pected to follow n meeting OF the Fan
American conference which will be as
sembled In New York this week, prob
ably on Saturday. The exact date Of
the New York meeting will be an
nounced tomorrow.
1t Is understood that the conference
will canvass the situation with a view
to determine whether the factions OPP
posed to CarranZa are strong enough
to establish q provisional government.
There Is a possibility that In view of
the refusal OF Carranza to support the
convention plan the conference may be
dissolved and the United States proceed
to the task of restoring order In Mexico
along its own lines. Some officials are
of the opinion that Intervention In Mex
leo is inevitable and that the United
states will be forced to take this step
despite efforts made to avoid such an
ev~entuallty.
Information received here to-day In
dicates that this Government faces an
ugly situation on the Mexican border.
1t has been established to the satisfac-
ton of officials here that Carranza sol
diers provoked the border situation and
that there will be more trouble in that
quarter II any action Is taken preju-
dicial to the interests OF tho First Chief
and his Government.
Enrique L%lorente, villa agent In
Washington, issued "A statement tonight
In which he said that the activities
on tho border indicated Carranza In
ability to exercise supreme control In
any part of Mexico.
