[HERE’S YET SOME HOPE;
MEDIATION PROCEEDINGS
MAY LAST WEEK LONGER
Conference in Washington Be
tween Minister Naon. of Ar
gentina, and President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan Results
in Causing Mediators Not to
Adjourn Abruptly. As Expect
ed. More Cons dent, Says
Naon. of Ultimate Success of
Mediation
Dr. Naon Returned From the
Capitol With New Ideas
Which He Imparted to Other
Mediators. President Wilson
Says “Outlook is More Hope
ful.” Say Mexican Delegation
Will Not Take Initiative
Should Mediation Break Up
Niagara Falla, Ont.—lnntrad of n»1
JourtiinK abruptly, thr*
mediation proceeding* will be pro
longed for another week.
The change waa brought about as a
iomit of the visit of Minister Naon
of Argentina to Washington, where
he conferred with President Wilson
Mud Secretary Hryan. l)r. Naon
brought back ;i spirit of optimism and
some new Ideas, which he imparled
to Ainhassndor |)a ama of Itrnxtl and
Minister Snares of Chile. It was an
nounced after their talk that ther*‘
would he no conference until Monday.
The Argentine envoy reiterated the
toopafuJnchM he expressed earlier in
ih day.
For a Provisional President.
The determination reached is to
keep the mediation hoard from formal
adjournment though there may be a
recess In another week or so, while
the search Is continued for persons
eligible, according to the ideas set
forth In the conference, for provisional
president of Mexico.
Although no definite plan has been
framed, all parties expressed a wish
to mah' renewed effort to effect a
com promise.
There s every reason to believe that
the friction bet ween General Garranza
and General Villa and the report that
General Huerta intended to retire in
favor of Pedro affected the
tnediutors in their decision. The pos
nihility of developments in Mexico in
tile immediate future which might
change the entire aspect of the prob
lem here also has been taken into con
skis ration
Suggestion in Fsvor.
The suggestion that the mediators
waive for the lime being the question
of personnel and try to agree on all
the other parts of the pence program
is much in favor. After it is complete
the discussion would revert to Dimes
for the provisional presidency. If n<>
agreement were reached all members
of the mediation colony would delight
In a recess while I lie aeurch for name.*;
was continued.
Dr. Naon's ideas, it Is believed,
have not crystallised into a definite
proposal. The impression here is that
his chief object in profeaaiug opti
mism is to prevent the deadlock be
tween the Americans and Mexicans
from precipitately ending th© negoti
ations.
“Outlook Mor« Hopeful."
Til*- American view In best reflected
by the et»truu>nt of President Wilson
that “the outlook la more hopeful.”
The view of the llucrta government,
aa expressed by Mr. Hillman, la thnt
the Mexican delegation will not take
the Initiative ts the conference la to
break up. l'r. Niton annulled up the
situation from the mediators' point of
view, when he predicted that the ne
gotiations would bo continued unotlier
two weeks.
All parties to mediation have refer
red to the determination not to yield
on any point which was proclaimed
In public statements by both the Am
erican and Mexican delegates, but It
was pointed out yesterday that the
latter left a loop hole In thetr recent
statement crltntxjnK the American
plan. In this statement Mr. Rabnsa
said the American demand that a con
stitutionalist he selected for provis
ional president had been rejected by
the Mexican delegation “of Its own
accord and without even consulting
Its governments" As General Huerta
admittedly w-ne not consulted on this
point it was said the Mexicuns might
recede from their position ts the gov
ernment wished that this supplied an
additional wa.v, If needed, by which
the conferences might be prolonged.
Upon Naon'a Arrival.
Buffalo, N. V. —•"! was never more
confident than I am today of th,. ul
timate success of mediation," sHld Dr
ltomulo 8. Kaon, minister from Ar
gentina, when he arrived hero Satur
day after conferences In Washington
wnh President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan.
Minister Vson predicted that nego
tiations w/ultf he continued at least
another two weeks.
Always Difficulties.
"I am confident.” Minister Naon
added, "and optimistic, which I have
always been While I regard the
difficult lea which have been eneouu
tered as serious, there are alwnvs
dlftlcultles In mgtiatton and It is
the duty of mediators always to find
a way to overcome them so peace
may be accomplished "
Aa the minister took ah automobile
to « hotel for luncheon prior to re
turning to Niagara Kalis, he said he
would consult with his colleagues to
night before making .my announce
ment and that there probably would
be no full session oT delegates and
mediators until Monday.
Dsclinsd to Say.
Dr Naon declined to say what pro
posals he had In mind which wotnu
break the deadlock In the mediation,
but It was apparent that be had found
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan anxious for one thing—the par-
Illinium of Mexico —and ready to Is
ten to further compromises or *ug- (
I gehtions out of which a solution
I might lie found.
Publication of the statements set
ting forth tne respective positions of
the American and Huerta delegates
admittedly has cast .1 shadow of
doubt over the negotiations in that
each side finds it difficult ot recede
from a publicly announced attitude.
Strong Probability.
But there is a strong probability in
the opinion of Mr. Naon, that by
abandoning the discussion of types
and Individuals and going ahead on
the other important points In the
peace plan, a man may be found In
the interim who would satisfy, if not
the letter, at least the principles ot
both ttie American memorandum and
tliai issued by the Huerta delegates.
In any event Minister Naon was sure
the mediation at least would resolve
the difficulties between the United
States and Mexico and spoke with
confidence of the ultimate solution
of the internal problem.
Goes Into Confernce.
Minister Naon arrived by automo
bile from Buffalo shortly before 3
o’clock and went into conference im
mediately with Minister Da Gama
and Minister Suarez. It was said
there would he no formal conference
will) tlie delegates until Monday.
Denied by Rebels.

