"WEDIATORS ARE | NEARINGTHE END Niagara Falls Conference ai Breaking Point. NAON VISITS WASHINGTON Argentine Diplomat Believed to Have Called on President Wilson as Mat ter of Courtesy Before Disbanding the Peace Meetings. Washington, June 20.—Mediation stands on the brink of failure. Only concessions by President Wilson or Huerta can save it. While the Niag ara conference halted Minister Naon of Argentina, one of the three South American mediators, returned to Washington for a conference with Secretary Bryan and probably to see President Wilson. He plans to start back to Niagara Falls shortly, carry. ing word whether the conference shall proceed or disband. Those officials who regard media- tion as having definitely failed look upon the minister's visit as one of courtesy, officially to notify Presi dent Wilson of the deadlock and in- quire formally if there is anything turther to be laid before the confer ence before it ends. If mediation fails the president plans to issue a statement fully in- forming the public on the position ol the administration and outlining his future course. No Change of Program. The president has no plans for go- ing hefore congress with any phase of the Mexican question and all talk of further armed intervention is said to be groundless at the present time. The same may be said of reports that the United States plans to recognize General Carranza, General Villa or any other faction in Mexico. But for the presence of American troops at Vera Cruz it is believed the American government might- resume its attitude of passive observation, while the two contending factions in Mexico decided the issue. It is this phase of the situation. however, which Is embarrassing the American gov. ernment, and by which the course of developmeitts, it is believed, may be shaped. Announcement at the White House that the president stands squarely on the princ enunciated in the state- ment of the American delegates seem- ed to make it certain that the United States will not be satisfied with any less than the choice of a man ap- proved by the Constitution: te head the new provisional government. The firm attitude of the Huerta dele- gates for a so called “neutrzl” seemed to hold out no hope of a break in the deadlock. POSITION OF UNITED STATES Ultimatum Delivered to Mexican Peace Envoys. Washington, June iless the Huertaista commissione Niagara Falls recede, mediation is at an end. It is stated here without qualifica- tion that the United States has given its last word. FKither Huerta retires voluntarily in favor of a provisional government dominated by the Con- stitutionalists or the United States will openly aid the rebels. There will be no invasion by Unit. ed States troops, but the embargo on arms will be again lifted in favor ot the Constitutionalists. There will be no discrimination against Huerta oth- er than that Vera Cruz will continue to be held against him and he will have to purchase any munitions he needs abroad and get them in through some other port. Secretary Bryan still believes that at the last moment the Hyertaista envoys will recede from their posi- tion and accept a provisional presi- dent with sttong Coastitutionalist leaning.
