ENJOYS RESUME
STUDY OF PLANS
American Party Wish Stress Laid on
Internal Affairs of Mexican
People.

New London, Conn, Sept. 18.-When
the Mexican-AmeriCan commissioners
resumed their conference today there
was reason to believe the Mexican rep
resentatives were prepared to insist
that their deliberations be directed to-
ward an agreement on control of the
border.
The American Representatives be-
lieving that the border situation was
merely incident to the general condi-
lions in Mexico, had planned tos con-
tinue their study of Mexico's internal
affairs.
Luis Cabrera, chairman Of the MeXi-
can delegation, presided today.
Luis Cabrera, chairman of the
Mexican delegation, who presided to-
day, admitted that reports of the dis
cussiOn of the internal affairs of his
country had brought to him an inquiry
from his government as to why the
border question was not made para
mount.
The American members, convinced
that the border conditions are init
mately related to the internal affairs
of Mexico, had planned to direct the
discussion today along the lines of So
cial and economic divisions in an ef-
fort to find base for a solution that
might prove lasting The MeXicans
entered the conference determined to
discuss only the border situation
which involves the question of the
withdrawal of the American troops.
The conference was resumed this af-
ternOOn.
1t was explained by those close to
the Mexican commissioners that such
discussion as had already taken place
regarding interior affairs of Mexico
was regarded by their government as
unwarranted.
Members Of the American commits
sion did not regard the insistence of
the Mexican representatives in pre-
ferring discussion of the border situa-
ton as anything endangering the sue
cess of the conference.
