NEW YORK. Nov Special - The Mexican situation is becoming more complex. Carranza who has held office over year, is sun hopelessly at sea so far as accom- plishing anything is concerned. His principal need is money. This, he finds. is difficult to secure. He has tried in various ways to rehobiliate the finances Of his country but has met signal failure so far.
 One of his main hopes was that his conferees in the MeXican-Ameri- can conference would insert a plank" somewhere. in whatever agreement might be reached, for a substantial loan This hope has been dashed. for the nonce at least, as the conferences so far have not been productive of results. and it is now stated the conferees will take no action Of any kind until some weeks However that Carranza might not be taken unawares. he has assigned Luis Cabera Co nego- tiate loan of $lOO.OOO,OOO in this country. following settlement by ,he Mexican and American confer ees.
 But pending all these things, the situation in Mexico as regards Car ranza's term of office is becoming more and more uncertain A man thoroughly in touch with events in Mexico says this:
 "Very significant are happenings at this time. Carranza and his min lster of war, Obregon. and a retinue of administration officials are mak- ing headquarters at Queretaro. They have taken six carloads of war mu- nitions with them
