Fair r! - MEDIATORS ARE READY TO ADMIT PLAHJS FAILURE Argentine Diplomat Comes to Wash ington to Confer with President and Secretary Bryan. DEADLOCK OVER PRESIDENT Administration Refnses to Yield on Stand Taken for Man Accept able to Insurgents. HUERTA DELEGATES ARE FIRM Dictator's Agents Want Neutral for Provisional Executive. BRYAN AND NAON ARE SILENT Ambassador ProbaMy "Will AalK Sec- retnrr If He Hrui Any Informa tion that Will Make It Art-T-lnable to Continue. WASHINGTON. June 19. Mediation stands today on the brink of tallure. Only concessions by President "Wilson or Huerta can save It. While the Niagara conference halted Minister Naon of Argentina, one of the tnree South American mediators, returned to Washington for & conference with Sec retary Bryan and probably to see Presi dent Wilson. He planned to start back to Niagara Palls tonight carrying word whether the conference shall proceed or disband. Announcement at the White House that the president stands squarely on the prin ciples enunciated In the statement of the American delegates seemed to make It certain that the United States will not be satisfied with anything less than the choice ot a man approved by the consti tutionalists to head the new provisional government. The Arm attitude of the Huerta delegates for a so-called "neu tral" seemed to hold out no hope of a break In the deadlock. The situation, admittedly another crisis, was discussed In the cabinet meeting and some sort of an official statement from i the president himself informing the pub lic 'fully, In case mediation falls, was promised. Officials closest to the president de clared that all talk of further armed In tervention or ot recognition of Carranza or Villa at this stage was unfounded. If mediation, falls the president plans to Issue a statement fully informing the publlo on the position of the adminis tration and outlining his future course. The president has no plans for going before congress with any phase of the Mexican question, and all talk of further armed intervention is groundless at the prftsent time, according to officials. The same, they say, may be said of reports ' that the United States plana to recognize General Carranza, General Villa or any other faction in Mexico. Break Is Expected. The luue of the note of the Mexican delegates by Senor Rabasa, and the reply ot the American delegates, published last night after It had been approved by President Wilson, admittedly has brought the mediation conference to a point where It generally is expected to fall unless one side gives way. The Huerta delegates, standing firm for the selection of a "neutral" for the pro visional presidency, and the 'American delegates no less firm that the new ex ecuttve shan be one fully approved by the constitutionalists, are confronted with a situation which only a modification of demands on one side can ameliorate. The general belief was that Mr. Naon had re turned to Washington to use his efforts with the president and secretary of state to prevent a break. It was among the possibilities, too, that he might personally present the names of some of the men suggested for the presidency of Mexico. Almost at the hour of Mr. Naon's ar rival, a long mersage was received at the White House from the American dele gates. The cabinet assembled at the White House as the news of Minister Naon's return became known. Evidently none of the other members had heard the news officially, for they received It with ex presslons of surprtso and greatest inter est. It had been planned to give over the entire meeting to a discussion of the Mexican situation, After a short stay at his hotel, Minis ter Naon 'went to the Argentine legation. (Continued on Page Two.)
