ference with his subordinate generals
over the invitation from the media

by the constitutionalists as Ia when

the American commissioners to the
Falls conference returned to
today and talked briefly
with President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan. The president congratulated
them upon their painstaking work
They will remain here subject to call
should the constitutionalists agree to
meet the IIuerta delegates
At the consttutonalist headquar-
tcrs il was apparent that the immedi-
ate source Of anxiety was not so much
the proposed meeting with l1ucrta
delegates, but their own internal
troubles. chiefly the differences be-
tween General villa and Cafranza.
The conference at Torreon with a
view to settling these differences was I
reported still to lie in progress and
statements were made here
tonight that all differences would be
adjusted within a short !
lime and that the military campaign I
against Mexico city would be renewed /
shortly with increased vigor.
