ABC MEDIATORS
ASK PRESIDENT
TO AID MEXICO
Would Have United States Use Influ

bajal Ready to Quit.
WASHINGTON, July 22. Amban
sndor Da flmnn or Hrnr.ll nnd Min
isters Hunn-7. of Chile rind Noon of
Argentina, (he three mediators in the
Mexican' affair .appealed lo Presi
dent Wilsotftoday to have the United
States use its irifluence with General
Cnmin7..i to ,bt:iin a general nuir
nesly for those who supported llio
Hiiertn government.
It was (ho firJHt formal erill of Hie
three mediators since the conference
at Niagara Falls adjourned. They
were accompanied by Secretary
Hrynn and for nearly an hour dis
cussed the Mexican situation in all
its phases. They expressed the vicv
that Francisco Carhajal was read)
to turn over the government lo Gen
eral Crtrranzn, but wanted guarnn
tees that there would be no wholesale
execution", nrre..ts or confiscation of
property.
Forcible Ita-Jstaace
They told President Wilson that
Cnrbajal would not surrender uncon
ditionally and that unless these guar
antees for the protection of the lives
and property of Ihote who supported
Huerta were given, would concen
trate all the military forces and re
hi! to the utmost any effort to in
vade Mexico City.
The president nnd Mr. Hrynn lis
tened attentively to the views of the
South American diplomats, especially
ns they indicated that their govern
ments probably would be unable to
recognize any administration in Mex
ico which refused to give quarter to
its enemy or establish itself by
peaceful means in accord with civil
ized practice among nations.
After Iheir talk with the president,
Secretary Hrynn ami the three diplo
mats went to the stale department
for a conference.
V. S. Influence Sought
That the influence of the United
States was being relied on by Pro
visional President Cnrbajal to obtain
satisfactory terms from the consti
tutionalists was explained also by
Joseph Cnstellot, personal represen
tative of Carhajal. The mediators
conferred not only with Mr. Cnstellot,
but also with Kniiliu ltnbasn, head of
the delegation which represented Hu
erta at the Niiignra conference.
Mr. Cnstellot wns confident the
American government never would
permit nn arbitrary entry into Mex
ico City. Htvsnid the Cnrbajal gov
ernment wanted no share in Ihe fu
ture administration, no validation of
the acts of Huerta, but simply guar
antees for lives and property.
