FL PASO. Tex April 25.-Mexican officials in Juarez, it was learned to- night may make recommendation to General Carranza asking that the con- ference between General Hugh L. Scott and General Alvaro Obregon be held at some other point than Juarez or Fl Paso.
 This move. ii it is made. will be based on the strong interventionist feeling which exists here and in the fear that influence adverse to the dc facto gov ernment might be brought to bear on the conferees.
 There is no question that. the inter ventionists are very strong in Fl Paso The feeling is intensified by the presence here of a large number of American refugees who have been reduced to poverty through being forced to abandon the businesses they had built up n Mexico. In addition there is large and powerful element composed of heads of big mining con cerns in Mexico who have been com pelled to close down their plants since 6 year or more ago and who are all most unanimously in favor of inter- vention.
 A certain section of the interven tioaists have unfortunately caused some friction by sedulouslv creating rumors of outrages committed on | Americans by Mexicans and for the destruction by Mexican mobs of Amer l ican property. These stories were l .,x.,-,1,- ,,z,- tod aIx- 1 imaginary and have caused deep re- sentiment on the part of Mexican of ! ficials in Juarez. There is always 1 sure to be I fresh crop of them every time it is reported tha- the American troops are going to be withdrawn. At the same time both sides ex- press the greatest satisfaction over the conference. The interventionists are convinced that General Scott will he She bearer of an ultimatum to the de facto government. the Mexicans and those Americans who have no
