District Convention at Ell
Reno Breaks Up in a
Wild Row.
ENID MEETING GOES
SOLID FOR M'GRAW
Absurd Contests From
Tulsa and Other COun-
ties Are Filed.

Special to The World
CITY. Okla, March
" 2O--lnterest in the Republican
state convention was intensified to-
night by the result of the sixth district
congressional convention held today at
FL Reno. which broke up amid the
widest confusion after the Harris
supporters had trumped up IA contest
in stephens county against a solid in
structed delegation for McGraw. The
contest was pure fake. but it was
necessary in order that Harris could
make a showing of control There
was nine votes from Stephens county
instructed for McGraw and by throw
ing these out and seating a delegation
made up of Harris men the vote
stood Sc for McGraw to 81 for Har-
ris. With the regularly elected dele
cation the vote should have been 65
for McGraw and SO for Harris.
Elected Two SETS.
The convention broke up in a row
after a practically all day session
with both side electing delegates to
the national convention.
Harris headquarters gave out the
report that contests in the state con-
would be filed from Tulsa, and
many other counties instructed for
McGraw but the McGraw supporters
are confident that these contests will
be thrown out and that they will
have good working majority of from
500 to 700 when the state convention
meets Wednesday morning.
Pursuing the tactics of the Repub-
leans in southern states, Jim Harris
and his followers are instituting con-
csts in Creek. Tulsa, stephens and
seminole counties in the hope of fin

Washington Says De Facto
Troops Are CO-operat-

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The
w de factor government of Mexico

WAsHINGToN, March 2o.-The
w de factor government of Mexico
today proposed to the United States
the drafting of a protocol under
which American and Mexican troops
may cooperate in running to earth
Francisco Villa and his bandits with
out danger of misunderstanding or
conflict. The terms of such formal
convention would be designed to meet
all questions which may arise in the
future, setting forth the rights of the
American eXpeditiOnary forces now
in pursuit of the bandit chieftain and
the nature of the cooperation ex-
pected from the troops of the Car
rama government. These facts be-
came known today at the conclusion
of a conference between Eliseo Ar
redondo, Mexjcan ambassador desig-
nate, and Asting Secretary Polk of the
state department. Negotiations on
the details will be in progress several
days, but the two governments are IN
agreement on the general principals
involved.
Working Together.
Meanwhile, however, the troops OF
the de facto government actually are
cooperating with the American forces
and according to information re-
ceived by the war department. are
planning to render even greater as
sistance. High military officials al
lowed it to become known that the
Carranza government had promised
to move a large force of its troops
from central Mexico to the north,
forming a trap into which the Ameri-
can cavalrymen under General Persh-
ing may chase Villa and his followers.
1. w. W.'s Cause Trouble.
During the day disturbing reports
came to the war department from
General Funston regardging condi-
tions at Nogales, Sonora. There, an
official dispatch said, members of the
Industrial Workers of the World
were engaged in making incendiary
anarchistic speeches to stir the Mex
lean population to rash acts. The
speakers, according to the dispatches,
are believed to have crossed the bor-
der from the United States. The in
formation was turned over to the
state department, which will advise
the de facto government Of the condi-
tions in Nogales.
