Main Point, After President
Wilson's Warning Is to Get
Factions TO Agree TO Stand
for Somebody,
CARRANZA'S FRIENDS
SEE HOPE FOR HIM
No War Preparations Ordered
by Secretary Garrison and
Washington Is in Dark as
to First Move,


Washington, June adjudication
of the presidents statement regarding
Mexico has stimulated gossip about
the strong man" who is TO be ac-
cepted by all the factions in the
country Iturbide Is Of course men
toned and Valesquez Tagle has been
entered. Tagle was minister of jus
tice in the murdered President Ma
dero's cabinet and refused Huerta' $
demand to resign. He is the logical
successor of Madero under the Mex
ican constitution. Apparently General
PHILIPPE Angeles has been given up
because of his military connection
with villa. Calderon is again nomi-
mated. But none of these names has
been definitely canvassed by the
American administration.
Unite Factions First Aim.
The main idea here is to get the
factions to agree to stand for some
body. The president will not back
anyone who is not for the reforms
that brought the constitutionalist
movement to the front He is in sym
pathy with ii and his one regret in
regard To Mexico is that the leaders
of that party could not stick together
and work out their platform.
1t is whispered In Washington that
the Brazilian minister to Mexico, who
has had charge of our affairs down
there for months, knows more about
who the strong man may be than
anybody else. 1t is believed that he
either directly or through Duval West
has proposed to the president the
names Of eligible men. He knows
however, that no man can quiet the
country who Is not acceptable to VII
Ia or carranza or both. Whoever the
man shall be he =will have to make
stern war on the bandit chiefs to eX-
terminate them. To do this he will
need the forces of both villa and Car
rama turned into national army.
Army Crowd Sees Action.
The practical difficulties in the way
of this policy make the army crowd
in Washington confident that at last
We are going to march into Mexico
and restore order.
General CarranZa's friends in this
city do not offer a word of criticism
of President Wilson'S note urging a
speedy settlement Of the revolution
in Mexico. on the contrary, they APP
plaud the sentiment expressed and
are themselves hopeful that there
will be solution of the present situ-
alton within thirty or sixty days. /
is also their belief that General Car
rama will be the man who will final
ly head the reorganized government.
Say Carranza Is the Man.
The Carranza people here believe
that the first chiefs answer to Presi-
dent Wilson's note will be a surprise.
Unlike his defiant utterance when
the president sent a force TO Vera
Cruz, they say that Carranzas reply
will take high tone and will be con-
ciliatory. without being servile. 1t
will be of such nature, In the opin-
ion Of his friends here, that when the
time comes for the president to take
further action. and it becomes neces-
safy for the United States to recog-
nize some man as the leader Carran-
"a will be the man on whom the
president will place the mantle or
leadership.
General Carranza's answer to the
presidents note will be sent before
the end of the week, in the judgment
of his friends here. The note was tel
egraphed to him a week ago, and lt
should not take more than a couple
of days to formulate an answer and
haHaillt II TO NbSnlnStOn.
Don't Expect Intervention
In the opinion of the Carranzistas,
President Wilson's statement does not
necessarily mean Intervention, in
event of the failure of an adjustment
between the various factions.
II there is no settlement in thirty
or sixty days said one of General
Carranza's friends "two courses Will

wants to do that The other method

Nlila representative here also went
IN record in a hurry. saying Villa
would meet the presidents wishes.
