{By Associated rress.)
Warhlngtou,. June 19.-Hope I hal
the wavering, ?'ivdiutlon program still
ljil?ht bring peace to Mexico, was ex
pressed bete late today by Argentlm
Minister Naon un ho took the train
loi Niagaia Falls, ufter a series ol
eonferencos with President Wilson
and Secretary lilyan, and LUIE Ca
brera, of the Washington agency ol
the Constitutionalists.
Neither Mr. Noon or any of those
with whom ho -hud conferred would
pay whether a new plan had been de
vised to break tho seeming deadlock
at Niugara Fail.i. In otiiclal quarters,
however, lt was made known that
there had been no change in the po
sition of tho I'nJtcd Statcv thal only
u Constitutionalist could bo accepted
to head tho provisional government
in Mexico City;
Mi. Naon arrived hore early today
from New Kn gi a rn!, where be hail
gone to receive an honorary ttniveisi
ty degreo. He first consulted with
tile secretary of state, and tjien con
fer? id lor two hours. Later In the
cwulng the ArgenUnc minister re
turned to his legation and there met
Cabrera, with whom he talked for
two hour.. Mr. Cabrera sought to
conceal hir. visit to the Argentine
legation, and lalor denied that be had
been Ibero. Just, af ter ho left Sec
retary Bryan < arrived and touk thc
minister tb the White House.
Following the couiercnc.e with thc
president. Minister Naon said there
still was encouragement for m?di
at lon and S ec rut ur y Bryan reiterated
tv?nl n - h iv. -d.oUu? ut lon -that mediation
was .ptogj??sUUL^saUsfactortly; : No
omhiki^s^
dent.
When Mri Naon ?cft bis first confer
ence with Mr. Bryan, he waa usked di
rectly if there wus still hope for me
diation.
"I always took toward the light,"
he said.
"What if the light ts put out," was
suggested.
"I never could grope In the dark,"
was the reply. _
Nothing to Say
When tho Secretary ot State and
Mr. Nairn left - the. Whito House after
10 o'clock they were besieged by the
newspaper men. Mr. Bryan, with a
salute to the correspondents, said to
the Argentine minister:
"Here are the newspaper men."
"Ycr." said Mr. Naon. responding
to the introduction, "but there is
nothing I can say."
"All that can bo said," Mr. Bryan
UK:-'jrtcd. "ls that mediation is ?pro
gressing satisfactorily."
Neithor he nor Mr. Naon would ad
mit that there had been a consultation
with a Representative of the Con
tutionalists. Whon a representativo
of the Associated Press had seen Mr.
Cabrera enter the Argentine legation,
asked tho lutter about his visit, Mr.
Cahrora expressed amazement.
- "But. do you deny that you were
there?" was asked.
"Certainlyldeny.lt."
"But you- woro, seen whon you drove
up In a victoria:"
"But can'! not insist that I was not
there?" Mr. 'Cabrera replied.
At tills june turo he. was joined by
Rafael Ziilmran; chief of the Consti
tutionalist i opfe'senta. ives in Wash
ington. Tho latter also declared
ington. Tho latter also declined to
discuss the relations.
It ..w?r learned later that ono of Mr.
Naon's visits : was lo induce the Con
nu tutlonalint. leader to waive .consid
eration of Mexican internal affairs by
the mediation conference. He is said
to have suggested that If the Consti
tutionalists would agree to provision
al government, tho. mediatory powers
and the United States would aid in
settling the Internal conflict. It was
not dented that the personnel of the
proposed provisional government was
discussed.
Mr. Naon would not admit that he
had rdughl to have the United States
- tna'to some .sort of compromise in
view of the differences between Gen

Btltiitlonsllstu us a possible means nf
bealing the breach between Genera!

