Show ' END OF CONFERENCE NEAR. ! Mediators Fail in Mission to Bring Constitutionalists in Harmony With ! Scope of Mediation. ' Is'iagara Falls, Ont. Justice Lamar and Frederick W1. Lehmann, Ameri-; Ameri-; can delegates to the mediation con ference, went to Buffalo Tuesday and : "talked for four hours with f.lafael I Zubaran and Luis Cabrera, personal j representatives of General Carranza. Their purpose was to find some way to bring the constitutionalists in har-I har-I mony with the scope of mediation. ' The mission was a failure. J The constitutionalist representa- tives, who had come from Washington i to see the. American delegates, told ! them why they could not agree to an armistice; why only a man prominent j in the constitutionalist ranks will be accepted by them for the provisional presidency, and, finally, they believed believ-ed the constitutionalist army would settle the Mexican problem soon if ' left unhampered by foreign complica- , tions. The Americans returned to Niagara feeling that so far as the political pacification of Mexico is concerned ' mediation had accomplished nothing, and probably the end of the conferences confer-ences was near. |
