MEX|CANS UNEASY
AT FINANCIAL TURN
Adjournment of Meeting of

Huerta Surprises.
By the Associated Press.

MEXICO CITY, June 10.-The .an-
nouncement that the committee of
bankers meeting with the secretary
of the treasury, De la Huerta, had
adjourned its sessions in New York
until Monday, with no sign OF
definite settlement of the Mexican
financial situation. came as a rather
unpleasant surprise to the Mexican
public. New York correspondents for
Mexico City newspapers had been op
timistic in emphatically stating that
the conference would terminate today
with a Mexican victory.
Today's Mexico City newspapers.
however, assured their readers that
the negotiations were progressing
smoothly, with a bright prospect of
an early agreement entirely favor
able to Mexico.
FL Universal editorially called at
tention to the difference in view
points as expressed by special corre-
spondents and Associated Press dis
patches, admitting that perhaps the
former were overenthusiastic in their
patriotic desire to see Secretary de
la Huerta triumph. Referring to
the drop in Mexican bonds. the news
paper said this did not indicate
breakdown in the negotiations, but
rather showed that the bankers had
accepted Senior de la Huerta's plan
for interest payments, which would
cause a natural drop in the value OF
the bonds.
