DELEGATES Counter Proposals of the American Gov’t Made Known To day to the Huerta Representatives. Provide for Method of Transferring the Executive Power From Dictator to New Provisional Regime. If Carranza is to Enter Confer ence, He Should Do So at Once. Washington, D. C—Secretary Bryan after a conference today with Presi dent Wilson, said both were very hope ful that the constitutionalists would participate in the mediation negotia tions at Niagara Falls. The increased hope of administra tion chiefs, it was believed was based on reports that had reached them from agents of Carranza here who are in communication with their chief at Saltillo. Submitted to Mexicans. Niagara Falls, Ont. —The mediators today submitted to the Mexican dele gates the counter proposals of the American government for the pacifi cation of Mexico. The American plan Is with few modifications the same as that which mediators ajid Mexican delegates recently agreed upon and which General Huerta approved. It provides the method of transferring the executive power in Mexico City from the present regime to a new provisionad government which shall, in a few months, conduct elections for prtesident, vice president and mem bers of congress. Agree on No Names. No names have been agreed upon fo-athe new provisional president or hiscu tbbinet. ih fact, neither side has yet ade its nominations. The pro gram of the proceedings is about as follows; Within a day or two the Mexican plan and the American plan will have been dovetailed into one and a futl conference of 5W parties will be called. Final approval is not expected im mediately from either party, however, as the mediators then will ask the American delegates to ascertain the attitude of the constitutionalists. This may proceed through the Washington government or in any manner the del egates choose. The mediators will take a brief recess in the meantime. New Suggestions. Should there be any new from the constitutionalists the United States government will endeavor to arrive at a compromise with them. When an agreement is reached the re sults will again be placed before the mediation board and the Huerta dele gates. The expectation is that if the constitutionalists are willing to dis cuss the peace plan with the American government an agreement can be reached in a short time as the pro gram already makes provision for lib eral participation by the constitution alists in the new provisional govern ment. | In Day or Two.
