HUERTA WANTS
TO COME INSiDE
American Lines And Is Sound
ing Washington As To How
He Will Be Received.
United Press Dispatch.
Vera Cruz, Mexico, June 9—
(By William Shepherd)—Presi
dent Huerta, his minister of
war Blanquet and the rest of
the cabinet are reconsidering the
advisability of coming here to
complete the mediation negotia
tions where information from
authentic sources may be secur
ed.
General Blanquet plans to
come first, accompanied by the
Brazillian minister for a con
ference with General Funsten
in charge of the American ar
my regarding the nature of
Huerta’s reception and whether
he would be welcomed within
the American lines. It is known
that the Brazillian minister has
been or will be asked by the dic
tator to sound Washington re
garding his entrance into the
American lines.
From a Mexican close to the
highest officials, I learned that
Huerta was now convinced that
it was unsafe for his family to
longer remain in the capital, but
he cannot devise a way to get
them out, as the rebels are pre
paring to wreck any trains upon
which they may attempt to
flee.

United Press Dispatch.
Chicago, 111., June 8. — The
vanguard of the ten thousand
delegates to the twelfth bien
nial convention of the General
Federation of Women’s Clubs,
arrived in Chicago today. Scores
of automobiles, many of them
driven by, local club women,
whisked the fair visitors away
from the various railway sta
tions to the six largest hotels in
the loop district, reserved for
the expected throng. From the
small hamlets to the largest cit
ies in the United States came
women to participate in what is
expected to be one of the most
momentous gatherings of femin
ine folk ever held in America
Not more than half of the
states’ delegations have arrived,
but they are coming by the train
loads.
Despite its importance as a
humanitarin document, the bi
ennial program is overshadowed
by the suffrage question with
the antis outnumbered.
The minority argue that suf
frage is politics and that the
Federation is a non-political or
ganizaton, but it is generally
predicted that a suffrage resolu
tion will win.

NAME ENVOYS
To Participate In Conference
And Even If He I>oes Not,
Peace Protocol Is Almost
Certain.
United Press Dispatch.
Washington, D. C., June 9.—
So encouraging did Secretary
Bryan consider the Mexican sit
uation today that he admitted
he expects General Carranza
will name commissioners to rep
| resent him at Niagara Falls and
that they will be received by the
mediators on Carranzas own
terms
| President Wilson, Secretary
Bryan and John Lind conferred
today- Lind left two bulky doc
uments with the president
I which are believed to have a di
; i ect bearing on the situation.
Secretary Bryan insisted that
no orders w^ere issued regarding j
the munition cargo of the An
tilla and it is believed that an J
immediate settlement of the en
tire trouble is in sight as soon
| as Carranza is actually included.
Secretary of War Garrison
reported to the cabinet the in
creased sickness of the army at
Vera Cruz and the cabinet is
hopeful that troops will soon re
turn to the United States.
The officials here profess to
know nothing of Huerta’s plan
for an asylum within the Amer
ican lines but it is stated that he
will be protected if he so re
quests.
Carranza’s reply will be for
warded to Niagara Falls from
the Constitutionalists’ head
i quarters here tonight.
! The Constitutionalist junta
here admit that General Carran
za has accepted the invitation
: to take part in the mediation
conference, but has practically
fixed his own terms and it is
unknown whether the reply will
satisfy the envoys.
It is stated that everything
is now ready for drafting of the
protocol. Secretary Bryan
said that the counter proposals
submitted by the United States
were not enough different to
present insurmountable obsta
cles and believes the Huerta
delegates will accept the
changes.
If accepted, it makes no dif
ference whether Carranza’s par
ticipation comes in time, as hjs
cause is said to be fully provid
ed for in provision made for ade
quate Constitutionalist repre
sentation in the new provisional
government.
