tlations with John LiLd is the belief
expressed BY high officials today, bas-
ed on Huertas note as partially re-
ceiyed
Another instaIlment Of the note was
received today. Because Of its length

The president arranged fdr a con
ference with Senator Bacon following
the receipt OF another installment OF

alleged decrease in disturbances in the
south Huerta claims the condition is
more peaceful than at any time since
