He once had been chosen by Huerta to be ambassador to the United States incase this government had recognized the Huerta regime. As the" announce. meat from General Huerta indicates that- a -third delegates is to be named represent-' him it is here that Joaquiq D.

Casasua or Manuel de Zamacona would be the-other representative. A general understanding after the state department conference was that the mediators had decided to limit their activities at this time to a settlement of the Tampico incident solely that the appointment of the Huera delegates was made on that basis. This would constitute the mediators as an international court of honor to decide on whether the United States was entitled to reparation for the "insult to the flag" at Tampico and what form that reparation should take. After that point, has been settled they would be confronted by the question of indemnity, which probably the United. States Cleveland Cabinet Is Wanted By President Wilson as Gov ernor of Currency Regime.

SOME QUESTION AS TO HIS ACCEPTANCE When Asked For Statement the Veteran Diplomat Refused to State His Position Paul Warburg Member of Board. Boston, May 4 Richard Olney admitted, when informed today that President Wilson had elect-ed him for governor of the Fed eral Reserve Board, but declined to comment on the announcement or indicate whether he would accept. Mr, Olney was influenced by his advanced yean as well as by his business Interests to decline the diplomatic office tendered him a year ago. Washington, May 4. President Wilson has selected Richard Olney, former secretary of state in the Cleveland administration, to be governor of the Federal Reserve Board and Paul Warburg of New York to be a member of the board.

Although the President had offered the governorship to Mr. Olney word of this acceptance was being awaited today. Friends here, however, were inclined to believe he would not decline. Mr. Olney was offered the ambassadorship to Great Britain by President Wilson early last year, but he expressed unwillingness to leave the country on account of his business interests, he being strongly urged by friends of the President to accept the governorship, which the President has spoken of as of equal importance to a plaee on the bench of the 3upreme Court of the United States.

Mr. 01-nev, though seventy-eight yers old, is active and has had a long experience in the business world and in finance. Th President and his advisers believe he would be especially adapted for head of the reserve board. Mr. Warburg, who -was connected with has been of- fcrfid membership on the board and has fScciipted.
