Bismarck. N. D., Sept. 2.-Demo-
cratic committee held a preliminary
meeting this morning but. did nothing
aside from appointing committee on
resolutions consisting Of all the state
candidates and nine others. They are
to report at the meeting to be- held at
Q this afternoon. Nothing definite can
be learned yet as to the platform.
The republicans held no meeting this
forenoon. Frank Sprague early today
refused to consider the position as
chairman of the republican state, COM
mittee, but other delegations were sent
to him in the effort to have him re-
consider.

Mrs. Clara L. Darrow and Mrs. G. f..
Amidon, of Fargo are in Bismarck for
the purpose of endeayoring to get both
state central committees to insert a
plank in their platforms endorsing

coming to successful elimination as
{she secured but little encouragement
from party leaders of either denomina-
tion. said that while most, in fact
ALL with whom she talked were Sin

to think. the platform would contain

VERA CRUZ
PORT IS
CLOSED

Washington, Sept. 2.--state depart
ment officials who discussed General
Carranza,s action in closing the port Of
Vera Cruz, pointed out that his object
in all probability was to increase pres
ent customs revenues by diverting COM
merce to ports under Mexican control.
At Vera Cruz duties are collected by
American officials and after deduction
of the costs of administration. the
funds collected are impounded to be
paid to the Mexican government at a
later date.
Little embarrassment to the Amer
ican forces at Vera Cruz Is expected
be no interruption with shipping des-
tined exclusively to that port. although
coast wise traffic Is shut of.
Any falling off in Vera Cruz customs.
due to the new order, will be borne by
the Carranza government since the Gus
toms ultimately are to be turned over
to the Mexican government. A part OF
the Vera Cruz customs receipts are
pledged to redeem loan advanced to
General Huerta by French bankers.
There lis no indication that American
forces will be Withdrawn from Vera
Cruz in the near future.
To all inquiries Secretary Bryan re-
piled yesterday that neither this nor
ranza government as yet has been for
mally considered. No decrease in the
naval forces row in the gulf of Mexico
now Is contemplated and the plan to
have Rear Admiral Fletcher, who soon
will succeed Rear Admiral Badger as
commander in chief of the Atlantic
feet, take over the command In Hamp-
ton roads, has been abandoned.
The sale OF pulque, the national drink
OF Mexico, and all other intoxicants has
been forbidden In Mexico City because
of the recent clash between Constitu-
tionalist soldiers and the police, ac-
cording to advices received yesterday
by the state department. Perfect order
now prevails at the capital, the mess
age adds.
