taken in dealing with the situation In
Mexico probably will be reached at the

afternoon.

the draft of a letter to the Mexican
chieftains, requesting them to lay down
their arms and agree upon provisional
President, pending the election OF n
new ruler. who would end the chaos In
the republic.
There was every indication that this
draft would be formally approved by
the Latin-American diplomats. or that
one similar In character would be in
dorsed by the conference without
lengthy discussion. Mr.. Lansing him
self has engaged accommodations on the
midnight train to Washington. and 1t
was stated that there was little likeli-
hood that the conference would continue
throughout tomorrow.
