Hope that the coming conference between General Obrcgon, representing Mexico, and Gen erals Scott and Funston. representing the United States, will end all talk of intervention in Mexico was the feeling prevalent among Mexican officials In Juarez and El Paso tonight. None would venture the belief that this would be the" outcome of the meet ing. However, one official who has been in constant touch with the border situation anet has held many confer ences with American Army officials here went so far as to say; "It is obvious that the de facto gov ernment does not wish intervention and it is well known it hopes that the American troops will be withdrawn from Mexican soil. The mere fact that it is taking part in a conference with representatives of the American Gov ernment surely indicates that its hope can be realized." Interventionists, who are numerous in El Paso, are not so cautious in dis cussing the results that will come from the conference. They openly express the opinion that the outcome will be a settlement which will obviate, for the time, being at least, any chance for a break between the two governments. Theso point to the statement of Sec retary Baker at Washington that the instruct ions issued to General Sc:ott and General Funston are to "discuss a basis for the most cordial and complete co-operation between the American and Mexican forces in the attainment ol their common object."

Final effort to avert a strike in the anthracite fields will be made by the joint sub-committee of miners and operators as the re sult of a decision reached today at a conference here bet ween representa tives of both sides to the controversy.
