CRISIS IS AT HAND The Conference May Possibly Come V To A Close To day. WASHINGTON, June 18. While administration officials said today they still had hopes for a successful outcome of the mediation at Niagara Falls they appearantly were more doubtful than they have .been at any time since the conference began. Officials close to the President feel that Senor Nabasa's published note of yesterday disclosed anew that the Mexican delegates are presistently hold ing our for a Huerta adherent for the provisional presidency, despite the fact that many such men have been men tioned as "neutrals." President Wilson is equally deter mined in his view that unless a man approved by the Constitutionalists is chosen the new provisional govern ment will be in trouble from the out set. White House officials said that when the reply of the A'merican dele gates to Senor Nabasa's note was pub lished it would be a sufficient expla nation of the attitude of the United States. May Close. NIAGANA FALLS, June 18. When formal conferences are resumed Friday on the return of Minister Naon of Argentine, it will be definitely deter mined whether in view of past dis agreements the conferences should be prolonged for indefinite consideration jf names offered by the two sets of delegates or whether there is a chance of an agreement if the mediators should submit some names they have in reserve, The Mexican delegation refuted the suggestion made in some quarters that the issuance of their statement was i defense which anticipated the failure A the negotiations. They said they honestly felt an expression of their opinion might be publicly approved and thus influence ' the American government. , HARVESTING DAY AND NIGHT First Prosperity of This Kind in the : Entire History of the Nation.
