Division of the North Will
Recognize Carranza as the ;
Supreme Chief, Villa '
As Commander. '
HUERTA APPARENTLY IS 1
RENAMED PRESIDENT.
Some Believe He Will Sur.
render Government to Con- .
stitutionalists Through: , '
Pedro Lascurain. wi
fealtillo. July 5. (Via Laredo, July.
8.) The division of the north has
agreed to recognize General Carran- -za
as the supremo chief and General
Villa as commander of the north as!
the result of efforts ln Torreon by :
representatives of Carranza and Villa
according to news reaching: here.
Washington, July t. President
Wilson and members of his cabinet
were encouraged today by indications
of an early adjustment of tho differ
ences between constitutionalist lead
ers. Secretaries of the parley between
Generals Carranza and Villa, today,
thought the meeting , would end be
fore nightfall and with good results.
Tho possibility of the removal of such
a stumbling block caused officials and
some of t . constitutionalist agents
In Washington to believe General
Carranza would send agents) to con
fer with Huerta delegates over a pro- ',
visional government. Reports of tho
election in Mexico yesjerday In which
General Huerta was apparently nam
ed president, and General Blanquet
vice president, are earnestly awaited
here. Some thought that after Hu
erta had received al almost unani
mous "vote of confidence" such as .
he waa said to have received, , he
would retire ln favor of Pedro Las
curain who In turn woul'd surrender .
the government to a constitutionalist.
However; doubt that the-federal -die
tator would adope such w coarse was
expressed In many clrclea " f
Details of the election were not
readily forthcoming today, beyond
reports that re-election of all, mem-
bers of the senate-and chamber of
deputies was Indicated and that the
vote In the capital and nearby towns
waa the lightest of all recent ballot
ing. . . ; i
When President Wilson was asked
to comment on yesterday's election
In Mexico, he laughed and said: -
"I hardly think any comment from
me Is necessary." '
When asked If he knew of any of
General Huerta's plans for leaving
Mexico, he smiled again and said: .
"I am afraid I am not ln his con
fidence." The president refused to discuss
mediation, declaring the mediators
were in recess for the present in tho
hope that warring factions would get
together. j
Constitutionalist agents hero would
not comment on the election further
than to say that It had no bearing on
the case. It was Intimated, however,
that Huerta might be planning to ap
point a secretary of foreign affairs tr
succeed him and then retire. Joso '
Vascongelos, one of the constitutional
ist Junta here, will leave tonight for
Saltlllo, to report to General Carranz
on mediation, the attitude of tho
United States and plans for the re
sumption of business ln northern Mex
ico. He would not discuss his return
to Saltlllo, further than to say ho
would make a full report to General
Carranza on Mexican affairs as viewed
by the United Statea
