NOTE, NOTE, WHO’S GOT THE NOTE? U. S. ASKS

Mexican Foreign Office Attache Arrives at Capital Without Document He is Supposed to Have. Washington, May 29—State department officials were somewhat mystified today over the failure of the new note from Gen. Carranza to reach the department of the Mexican embassy. The department’s advices indicated that it was to be expected yesterday. Manuel Mendez, the foreign office attache from Mexico who was supposed to be acting as special messenger," arrived here today but declared he had no knowledge of the note, and merely had come to Washington on a vacation. Eliseo Arredondo, the Mexican ambassador designate, with whom Mendez conferred, said that none of his messages from the foreign office contained any mention of a new note.