Huerta consul here, said today that
two days ago he talked with several
persons who said they had seen in

manifesto issued by Villa proclaiming
linn, Angeles provisional president of

names of his Informants, saying they
had left El Paso, He said thut they

That Villa had proclaimed anybody
for provisional president was denied
by all constitutionalist agents here,

States to Participate
GEORGIA TROOPS TO BE

Local Officers of Militia From

Washington.—The invitation ex
tended by the war department to
Governor Please of South Carolina
to have organized militia of that
state participate in the maneuver
camp to be held In Augusta, Ua.,
next month, lias been withdrawn be
cause of the failure of the South Car
olina militia to meet the require
ments of the Dick militia law as com
strued by the law offices of the de
partment.
The attention of Govornod Blease
some months ago was called by the
war department to the shortcomings
of the South Carolina militia in the
matter of missing equipment and
shortage of men in ttie various
grades The result was some spirit
ed correspondence between the gov
ernor and the secretary of war. Fi
nally Governor Hluase undertook tn
meet the requirements of the depart
ment. t
Trouble later arose between the
governor and the secretary of war
OTOT tlie location of the proposed
joint encampment oil the isle of
Faints, S. C. Secretary Garrison fi
nally temporarily transferred this
camp to Augusta, Ga. Since then
reports from the offices of tiie war
dcl»artuient have disclosed the fact
that the South Carolina militia still
is deficient in the various matters
complained of originally and Secre
tary Garrison therefore has felt
obliged to withdraw the department’s
invitation to participate In the man
euver camp to be held in Augusta.
So Tar South Carolina, is the only
Southern state which will be exclud

count
The story in The Herald yesterday
front Charleston to the effect that the
invitation of the war department to
have the organised militia of that
state participate in the Augusta man
euver camp had been withdrawn was
the topic of a great deal of interest
The question which arose In every
one's mind was whether or not the
war department had w ithdraw n invi
tation to the other states. The above
Associated Press dispatch from
W ashington, received lasi night, ex
plains that Stmth Carolina is the only
Southern state affected.
The Georgia troops, therefore, will

