Plan to Eliminate the
First Chief.
CONFERENCE TO-DAY
TO DECIDE MEANS
Wilson May Use His lnflu-
pnce to Consolidate
Other Factions.

wAsHfNGroN. Aug. 5.-The United
s,ates will send to the warrng factions
IN Mexico a final summons to get to-
se,her for the composing Of their differ
snees or take the consequences OF actions
BY Washington.
This warning to the Mexican leaders
srill have the full support OF the six
Latin American Governments whose
representatives were called into con- 4,
ference on the Mexican situation to-
day. Agreement to this effect was the
result of the first session OF the con-
ference held in the office Of Secretary
Lansing this afternoon.
These conferences will be resumed to-
morrow afternoon and II is hoped that
4, the conclusion of this second session
sl details of the procedure to be taken
.n Mexico by the United states will
nave been definitely decided upon.
The notice to the Mexicans, which
will constitute the next step in the
Presidents plans tor restoring peace In
Mexico, will in effect really be an ulti-
matum to Carranza. Inasmuch as villa
and Zapata already have agreed to CO.
orerate for a settlement Of the political
situation in Mexico. the next summons
will be a warning to Carranza that he
must either come In with the two other
leaders or be eliminated through the
power of the United States.
Carrauaa May Not Yield.
No one here tonight anticipates that
Carranza will yield in the slightest de-
gree Consequently. 1t Is expected the
tinted States warning will speedily be
followed by steps to consolidate the
other factions in Mexico and the estab-
lshment of a Government by them which
shall have the unmeasured support Of
the United states.
secretary Lansing made II clear to
the Latin American diplomats that the
President s now fully determined to
have peace in Mexico. He indicated
that the United States considers that
the revolution in Mexico ended year
ago that what has followed has been
an inexcusable state OF anarchy which
must be brought to an end. This the
President is determined to do; II not
in one way. then In another.
The six diplomats were assured that
President Wilson has no interest in per-
sonalities in the Mexican situation. but
that he is solely interested In terminating
the present situation and restoring the
reign of law and order in the revolution
rdden republic
The Presidents advisers are very
hopeful that his purpose can be accom-
plished without armed Intervention by
the United States, even II Carranza
should balk. They believe this can be
done through unlimited support OF a
man or group of men TO be selected
in some way not yet decided upon and
the adoption of extreme measures To
discourage any factions who may oppose
| them.
Seek q Madero Man.
One of the plans under consider ation
which win be discussed at the confer

the Madero cabinet for a man upon

method Of procedure which is being con-

Another suggested method OF setting
Up new Government to receive the
support OF the United States and OF the
La'ln American Governments is the

serNatire. or Cientfco element. who
would be assured at the outset of the
