terror for Huerta, left Vera Cruz this
afternoon on the United States trans
port Hancock for Galveston. He was
accompanied by his wife and five OF his

accompanied to the ship by an armed
guard, which remained unit. the Ines

many from crying Traitor" and Muir

DR., Urrutia did not mind that. He was
so overjoyed at escaping that nothing

cARRANzA STILL STUBBORN.
Tells wsshisRtou Agents Tie VIII
Not Agree to Mediation.

WASHINGTON, MAY 23.--G.p. carranza
10 standing out stubbornly against the
efforts OF this Government 10 bring him
formally into the Niagara Falls confer
cnees.
The Constitutionalist leader has in
formed his representatives In Washington
that he will not reverse his former de-
cislon and consent to the mediation Of
Mexico's internal differences,
C&rsnIa Is opposed to the proposal
made by the nediators at Niagara Falls
for the creation OF a commission form
of government In Mexico pending the
holding OF a constitutional election. He
insists on the complete elimination OF
Huerta by the rebels and the establish
ment OF a military government to serve
until the regular authority Is called
into being under the operation OF the
Mexican Constitution.
This information reached Washington
to-day. but not in the form of a note to
the United States Governfnent II came
in q communication TO Carranza's agents
here, the substance OF which was lmmedi-
ately laid before Secretary OF State Bryan.
There Ii q chance. however, that the
leader OF the Constltutionalists will yield
TO the wishes Of the United States to the
extent OF sending representative In
formally 10 Niagara Falls This has not
been settled. but Carranza has Indicated
his willingness to agree II the United
States desires. 1t is apparent, however.
that such a representative OF the Con-
stitutionalists will In no way be a party
TO mediation proceedings looking TO the
settlement OF Mexico's internal troubles
He will go to Niagara Fails solely for
the purpose OF giv.ng-tbe United States
delegates and the med4ators the views Of
Carranza on any Developments that may
occur In other words, the Carranza
representative will merely sit on the side
lines without any intention Of actively
participating in the game
Secretary Bryan was able TO gather
ONE consolation out of this concessio on.
lie was apparently inclined TO regard IL
as stop In the right direction which
later might lead to a further advance by
Carranza toward mediation.
OhicIals here admit now that the sue
cess Of the Niagara Falls conferences de-
pend almost entirely upon the Constltu-
4onalist leader The only hope Of settling
:he Mexican situation lies IN the elimina-
ton Of Huerta and tine creation OF a com
mission form OF government as propC sed
BY the South American mediators This
plan, cannot, however. be carried out I'M
less Csrranza becomes n party to It and
until he does tho Niagara Fails con
ferences are nit likely TO make any sub
stantial progress.H- ---r-v. -r,
The Administrators hope OF drawing
CArranza into the conference rests aim 81
