ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., Oct. 23.—-
Huis Cabrera, head of th© Mexican
peace delegation, has been delegated
by First Cniet Carranza to negotiate
a $100,000,000 Mexican loan in this
country, it was learned Monday night.
The first chief is said to believe
that the comitssion will formulate
pome plan for the settiement of the
border wrangle soon after Nov 7, and
that shortly afterward an agreement
will be reached regarding Mexico’s
taxation of Alerican properties south
of the kio Grande. Following thia
step, according to information re-
ceived here by the American members
of the peace conference, Carranza ex-
pects to float his loan.
Tae report from Mexico City that
Cabrera is to become Mexican am-
bassador to the United States was
stamped as alse by Cabrera's closest
friends. These stories, they said, have
been prompted by the fact that
Cabrera has been picked for Mexico's
financial agent in this country after
the adjournment of the conference.
Cabrera has gone to New York
during each week-end recess of the
commission, it was learned. In order
to confer with New York bankers and ;
financiers interested in Mexico. While
in New York he has also conulted ।
with Alfredo Caturegli, Mexico's fiscal 1
agent.                                         «
Among the bankers whom Cabrera's i
agents have consulted are Kuhn. Loeb 1
