Loaded with excursionists,

Except, perhaps, somebody

Reported by Papers to
Have Broken Down.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, october is (by
| the Associated Press).-Roberto V.
Pesqueira, financial agent for the
, Mexican government in New York:
George Creel. formerly chairman Of
the American committee on public
information. and nine prominent Mexi-
cans crossed the international bridge
at Laredo yesterday and departed for
Washington, according to advices from
Laredo.
MEXICO CITY. October II. - The
visit TO Mexico of George Creel. who
was chairman of the committee on
public information during the Euro
pean war. has caused considerable
comment by the Mexican newspapers
Mr.. Creel remained three days. and
the papers assert that his stay in the
capital was thus limited because Of
the break down of his confidential
mission"
Both Excelsior and FL Universal as
sign his departure to President de la
Huerta'S refusal to accept recogni-
ton of Mexico by the United States
ing that these conditions were the
basis of extended conferences which
he held with the provisional president
Ell Monitor. which is regarded as
the government organ, says that the
relations between Mr. Creel and the
u
His departure, however. is character
lied by Ell Universal as "precipitate
and unsuited to the occasion"
During his Mexican stay. Mr.. Creel
was associated with Roberto Pes
guerra. who proceeded to the United
States Saturday bearing credentials
as the Mexican confidential agent in
J Washington. Senior Pesqueira's ap-
pointment is regarded here as con-
Guiding an embarrassing situation
caused by an apparent conflict of
authority between him and Iglesias
Calderon. An official explanation has
been made. that the two men are in
perfect accord and that Senior Pes
guerra returns as confidential agent.
whereas Senior calderon retains his
title of high commissioner to the
White House. although he will remain
in Mexico to exercise his duties as
senator.
White House officials reiterated to-
day that George Creel, former chair
man of the committee on public in
formation. had not visited Mexico at
the instance of President Wilson
State Department officials likewise de-
clared that Creel's visit had no official
status.
