Send HUERTA TO mexico
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Oct 1S.-Discus-
sion of the probable fate Of General
Huerta and the probable name OF the
United States ambassador TO Mexico,
overshadowed the actual recognition
planned for Carranza as the Pan
American conference opened It's maj
session this afternoon.
The case of Huerta was practically
disposed of by reiteration OF the gov
ernment's purpose to hold him until
charges made against him In this
country are disposed of in court. by
that time, If Carranza has proved MN
self. extradition papers undoubtedly
will be honored and the one-time dc
tator sent back across the border In
Mexico's present disordered condition
however, the justice department is
loath to give Huerta up to his enc
mics feeling Il would be only TO IN
cite further trouble.
Henry Prather Fletcher, OF Cham
bersburg, Pa, was today considered
likely choice for ambassador tc
Mexico. He is now ambassador t'
Chile and has been in the diplomau'
service since 1902.
The same grounds for his choice, "a
miliarity with Latin-American affairs
however. applies to two other prom
lnently mentioned diplomats, Edwin \
Morgan. now ambassador TO bra1i
and Frederick j. Stimson, ambassad'
, 10 Argentina. ,
