WIDE POWERS FOR
COMMISSION, IDEA
(By Leased Wire to New Mexican.)

(By Leased Wire to New M~exican.)
Washington, July 26. II Develop
ments in the diplomatic discussion with
the de facto government of Mexico
have been at a ~standstill five days
awaiting a report from General Car
rama to suggestions transmitted
through Observation-Disclosures Eliseo
Arrenondo. This was stated officially
at the state department today in reply
to reports from Mexico City that the
Mexican membership of the proposed
commission to seek a solution of bor-
der difficulties had been selected.
Preliminary conferences between
Acting Secretary Polk and Mr.. Are
dondo have SO far failed to produce
any definite result. It is understood
the Washington government desires
that the powers of the commission be
far greater than General Carranza has
proposed and that Mr.. Arredondo
some days ago forwarded such a sug-
gestion. Delays of the de facto gov
eminent in making known its views
on the new suggestions and the fact
that inaccurate statements as to the
status of negotiations have been made
in Mexico City inclined some officials
here today to believe that some OBJ
has been encountered in the eff
to decide upon the scope of the
proposed commissions decision.
