MEXICAN PROBLEM AGAIN
AT FORE in WASHINGTON
Carranza's Friends Hope for His Rec
ognition at Tomorrow's Conference


WASHINGTON, oct s. - The Mexican
situation came to the front again here
today and the big question in the minds
Of officials is whether recognition IL 20 be
extended to venustiano Carranza when
Secretary Of state Lansing, the Ambas-
sadors from Argentina, Chill and Brazil
and the Ministers from Bolivia, Uruguay
and Guatemala meet mere tomorrow aft
ernoon.
In the carranzista camp there is almost
jubilant confidence that the First Chief
is about TO be recognized. In the opposi-
tion ranks there is equal confidence that
no such action will be agreed upon at
this time. The State Department offcially
is silent.
Secretary Lansing. II was declared to-
day was most impressed by the state
ment OF Consul General John r. Silliman.
OF Vera Cruz yesterday, that Carranza's 8
party is solidly unified. Obregon, Tre-
vino and Gonzales, his chief leaders, are
declared to be in perfect accord with all
OF the First Chiefs policies. While the
decision will rest with the majority in
Saturdays conference. Il is generally be-
leved that Secretary Lansing's views will
bear great weight and may swing the
conference to his side.
