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."

Neithor he nor Mr. Naon would ad mit that there had been a consultation with a Representative of the Con tutionalists.

"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 erar Villa and General Carranza. Uncle 8am Pat. .

CARRANZA CABINET MAY HEAL BREACH Should Rebel Chief Choose Villa Men, It is Expected to Ce ment Relations. (Hy Associated Press. I Eagle Pass, Tex.. June Ht.-Tlie Hauling of a cabinet by Hencral Car ranga now is eagerly awaited by con Btltiitlonsllstu us a possible means nf bealing the breach between Genera! Oarran/a and Hencral Villa, accord ing lo arrivals here who left Saltillo and Monterey yesterday. There was a general impression nt those points, according to the travelers, that Gen eral Carranza would name iii;; official family wllhin two or titree days. Should thc men designated be satis factory to the Villa faction and should they consent to serve, lt was express ed by those conversant with thc situa tion that the differences between the (list chief and his chief general might be permanently healed. A hurried call, it was said, had been sent out from Carranza headquarters for representative men conversant .\ith constititionnliat politics io pro ceed to Saltillo io confer with bim concerning the cabinet choices. It Ia well known, according to border ar rivals, that considerable opposition lias risen on the part of Villa and his friends to certain men close to Car ranza. That. General Felipe Angeles will bo a member of the cabinet if he will accept, secmi certain, according to reports reaching the border. It ia said that it would be agreeable to Villa were the Niagara njodiutors to select General Angelos as provisional presi dent, although the plan cf Guadalupe, on which the constitutionalist program ls supposed to be based, provides that the ttrst chief of the constitutionalist army shall become provisional presi dent.

The report said also that the constitutionalists in Saltillo, Monterey and Tampico, were greatly alarmed because the Federals oro approaching and the constitution alists had no ammunition.

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. v Carnegie Lands Wilsen.

He made this assertion during his discussion or the charge of being a "coat tail swinger." ho Bays has ben brought against bim. Mr. Richards did not state lor whom of the four candidat es now in the race for United States senate he would vote. 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 lumbia, believing that the.counties could better care for them. He was presented with a bunch of flowers by Miss Unit a Rittenberg, the first giv en a candidate. Effort is being made by candidates for governor to reach a compromise with the other aspir ants whereby they can open the meet ings.

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 one man itv responsible for', the ad vanced ^ricaMtf-^^6?^?|i-^?i?^bt that by keeping Senator! Smith in Washington cotton"wdu?"d'"'go' to: 20 cents a pound, then I'd withdraw from the race and do all tf'at 1" could to re-elect him. if Senator Sm lt ii so con trols the market, why back in 1911 did he advise you to hold your cotton for 15 cents when you were getting ll and 12 cents? Some ot you held.and took 8 cents in consequence. What was he doing then? If he's respon sible for the price of cotton, who's responsible for the increased cost of mules, of shoes and clothing, and other commodities?" Costly Fat Again. Air. Pollock, too, refrained from slashing the senator for what he had done in Washington, but thia speaker did lay some purt of the high cost of living at the junior senator's door by reminding the voters of Dorchester us he did the Orangemen yesterday that lt hud cost the government SI,OOO u pound to ratten up Senator. Smith. The burden of the Cheraw man's speech was: "You don't want any man elected to the United States senate through the instrumentality of federal ap pola i m en ts. Neither do you want to elect a man through the instrumen tality of appointments made in South Carolina, or through the potency of a political mac hine. You don't want to select a man who is 'out of Joint' with your national party. You don't want to send there a man who can't work in .loable harness. On the other hand, you do need a man who has the sym pathy and support of. his leader and colleagues, if he is to be of any direct benefit to the state he represents-" Primary Supported. I.. D. Jennings made the only ag gressive speech of the day, but there was little of the caustic acrimony in this. Thc mayor ot Sumter vigorously defended the new primary regulatloos as embodied la the recnt law, which "I helped to frame." And thia was not done to cheat the poor man out of his vote, or as the governor asserts "a piece of trickery to fool my friends." ' "You have to go to,the polls to vote, then why would you object to sparing the time lt will take to register? All you have to do is to go there and reg? ister once, and you ara Qualified for voting the balance of your life. When you are dead, you ought to stop. That's just why the rules were passed. Be fore the changes werev made a aia h o ne Pt man might go to the graveyard and take the name of John Smith, who was killed in the Battle bf Man asaos in isui. and vote some other dishonest mun under the name. The law, my friends, was not to cheat the poor man. out of Iiis vote, but to protect the bal lots ot the honest voters, when they, had been polled." During the last few minutes ot bia speech. Mr. Jennings cut trenches in the governor's pardon record, and re gretted that he had So brief a time to discuss that which it had taken the governor four years to make. "Don't bo deceived by petitions. Why at tels stage in South Carolina you could gat; (Continued on page 5 )
