CARRANZA LIKELY TO BLOCK PARLEY

Constitutionalist Leader Expected to Refuse to Join Conference For Peace Parley. Representatives of General Carranza, chief of the Constitutionalists of Mexico, say that he will probably refuse to accept the plans for peace offered by the Pan-American conference. Last summer, it may be recalled, a conference of the leaders wast held at the suggestion of President Wilson, in Niaga Falls. Carranza then took the position thait Merico could solve its own problems and that he would take care of the interests he supported and would oppose intervention. He is expected to reply to the message of last week that he has already established peace in a great part of Mexico and that the success of his arms is only a question of time and he will insist that he be let alone. From other quarters it is suggested thait Carranza may consent to join in a conference if it is htld in the City of Mexico.
