FATE OF MEXICO
 STILL UNDECIDED
Pan-American Conference Ad- iourns Without Taking Action

Washington, Aug. e.-The Pan American conference considering means to restore peace to Mexico Al- journed yesterday after having de- veloped no divergence of opinion as to its general purposes, but leaving undecided the exact course to be pu sued. It will reassemble in New York probably next week.
 Meanwhile the Lstin-American dfp- lon1ats will communicate with their governments and Secretary Lansing will confer with President Wilson.
 Upholds Wilson's Plan.
 Two days of conferences and hea-- ing reports have brought all the par ticipants in accord with President Wilson's general plan, which is pren.- ised on the fact that the great ma jority of the people of Mexico desire peace, which, to be lasting. must go beyond consideration of those who have furthered their plans through , force of arms. The conferees were impressed that while the armed fore es are in position to keep the country in state of turmoil. they are only a small. proportion of the people of Mexico.
 While all the participants are in sympathy with the presidents plans to induce the military factions to en- ter another peace conference and have signified tIeir willingness to CO., operate with it to the fullest extent, the South Americans are not sanguine of success unless some way can be found for elimination of the military leaders and recognition of all classes in Mexico. It is realized that thero are questions of vast moment, when considered in the light of Mexico's international obligations and the re- responsibilities of the nations which are preparing to sponsor her rehabilita- ton that connot be determined in any brief conferences. but must be the subject of deliberation.
 Concessions Big Issue
 Foremost is the extent to which tho claims of the military chiefs shall be considered and what concessions be- tween them can be arranged. One development which emphasized that feature was the despatch last night of Major General Scott, chief of staff of the army, to the Mexican border to confer with General Villa.
 The war department refused to comment on General Scott's mission and it was said there that any state ment would be made by the state de- partment. It was generally believed that Gen. Scott, in whom Gen. Villa has expressed confidence and to whom be often has turned for advice will outline to the northern chieftain the need of consideration for the other factions. This was taken to in- x dicate that some of the conferees I were impressed that the military sue t cess and the extent of territory con- quered by Gen. Carranza would sn-l title him to a greater measure of con- E sideration than Gen. Villa has been inclined to admit.
 Details Kcrt Secret.
 No official announcement was made 'f the proceedings yesterday and the f, declined to discuss de- aiis of their deliberations.
 The conference adjourned at 5:IB }. m., to meet in New York on a date o be set later. It was inferred t1e ime of the meeting would be deter mined by advices to the Latin Amer can conferees from their govern- nents on reports they will submit. The South and Central American dip- omats planned to leave last night 1r oday for their summer residences.
 The meeting fin New York will he ubject to call by Secretary Lansing who indicated after the conferencs hat 1t would be held within two or hrec days.
