 The conferees met twice today, and Water Mir Arredondo telegraphed T report to his government. MT. Polk prepared similar report for Secre- tary of State Lansing, now on vaca- ,tion. and probably will talk the situa- tion over with President Wilson to- morrow.

 It is understood MT. Fletcher will go to his post iH Meixco City soon after Secretary Lansing returns from his vacation, about August l, provld- ing the favorable turn of events beyond the border continues. At the same time, MT. Arredondo will be formally received by President Will son as ambassador from the republic of Mexico, and full diplomatic rela- tions be restored.

PRO. CONVENTION RESEMBLES REAL,
 POLITICAL MEET
Sulzer and Hanly Forces Hurling Charges in Fight
 for Nomination.

St. Paul, Mnn., July 19.-The nomination of J. Frank Hanly of Indiana as the presidential candidate of the Prohibition party was confi- dently predicted tonight by friends of Hanly and ,,aders of the so-cal.ed organization forces in the Prohibition national convention following 'h5 unanimous reelection today of VtT- gil T. Hinshaw of Chicago to the chairmanshp of the national commit tee.
 When the convention adjourned to- night the officers met to arrange convention program. Howard Kersca- ner of Topeka, Kan, vas named per- manent secretary of the national committee.
 Applause punctuated the keynote address of Daniel A. Pulling of Boston,, temporary chairman, and was partic- ularly marked when he deplOrcd the European war, decried militarism, a'- tackled munitions manufacturers and eXulted at the progress of the pr 'hi- bition and suffrage movements,
 Virgil G. Hinshaw of Chicago, chairman of the national committee, called the convention to order at 10:20 a. m.
 Mrs. Frances E. Buchamp of Lex ington. Ky., secretary of the national committee, read the official call, and MT. Polling was introduced as tempor- ary chairman, immediately launching into his speech
 Charges Against Sulzer.
 An early morning Sulzer meeting at a downtown hotel was the signal for the unmasking of the batteries of the Sulzer and Hanly forces, and bitter debates took place in hotel Hobbies, in which the New Workers followers accused Hanly of trying to seize con- trol of the party, while some of Han ly's adherents accused Sulzer of ac- cepting the support of the liquor in- terests in his candidacy for the Pro- hibition nomination.
 These charges caused bitter quar- rels in frenzied crowd of partisans. Sulzer is expected to arrive not lat CT than tomorrow morning, and will throw himself into the fight to pre- vent Hanly's nomination. Sentiment Divided. The Lotus club, unofficially an or ganization of about 40 state leaders, held long secret conference late last night, in an effort to unite on a candidate for the presidency. Senti- ment was divided between Sulzer and Hanly, and a decision was postponed until tonight.
 Members of the Lotus club, most of whom are out of accord with the present administration of the party. expressed the belief today that MT. Chain, candidate of the party in 1908 and 1912, may be accepted as a compromise candidate.
 Dr. Ira D. Landrith of Nashville, Tenn, practically is conceded nomi- nation for vice president. and is ac- | ccptable to all factions.

 "You are interfering with our plans," the watchman said.
 To all appearances, the Deutsch- land was ready to leave at any time. All shore leave for the crew was stopped tonight.
 According 70 stories told by friends of some of the submarines men, the latter have expressed anxiety over the possibility of their falling victim to the allied cruisers reported to be awaiting the submersiblee off the capes, not from cannon but from dis abled engines. through being caught in nets which they believe will be set for them.

PRESENT COUNTY.
 STATE OFFICIALS
 GAIN TWO MONTHS
Terms of Those Elected in November to Begin
 January 1.

Little Rock, July 19.-Secretary of State Hodges and Attorney General Davis predict there will be no con- fusion in the time when the county officers to be elected November ', the first under the new consolidated election law, shall take their oaths the time, neither did the old law de- clare October 31 as the date upon which they should begin their terms of office. But that, through a long series of years, had become the es- tablished date, and the supreme court has held that it is properly so, since uniformity is to be desired.
 Thirty days is given after the cleo tion to certify the returns. This could make the last day as late as December 8. The attorney-general and secretary of state have decided that January 1 should be the uniform date, and all the commissions will be issued on that date. This will apply to all county and district officers, also all statutory state officers, including the commissioner of agriculture, the land commissioner and the superintendent of public instruction. All of these officers will therefore have two months longer terms of office than that for which they were elected.
 This will also mean that T. l.. Hand- ley, who was appointed sheriff of Garland county, will hold office until January 1, 1917, and that he will therefore have ample time to prevent the holding of a race meeting in Hot Springs, in accordance with the pledge made to the governor.
