Washington, Oct. 19 - Formal re-
cognition by the United States of the
de facto Mexican government with
Carranza as the chief executive was

pleted the action. Similar letters were
received by Arredondo from the
other Pan-American conference. The
Lansing letter was sent by a messen-
ger. Later Arredondo was invited

ence with the secretary on Mexican
affairs. Arredondo tomorrow starts
for Saltillo, Mexico, to meet Carran-
za and present him with letters and
notes of recognition. Although no
final decision was reached as to the
