Niagara Falls. Ont, June 15.--The
three South American mediators form
ally advised General Carranza by tele-
graph tonight that they would not
admit his representatives to the con-
terence here unless an armistice were
declared and internal as we'll as inter-
national phases of the Mexican problem

Constitutionalist delegates to the medi-
alton conference, at which. according

Ing an nrmistice. and that his repre-

hours discussing candidates for pro-
visional president.

CiIttASZA LETTERS
BARELY MENTIONED
The Carrnnza Communications bare
ly We're mentioned at the conference
which was devoted entirely TO the
question of selecting a Provisional
President to succeed General Huerta
1t was the third day OF discussion of
personnel and was as fruitless as pre-
vious meetings. AS rapidly as the
American delegates mentioned n name,
the Huerta delegates cited their OBJ
jections to 1t. Absolutely no headway
was made. The American delegates
spoke of but few individuals, as the
Washington government Is expert
cncing considerable difficulty in get
ting names OF suitable men.
During the conference, inquiry was
made as to whether Charles "A Townc
Was representing the interests of the
Huerta government in Washington
Tho Huerta delegates replied that theyr
knew nothing about his activities.
The discussion of personnel will con-
tinue until all names have been ex
hausted. Minister Naon, or Argentina 4
left tonight for Yale and Harvard
where he will receive an honorary de-
gree.
II ic becoming more apparent daily
that the two sets o. delegates are far
apart. That deadlock on names is
bringing on a crisis IN the negotiations
is admitted here.
