(By Associated Press)

Niagara Falls. Ont, June 26.--After
day OF waiting with no word Of the
plans OF the Constitutionalists with
reference to the proposed informal
conference with the Huerta delegates
over MeXico's internal affairs. the me-
diation colony is showing signs of
anxiety.
Few are certain that the Contitu-
tiOnalists will participate. 1t became
APPARENT today that although spokes-
men OF General Carranza had express
ed themselves in favor Of the confer
ences. the COnstitutionalist chief had
by no means made up his mind. II is
expected strong pressure will have
to he exerted to persuade him to
agree to the plans as set forth by the
mediators when they outlined the me-
thods for the adjustment OF the inter-
national side of the problem, leaving
the selection of provisional presi-
dent TO be determined by the two
Mexican factions.
The Constitutionalists' victory: at
Zacatecas. II Is recognized. may have
a psychological influence on the stu
alton. II 1t produces cohesion in the
Constitutionalist ranks and lust for
more military successes. close obscr-
vers think that the ConstitutionaIists
will be less disposed to leave the ques-
tion TO diplomatic discussion.
That the American government will
use it's influence for the settlement
Of the controversy by diplomacy Is not
doubted here. The program of the
ConstitMtiOnalists may be to capture
the governmental power by military
strength. hut indications are that the
United States may withhold It's strong
est pressure. the promise of recogni-
tiOn. If further bloodshed and loss Of
life is not averted and terms of peace
arranged.
