Obregon before a fornal answer was prepared. On his return to the embassy Mr. Arredondo round a message announcing that len. Obregon would go to the border. Details of the meeting were left to Sen. Scott by administration officials. \t the Mexican embassy, however, it was said theie was reason to believe Dbregon had already left Mexico City. As (Jen. Obregon is a cabinet officer it was assumed at the embassy he would suggest that Gen. Scott call on hint in Juarez in accordance with diplomatic custom, although the succeeding meeting, it was said, probably would take place in El Paso because of better accomodations. The meeting was sugested first after Gen. Scott had started to the bor tier on his mission which resulted in the authorization for the redisposition of the American troops in Mexico. The plnn was favored by both war and state department officials and Special Agent Rodgers was asked to present It to Gen. Carranza. Recause of the latter's alleged jealousy of his war minister some officers doubted that the conference could be arranged. The subject apparently provoked considerable discussion in Mexico City before it was decided. TilK SOI'TH ATLANTIC STATUS (Continued from Tape 1) der those of January and February.
