last week to devise a plan for restor- ing government in Mexico probably will be resumed in New York city next Wednesday. Secretary Lansing made this announcement last night upon his return from New York, where he conferred with Secretary McAdoo early in the day. Mexican affairs and the cooperative efforts of the United States and Latin-American republics to end the factional strlte were discussed generally.
 we talked of the Mexican situa- tion,'' said Secretary Lansing, "but we did not consider any financial plan for supporting 8 Mexican government. The principal purpose of my visit to New York was to talk with MT. Me- Adoo concerning financial arrange ments for the Pan-American confer ence to be held in Buenos Aires in September. There is considera ole preliminary work to be done in con- nection with that.'
 Ortega Given Passports.
 Administration officials who were inclined to believe Saturday that peace barley between Mexican fac tions might soon result independent of the appeal to the military leaders, which will go forward from Pan American national were not so san guine yesterday. Reports from Mexico City that Dr. Juan J, Ortega, the Guatemalan minister there had been given his passports by Gen. Carranza and ordered to leave the. country within tWenty-four hours were re- sponsible for this change of mind Iii asmuch as Guatemala is represented in the Latin-Am erican conference, Carranza's drastic action is regarded here as indicating a disposition of un- friendliness toward the conference. Ortega's forced departure from Mexico, together with the departure of MT. Cordoso de Oliveira the Brazil ian minister to Mexico City, will leave l in the Mexican capital no diplomatic representatives of any of the seven l nations participating in the Mexican l conference.
 Unfriendly With Carranza. 1 pr. Ortega, it is stated here, has not been on good terms with General 1 Carranza for some time. It also has l been learned that Carranzas agents |! in Washington during the last few days have been appealing to the Gua- temalan minister here, MT. Mendez, urging him to support the cause of | Carranza in the joint deliberations now being held. Their appeals it is declared, have not been successful.
 Dispatches were sent also inquiring l into the reported action of General 1 Carranza, in giving Minister Ortega 1 his passports. The Guatemalan min- ister here sent an inquiry to Mexico l City, but had received no replay yes- l terday. "~r.s
