MEDIATORS SEE LITTLE
HOPE OF AGREEMENT

Bringing Delegates Together.

NIAGARA FALLS. Ont, June a.
The American and Huerta delegates
hold firmly today to the opposite
views expressed by them in public
statements explaining the type Of
man desired by each side for provi-
sional president Of Mexico.
Both sides having gone on record
before the world the prospect is that
neither win give way and that the
deadlock viii result in a complete
breakdown Of mediation.
Word was received today from Min
lister Naon. of Argentina, that he
ould not return until tomorrow from
his trip to New Haven and Cam
bridge. where he received honorary
degrees The conference that was 70
have been held today was therefore
postponed until tomorrow. Il may
! be determined then whether any COM
mon ground remains for an agree
ment Only the abandonment of the
academic discussion on the type OF
man and the continuance of the
search for an individual acceptable 10
all parties can reutrn the situation
/ from it's hopeless state toward the
/ channel of possible solution.

The American delegates still have
scme names to submit, but the Huer-
| ia delegates have opposed energetic
ally all persons suggested thus far,
and there is little likelihood that any
name emanating from the American
delegates will be considered seriously.

submit a list of five names. There IS
a faint hope that one of these VIII pc

rot profess optimism.

vised. Likewise. the American dele
/ gates insisting on a Constitutionalist
for provisional president have argued
/ that the Constitutionalist party not
/ only dominates the country, from
military point Of view, but is nuenir-
icallx in the majority. Emilio RAJ
hasa. the head of the Mexican delega-
ton. emphatically denied today that
the Constitutionalists controlled the
greater population, saying millions of
people had been passive and had not
! Indicated in any way that tbeE
favored the revolution. He argued
also the impracticability of BIZ
partisan election board such as mas
been proposed by the American dele
cation.
Mexican Delegates Confer
The Mexican delegates were IN ce-s-
ference today discussing whether
they should issue another statement
in answer to the American delegates
utterance of last night. The most
striking thing about the document
issued bv Justice Lamar, with the
consent and approval of President
Wilson and eScretary Bryan. was its
unfiinching argument for Constitu-
tionalist control of the soA Ae1 nment-
This was on the ground THAI military
success by the Constitutonaiisfs soon
would give them that power. and X
was the duty of the Huerta party to
cooperate with the American gov
eminent in avoiding further blood
shed. in arranging a transfer of gov
ernment at once.
The break between Carranza and
Villa has not affected the viewpoint
of the American government, which
believes that Mexico's population
svrnpa athizes with the principles of
the Constitutionalist movement re-
gardless of the personality of its
leaders.
THE American representatives ut
terlE repudiate any suggestions that
theAmerican President has any in
tention of destroying the electoral
liberty of Mexico, was the reply
; madeto the suggestion of Mr.. Rabasa
! that putting the Constitutionalists in
J control of the provisional govern
ment was "tantamount to abetting,
2 and even exacting fraud, and the
elections.
? To the proposal of the Huerta dele
-.
American memorandum set forth
/ that to reach an agreement with the
+ Huerta delegates alone, without
securing the approval of the Consti-
, tutionalists would be at best "a
7 paper agreement, and would not
stop the progress OF the victorious
G army nor bring that speedy peace
y which the American government SO
sincerity desires"
