e@arranza's a Followers Predict Villa
 Movement Will Soon Collapse

NWashington, June 7.--Advices that VIII determine the truth of reports efA victory at Leon for Obregon, Gen eral Carranza's commander over Villa and Angeles were awaited today by admlnistration officials, in view of the n0sslb effect of such a turn on the Mexican situation. It. was believed here that if Carranza has been vic- torious his next step would be an at tempt to re-enters Mexico City and es- (tablish a government with view to obtajning recognition by the United |States
 Collapse of Villa Movement. Earranza representatives here re- ksarded the unofficial reports of the }capture by Obregon of Leon and the Dnting of the Villa forces as evidence Eh4t the Villa movement would soon umpletely collapse. Villa represen- Htives on the other hand, said their atest adyices showed that Villa and 4ngeles had driven Obregon far south
 Leon and that the main body of he Carranza army was in a critical bpsition near Trinidad.
 SsThe Carranza representative here las received a message from Car kanza consul on the border saying he had been approached by Villa off, Rial, speaking presumably with au- hority to learn what could be done to Eart parleys. The message has been 'nrwarded without comment to Car anza at Vera Cruz. At Villa head uarters,4 however, it was said no of- eial adyices had been received that leaee negotiations had begun.
