The size Of the contract did not dauut
him at all In due time he was in FL
Paso and on the job
III paso TOO Hot
TWO considerations moved pr DOR
dan to transfer the scene of his ac-
tvities from III Paso TO Albuquerque
In the first place, the weather in the
border city was not at all TO his lil
ing. lie frankly admitted yesterday
that IT is exceedingly warm IN I'll Paso
1T the present time.
Then again. he said, ne feared that
his presence in ll paso would be en-
barrassing to the MeXlcans just why
the Mexioans should be embarrassed
by him was not altogether clear but
at any rate Or. Jordan thought that
in all the circumstances Albuquerque
was better place to be than I,l Paso,
and he accordingly came here. leav-
ing it to his secretary Baney Gal
liant to arrange for the presence here
OF the two Mexican conferees. Modes
TO ROLAND, prominent civil engi-
neer. and Manuel Rojas. an educated
Mexican and librarian of the national
library IN Mexico CitS. Dr All, the

way to Washington, but il was
hoped that he could be intercepted
and directed to proceed TO Albuquer-
que
Bryan on the Circuit.
Or Jordan explained that, besides
himself the American conferees Sc
leeted by the union were William ion-
nngs Bryan and Frank p. Walsh. He
vas hopeful that Nh Walsh would
show up. As 10 MI Bryan, he enter
tanned serious doubts. Not that he
questioned the sincerity Of the former
cabinet minister's advocacy OF peace
at any price, but he recalled that the
chautauqua season is at It's height,
and that the conmoner is out on the
circuit On the whole, said Dr. 1or-
dan rather sadly, It could hardly be
expected that Mr.. Bryan would be
here
Last night pr Jordan was sum
moned TO WASHINGTON. In the tele-
gram which he received il was ex-
planned that Moorefield storey, not
ed Boston lawyer. and Amos Pinohot
had been substituted for Mr. Bryan
and Mr.. Walsh ana that the future

pr Jordan explained that the acts
OF the conferees will not have any
binding force, as they are in no sense

He was confident. however. that much
good would come ont of the confer

illusions The conferees would reach or
whether they would reach any con-
claSions Il ait.
Assuming doctor" he was asked
that the conferees agree upon plan

"oh," WAS the reply we have an
expert publicity man who will look
after that The matter viii be pub

Or Joraan seemed 20 think that
that settled it. He added. in reply 10
