Is STANDING FIRM.
Ignore Rebels in
the Peace Plan
Enjoys Decide
TO Put through
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Niagara Falls, May 31.-It became
known tonight that the South Ameri-
can ENJOYS virtually had resolved to
go ahead with the plans for two
party agreement between the United
States and Huerta and for the time
being to ignore the question of Con-
stitutionalist representation. The only
thing to disturb such a course would
be an intimation from the United
States that 1T will withhold approval
of the provisional government plans
unless a prompt disposition is made
of the Constitutionalist participation
problem.
The Mexican delegates had no con
versation with the mediators on this
point The Huerta delegates expect to
receive Huerta's approval of the pea ce
plan and an opinion Of some Of the
names suggested for the new govern
ment tomorrow. At the conference
tomorrow morning the attitude toward
the Constitutionahst delegates will be
discussed. Should the American dele
gates consent to go ahead with the
earlier peace plan the mediators will
continue the efforts to an agreement.
The Huerta delegates see in the
Constitutionalist representation a pro-
longation of the parIeys while the mil
itary situation for Huerta might be-
come increasingly grave during the
negotiations progress. The feeling is
general here that the United States
will be justified in insisting on broad
ening the mediation proceedings, If
necessary, for a complete pacifcation
of Mexico.
