general expectation that representatives

say the military factions vii! continue

be demonstrated within the next Few
months whether the First Chief or villa

to BE- regarded as the dominant factor in
Mexican affairs.
Some officials admit that the evident

had been discarded several lonths ago,

hat when the Pan-Ainer!can conference
was organized the fundamental idea was
to eliminate all OF the present leaders
and TO bring into being "A new group
to which the seven republics could look
TO establish a provisional government.
Critics OF the Administrator insist
that the apparent willingness OF this
Government TO assent TO Carranza's pro-
posal dlscloses a purpose on the part OF
the Administration TO let the Mexican
AFFAIR drift along as 1t has been drifting
for the las two years.
The only explanation that Is advanced
for the failure OF this Government to

authorities are anN.ous to adjust what
they regard AS questions OF larger mo-
ment before dealing firmly with Mexico.

that we must adopt the double session

the summer should be allowed to go on.

whose parents are able to take them out
Of the city should be able to enjoy this
great benefit. The question OF drafting
teachers for work In the summer schools
with the children who would otherwise
run the streets Is veNatious.
ITO run the Writ plan we need many
Fairgrounds n auditorlums. since this
system calls for room for a third of the
pupils in classruoms, another third in
the playground and the last season In
the auditorium or library. No matter
what plan is adopted. however. I would
not c the Appropriation for next year
on the ground that IN two or three years
we might be able to effect a reduction
in the yearly cost"

No Recognition Yet.

II was said here to-day In an official
quarter that discussions by the Pan
American conference with Carranza as
to the International questions involved
in Mexico should in no way amount TO
recognition OF the First Chief as tho
head OF a provisional Government in
Mexico.
Officials here are inclined to the
opinion that II the Pan-American con-
ference agrees to discussions with Car
rama as proposed II may be pos
s!ble in time TO persuade Carranza TO
talk peace with the other Mexican
leaders in Mexico.
There is no present intention on the
part OF the Government ~signatOry to the
pan-American conference TO recognize
the CarranZa movement. Nevertheless
officials here insist that IL Carranza
continues his military successes he may
attain a position OF supremacy that
would warrant the American powers IN
extending their moral support in his
fight against the other factions and ulti-
mately accord TO his organization recOg
milton as a de facto government
Such action, however, according to
the authorities. is not likely to eventu-
ate in the near future. They point out
that things change quickly in Mexico
and that the villa faction may regain
some OF the ground II has lost. Ac-
Cordingly the american conference
is expected TO go no further at New
York than to agree TO Carranzas sug-
gestion for a discussion between dele
gates 10 be named ny him and repre-
sentatives Of the seven republics on the
