HOLLIS NOT RECALLED.
Consul Has Been Told "to Be More
Discreet"

Washington, July lot is learned that
the announcement from Lorenzo Marquee
that Mr.. Hollis, the American Consul
there, has been recalled IS erroneous.
Mr.. Hollis has not been discreet, in the
judgment Of the department. in such
repression of his personal sympathies as be-
comes a United States official charged with
such delicate duties as have devolved upon
the Consul at Lorenzo Marquee.
1t is believed the department has been
obliged to remind him OF that fact, but il
has not recalled him. nor has It any pres
ent intention of doing so.