VILLA OFF FOR
THE ASSAULT
ON ZACATECAS
Rebel General Says About
25,000 Men Will Be in the
Attack. Declares That Mexi
can Patriots Should Fight
Huerta Rather Than Engage
in Politics
Torreon—(over military wires to El
Paso, Tex.) —The last of the organiza
tions of the division of the north, to
be employed in the attack on Zacatecas,
left here early today. Gen. Villa and
his staff will follow either late today or
early tom-morrow morning.
Enough Ammunition.
“In the attack on Zacatecas will be
employed about 25,000 men,” said Villa
today. “Of this number about 20,000
belong to the division of the north.
We will he supported by 51 pieces of
field artillery and seventy-three ma
chine guns. There is enough ammu
nition for both as well as for the men.
"I would prefer that those Mexican
patriots who engage in politics take a
rifle and help fight Gen. Huerta,”
Villa continued, with a broad smile.
“For myself, I wish to say that I am
out of politics and that bringing this
campaign to a successful conclusion is
the only object I pursue.”
Seventy Wounded.
Last night a train with fifty-six
wounded soldiers arrived here from the
Zacatecas scene of operations. They
were taken to the military hospital.

DORSEY WON’T
RUN FORME
Solicitor Gen’l Issues State
ment Regarding the Gover
norship and Long Term U. S.
Senatorship.
Atlanta, Ga. —Solicitor General Hugh
M. Dorsey, will not be a candidate for
any state-wide office at the approach
ing Democratic primary in August.
In declining to offer for either the
governorship or the long term senator
ship, he issued the following statement
late Saturday afternoon: “My official
duties have been such for some time
that I have been unable to give consid
eration to personal or political mat
ters. During the past few weeks I have
received many requests that I permit
the use of my name for political office.
If I had made earlier reply to these re
quests I would have undoubtedly de
clined after due consideration. The
number and nature of these requests
have been such as to demand earnest
consideration on my part.
"I have thought of the matter from
every viewpoint and am finally unable
to find any compelling reason why I
should alter my original inclination. I
am grateful for the compliment con
veyed by these suggestions and am
gratified that they have been based
largely upon expressed approval of the
discharge of my present duties. I feel
that I am not entitled to any special
recognition for the performance of of
fice duties which, however have
been performed with equal fidel
ity by similar officials of this and the
other officials in Georgia.
I have therefore decided not to of
fer for any office."
J. R. Smith, Too.
J. R. Smith, who was also mention
ed as a probable candidate for the
unexpired term qf the late Senator
Bacon, in United States senate, de
clared Saturday night", that he was
not a candidate. He said that the
mention oT his name in that connec
tion was unauthorized. He said that
he might have something to give out
later on, in the campaign reply to
statement of Governor Slaton: "That
he stood on his twenty years’ rec
ord.”

Detroit, Mich.—Cobb was released
late tonight. No formal charge was
made against him, but friends of the
ball player said they understood that
court proceedings might be insti
tuted.
Cobb late tonight declared Carpen

began their argument.
“I have a permit to carry a revol

means to protect myself,” said the
outfielder. “Our little affair was
practically over when Harding hut

and I was so angry I gave him what
he was looking for.”
It became known tonight that Cobb
has been permitted to carry a weapon
for some time. Threatening letters

himself, he said.

OPPOSITION TO
WILSOIES MEN
Senate Banking and Currency
Committee Searching Records
of Reserve Board Nominees.
Washington.—Reports of opposition
among members of the senate banking
and currency committee, to some of
President Wilson's nominations for the
federal reserve board today, resulted
in members of that committee receiv
ing copies of a letter from the Presi
dent to Chairman Owens, particularly
commending Thomas D. Jones, of Chi
cago. one of the nominees. In this let
ter the President declares he has been
associated with Mr. Jones for fifteen
years, and says Mr. Jones has won a
place of esteem that is "enviable, in
deed.” One of the criticisms leveled
at the Chicagoan, is the fact that he is
a director of the “harvester trust” now
being sued under the Sherman anti
trut law by the department of justice.
The President explains that Mr. Jones
owns but one share of Harvester stock
and that he becomes a director to
thwart the acts which led w> that suit.
In conclusion the President said:
“He is the one man of the whole
number who was, in a peculiar sense,
my personal choice.”
Mr. Jones was the only one of the
five menmentioned to receive the writ
ten commendation of the President. In
formation concerning the other nomi
nees, in the possession of the Secre
tary of the Treasurer McAdoo, reached
the committee today. The President’s
letter and the data furnished by the
treasury, will be used in reaching con
clusions, but it is possible that other
information will he secured by mem
bers who are giving particular atten
tion to these nominations.
