Torreon Conference is
Expected to Settle All
Of Mexico’s Difficulties
By wire to the Journal.
Mexico City, Oct.'1.—Political dif
ferences of Mexico, which hare kept
the country in a state of revolution
for a number of yean, practically
demoralizing all buaineaa, are about
to be adjusted. Developments today
indicate that the conference between
representatives of General CarrauiA
. and General Villa at Torrdon will find
a rapid and direct solution for the
threatened uprising. ;
Parties In close touch with the sit-
station reported today all signs point
to an agreement that will prevent an
other revolution^ -
From many states pledges of sup
port for the decision agreed upon by
the representatives of Carranza and
Villa are being received. The feeling
of anxiety, which swept through the
country with General Villa’s warlike
declaration, while not entirely gone.
Is gradually subsiding.
The only think looked for In the
event of failure, which It is now be
lieved Is only a remote possibility, is
intervention by the United States.