Should thc men designated be satis

they consent to serve, lt was express

New London. Conn., June lil.-Hy a
margin of four inches. Yale won the
'varsity four mile eight oared race on
the Thames river here late today, after
a struggle thal will si and out in row
ing history when thc competing oars
men ure. forgotten.
Through a four mile lane of yachts
and motorboats, the 16 crow men tolled
al the Crimson and Blue tripped oars
as no gulley slaves ever labored un
der the lash, while thousands of spec
tators on shore and on observation
trains shrieked hysterically.
When the kniie-like prows of the
racing shells had cut past the lina] line
of flags, few of the thousands knew
whether victory had perched on the
bow of the Yale or the Harvard racing
craft.
On board the Judge's boat at the
finish lin? ::ould be seen tho arbiters
of the race gesticulating in confer
ence while iirnt a blue flag and then a
crimson one was waved at the end of !
a lohg pole. On thc observation train?
the clans of Harvard and Yale .'heered
by turn. Slowly the Harvard colors
began to sink ns the judges finally re
sorted to the megaphone and screamed
across tho water that Yale had won its
tflrst varsity rnce in seven years by
less than a foot, in 21 minutes Itt sec
onds, with Harvard crossing the line
ono fifth of a second later.
The victors and vanquished saw or
heard.- little pf. the celebration. Drtft
r?g?.slowly' upstream"; '#it,h*,?Ti? t'fdfe,'
went the two shells side by side. Too
exhausted to hold themselves upright,
MIOFO who had tho strength aud wits
to do it splashed water on their ex
hausted crew mates.
Never in the hiBtory of intercol
legiate rowing has there been a great
er exhibition of bull dog determination
on the part of lt? oarsmen-seated In
rival shells. They rowed side by side
with Yale always setting the pace.
Never once was there open water be
tween the shells. The Bl:ie held the
advantage by from a. quarter to three
quarters of a shell at every half mile
flag except those marking the three
and one hair miles station. Herc the
Crimson crew made Its bid for victory
and for u few hundred yards lcd by
several feet. The Elis soon regained
the lead however which they .never
relinquished.
Many Harv?rd adherents left the
shores and trains, confident Harvard
had won. There was no question, how
ever. Ss lo the Yale victory. The three
c:flclals differed ns to the inches, but
officially decided that Yale had cross
ed the line about four inches ahead.
Carranza Was Renounced
As First Chief of Rebels
(By Associated Press)
Laredo, Tex., June ID.-Fifteen gen
orals of the constitutionalist army,
commanding a combined force esti
mated at 30,000 men, renounced Gen -
oral Carranza aa "first chief" of the
constitutionalists movement tn a note
sent to his headquarters at the time
General Villa resigned. Villa, how
ever, did not sign the communication.
This and other details, suppressed
by a rigid censorship at Saltillo, be
came known at the border today, with
the arrival of travelers from Saltillo
and Monterey.
.The communication, lt was authori
tatively said, informed the man who
has been the leader of the constitu
tionalist movement since UL inception
that the generals would continue to
fight against Huerta, but would hold
themselves subject only to General
Villa's orders and would not recognize
Carranza.
Before the travelers left Saltillo, the
breach had not been healed by the
compromise since announced and lead
rs In the constitutionalist movement,
\ fearing disintegration or the . force
which they had built up, had sum
moned 'every available' man of Influ
ence to bring the factions together.
Some doubt of the affect of the dis
cession on the course of tho constitu
tionalist movement waa ? expressed by
men who are closely in touch with
revolutionary affairs in northern Mex
ico, even though the breach appar
ently ls healed, and both sides bave
agreed to continue against a common
enemy.
The plan af Guadalupe,, on which
the constitutionalists campaigns have
been based, provides that the first
chief of the constitutionalist army
should remain at the head of the
movement as provisional president af
ter Huerta-had been eliminated until
an election had been held and the re
suit voiced.
Hitherto Carranza has been midis
puted chief. What effect on the future
of the movement thc fact that thc
commanding* officers ot the largest and
most powerful single unit of that army
denied him that title and authority
will have, cannot yet be learaed, ac
cording to the travelers. Thoy said
Carranza forces apparently planned
to go ahead as though the incident had
never happened.
Pablo Gonzales, it is said, .will at
tack San Luis Potosi at once while
Villa lt taking Zacatecas and then
move southward, according to thc ori
ginal plan with Villa advancing from
tho center and Obregon from the west.

ial honors, when John G. Richards,
candidate for Governor, stated here to
day without qualification that he
would not vote for United States Sen
ator Smith for re-election. He made
this assertion during his discussion or
the charge of being a "coat tail

During a mild attack upon the rec
ord of Adjutant General W, W. Moore,
Captain M. C. Willis, candidate for Ad
jutant General, charged the State
militia is disintegrating under
Moore's administration.
Thc candidates today principally
devoted their time to discussing thu
necessity for developing the common
schools system, urged more rigid en
forcement of tlie statutes, denounced
"blind tigers" and race track gambling
and commented on prohibition and
compulsory education.
Marked lack of interest was shown
by the three hundred Berkley county
voters present at tho gathering here.
Three candidates for governor, abd
two others were absent.
Mendel I. Smith, gubernut ional as
pirant, regretted the establishment of
the confederate veterans honte at Co

could better care for them. He was
presented with a bunch of flowers by
Miss Unit a Rittenberg, the first giv

by candidates for governor to reach
a compromise with the other aspir

It is probable that the candidates

The boime hill would give the com

GOVERNOR STATES THAT HE
WILL SEEK ONLY TO /
HOLD HIS OWN
LESS MUD THROWN
Aggressive Speech of Day Was
By Candidate L. D. Jennings
at St. George
Special Correspondence.
St. Oeorge, June 19.-Campaign
meetings In Orangeburg and DorcheB
tcr counties stand out in bold and
striking contrast. Yesterday in
Orangeburg sixty per cont of all for
enslc thunder might have be?u proper
ly labelled " anathema." .'Billingsgate
invective." and crushing ridiculo and
abuse. Today there was an abrupt
?'bange in tactics.
During the night all arms had been
slat ked and horus drawn in.
In the future the governor will only
seel, "to hold Hie majority he ah ead y
has" and not attempt to decoy the
friends of the other candidates. In
explanation he said: "I mako no
charges, but if I were to prove con
clusively the most dcsreputable thing
against Senator Smith, there .ire peo
ple in this audience who wou'd vote
far him anyway. They ure prejudiced.
They are not even open to reason.
Therefore. I'll seek to hold the ma
jority which I have already."
Newspaper reporters, too, are not
to bo vilified from platforms' in the
event they misquote him, or' not fully
quote him. but ure to be reminded In
private, and asked to correct the state
ments in the next dispatches.
Tho governor was not bitter today
in bin attacks ou Senator Smith's'r?
cord. Thu worst the senator got, was :
"I don't believe there ls a single
voter iu this audience with little
enough uenso to believe . that
