ANTI-AMER,cAN RIOTS
 CONTINUE IN MEXICO
Americans Leaving for the Border in
 Constantly Increasing Numbers.

Washington, June 9.-Anti- American demonstrations in northern Mexico continue, according to official advices today, particularly in the states of Chihuahua San Luis Potosf and Nue- vo Leon and although the manifesto tions thus far have been confined mostly to speech making, consular agents have reported that the temper of the people appears such that any eventuality might be possible.
 Americans are leaving for the bor- der in steadily increasing numbers. Under previous instructions, state de- partment agents in Mexico are giving every possible aid. In addition bor- der agents have been instructed to urge those seeking to return to Mexi- co to stay on the American side for the present.
 Officials here showed considerable uneasiness over the situation. While no overt act is anticipated in any re- zion under the we'll established con- troI of Carranza troops, there appears to be areas where the de facto gov ernment hold over the people is not strong.
 A mass meeting held at SaltiIlo last ing the presence of American troops in Mexico were made. Similar meet ings have been held or are contem- plated at other points. The only vio- lence against Americans was report ed at Chihuahua City and Monterey where theye are no consular agents.

ROOSEVELT IS DIRECTING
 PROGRESSIVE CONVENTION
Through His Lieutenants Over the
 Long Distance TeIephone.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, June 9.-Immedi- ately after the adjournment of the re- publican convention tonight, Colonel Roosevelt assumed personal direction of the progressive convention through his lieutenants over the long distance telephone He expected to be up most of the night making plans for tomor- row.
 Colonel Roosevelt was kept in close touch with the balIoting in Chicago by progressive leaders over the tele- phone and by newspaper correspond ents at Oyster Bay. He appeared well pleased with the result of the second ballot, which left HueGaes far short of enough delegates to win the nomina- ton.
 Colonel Roosevelt feels that the Hughes adherents will not be able to gain further strength on succeeding ballots, and he seemed to attach sig nilcance to the fact that it was Sena. tor Penrose who moved for an ad- tournament.
 Colonel Roosevelt believes the max imum Hughes strength was reached on the second ballot and that his own chances of getting the nomination were thereby increased.

once the convention was assured that the last hope of peace with the re- publicans was gone and MT. Roose- velts nomination at the Coliseum could not be accomplished.
 Adjourned at e.5a.
 After three sessions that ran through the gamut of emotions from hysteria for MT. Roosevelt to a calm dispassionate discussion of blanks in the platform, the convention ad- journed at 9.5S tonight until 1O.3O to- morrow. It was only after repeated assurance from the leaders that Col onel Roosevelt himself desired that the nomination be postponed that the deI- egations swallowed their own convic- tlons that the nomination was the real and only business to be considered and consented to quit the hall for the night.
 Delegates Kept on Guard.
 All day the delegates kept on guard while the leaders watched or listened over the telephone, to detect any un- expected move on the part of the re- publlcans. As the ballots were taken in the Coliseum they waited and Iis- tened and kept their tempers They were told they must keep the faith g and allow two ballots to be taken by the republicans according to the agreement between the peace confer SOo dllu dppTONSQ Dy COlOHel ROOSe- welt himself. The approval of the col onel was a trump card held up the sleeves of the leaders, but never play ed, for when the Coliseum quit for the night the delegates, tired out with long sitting in the hot, sticky theatre, were willing to wait for nomination. TWenty-four hours more won't make any difference,' said Governor Hiram Johnson. The crowd agreed and accepted the motion to adjourn.
 Little Routine Business.
 There was little routine business during the day. The platform was ten i tatively agreed upon with only a few changes. A fight to insert a prohi- bltlon plank was beaten by vote of l 523 to S2 after the leaders had explain ed at length that to put it in meant that prohibition and not Americanism would then become the main issue of the coming campaign.
 For the rest the delegates just cheered and listened. Realizing that an outbreak might be averted only by keeping them in good humor, the lead CTS recognized man after man in the hall, called them to the platform and allowed them to play on the crowds | good nature and it's sense of humor
 Before adjournment the delegates two hZ1lots at the Coliseum. They took comfort from the vote for MT Roosevelt and the motion to end the session was unopposed.
 James R. Garfield of Ohio made the adjournment motion and the delegates | left the hall, just 12 hours after they 1 had entered 1t this morning.
