the second choice votes to determine
who is elected as circuit judge Of the
tenth judicial circuit. on the face of
the returns as reported by the three
counties. Polk, DcSoto and Lee, Judge
r. f. Brown OF Arcadia, is leading
in first choice votes over John S. Ed

votes Of Arcadia and Wauchula, the
largest voting precincts in this coun-

Washington, June 0.--Arbltration
Of differences between the United
States and Mexico through an inter
national commission. has become a
possibility.
Diplomats, particularly those Of
Central and South American republics,
were much interested in information
that administration officials are con.
sidering seriously proposing such a
course to General Ca,ranza. If they
definitely decide to suggest this. it
will be sent as the Urited States an.
swer to Carrauza's last note. Accept
ance would tpCn dlpnG on the de
facto government.
Under The treaty Of 1913 between
the United States and Mexico the
presidents Of the Two countries might
appoint an equal number Of customs
to whom woIi1 be submitted all the
veXatious questions arising out Of re.
lations between the two countries
during the past two years. Among
these might be:
Withdrawal OF American troops
from Mexico.
IndemniticatlOn for American lives
lost or pr oOetty damaged in Mexico
during recent ulrisirGs.
Customs revenues c, llected during
the American occupation of Vera Cruz
and now held IN TIE United States. re-
turned; and claims TO- property dam
age growing out Of the Vera Cruz
incident.
Long pending disputes regarding the
exact location of roriirns of the in
ternational boundary.
The commission pro baby would
meet in some South American coun'
try. Whether President Wilson had
reached hnll decision on the ques-
ton Of proposing arbitration to Gen
eral Carra1zl Is ret Known.
The treaty # 1873 provides that
should such coutse lie suggested by
either party i .hali be tCceded to by
the other, unless te:med altogether
incompatible with tho nature Of the
differences or he circumstances Of
tie case,
Interest ne 81 S-tsted plan here
was in the Lelief that it would tend
to better rsll:i3ns tetween Central
end South .tmr:tcah Republics.

CONFERENCE COMMITTEE OF The
REP UBLICAN and PROGRESSIVE
CONVENTIONS DISCUSS PEACE PLANSI

Chicago, June 0.-Thc conference
committee If ;hc republican and pro.
grcssiyc conventions began discussion
Of peace plans at 40 o'clock last
night, and Srnltor Eorah, one of the
republican conicrccs, predicted the
session would last at least three
hours. This was the situation as cpl
tonizcd 10y one Il the ccrfcrecs after
the conference lad bccn in session
little more than an hour:
The utmost harmony has reigned in
the meeting.
Republicans were Impressed with
the apparent desire Ct the progrcs.
Sivrs to effect IN agreement.
No name except thai Of Colonel
Roosevelt had been mentioned. Pro.
grcSsiyes, while showing a decided
preference for Colonel Roosevelt as
the nominee, did not say they would
rot support any other man.
The name ~ Hughes had not been
mentioned.
Encouraged 10y the happy opening
II the conference. it was said that
there was a possibility that the con,
fcrecs would remain in session most Of
the night. r until .hcy reached some
tangible agreement, or complete disa,
Grecment.
The confcrccs we're unanimous In
asserting the conference was entirely
harmonious.
Discussion cf candidates followed
two lines: The progressive talked on
ly about Colonel Roosevelt, the re-
publican conferaes the names OF va
rious favori.e sons. including Fair
banks, Burton, Root, Hughes and 9th
crs. but reached no unanimous decis
ion that they favored one # them
above the Others.
The entire range Of discussion, il
was said, never got be! end general
ties.
While both sides reported progress
the republicans appeared TO take {
more optimistic view Of the situation
than some II the prog rcssives, among
whom there WAS lar from a unanimi
~ of opinion that all agreement was
probable.
II was agreed that the cOnferee:
should report In their respective con
vcntions at the Friday session. Meth
or side was at all sure that the con
vcntion it represented could be con
trolled. 1t was understood that three
rulots would bc taken in the republi
can convention, and if without result
there should he a further conference
If, however, as might very
likely I've. either or both conventions
should make a nomination today al
further negotiations would be impos
sible.
Early in the evening there was
report that the progressive confereei
had offered the names Of Senator
Lodge. of Massachusetts, and Gener
ais Goethals and Leonard Wood al
acceptable to them, hut this proved e

1t was hoped that the delegates to
both the republican ana progressive
conventions would discuss the situa-
tion fully Umong themselves, and IL
no definite action was taken on either
side, in the meantime the committee
would he N better condition to un-
dcrStand and give expression to the
real sentiments OF the two conven-
lions.
The republican committeeman said
that during the meeting they were dis
tinctly encouraged by the evident de.
sire Of the pros-cssivcs for harmony.
At no time, it was said was there
II concerted or insistent demand from
the progrcssl>'s tina, the republicans

cussion. lie added that the reports

While Senator Borah and Mr.. Crane
said the conferces woulG probably re.
convene Friday afternoon. other mem.
bcrs OF the conference were by no
means sure that there would be an
ether meeting.
George W. Perkins, chairman of the
pr 'grcSSlvr committee. confirmed
this view and added that none of the
confcrees were quite free to talk.
The conference was held at the chi.
cago Club, to which the republican
confcrees preceded the progressives.

fcrred at Mr.. Perkins headquarters,
where the long distance wire to oyster

and then left for the club. Prior to
the calling Of the meeting, on an up

posed for ?h )tographs.
When the cor ference adjourned
senator Borah end Governor Johnson
came down In the elevator together,
