appointment of the commission made at

which had arisen in the party and without
mentioning names referred to Sehor Emilio
N,lnez. who was the choice of Gen. Max
imo Gomez, He said thai the commission
had reported that it's peace efforts had been
fruitless, nevertheless it would be safer
to wait awhile before taking the irrevocable
step and make nomination which might
cause great division in the party.
Against this view it was argued that
delay would be dangerous and a majority
must decide Senior Nunez says he is the
choice of Gen Maxine Gomez and cannot
take any position until he has talked tho
matter over with Gen Gomez. 1t is under
stood that as Gen. Gomez is supposed to
have entered the campaign and the party
with a view to having Nunez made the
party's candidate he might feel aggrieved
at the action of the convention.
