Mediation likely to fail as talks with Mexican constitutionalists end
American delegates Justice Lamar and Frederick Lehmann met with Gen Carranza representatives Rafael Zubaran and Luis Cabrara in Buffalo after four hours of talks in hopes of armistice. The constitutionalist side explained why they would not accept an armistice and insisted on a president from their ranks. They predicted the constitutionalist army would resolve the Mexican issue soon if not hindered by foreign meddling. Americans returned to Niagara Falls believing mediation made no progress.
