They will operate in the central and northern part of the state. At the same time, the consul said, there will be a general movement of troops toward the north ern part of Sonora. Several cavalry columns. at least four or five, will patrol the state.
 The consul said that there was no connection between the order for reg istratien and the troop movement. After investigation at Naco, Julio Carranza a customs clerk, said to be a relative of Venustiano Carranza, de facto president of Mexico. and Rami EnriqueZ. a customs guard, were

Department Advices Indi- cated That Latest Com munication from Mexican de Facto President Should Have Arrived Sunday
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, May 2s.-State de- partment officials were somewhat mystified today over the failure of the new note from General CarranZa to reach the department or the Mexi- can embassy. The departments ad- vices indicated that it was to be ex- pected yesterday.
 Manuel Mendez, the foreign office attache from Mexico who was sup posed to be acting as special mes senger, arrived here today but de- clared he had no knowledge of the note whatever and merely had come to Washington on a vacation. Eliseo Arredondo, the Mexican ambassador designate with whom MendeZ con- ferred said that none of his messages from the foreign office contained any mention Of any note.
 Word that a note was coming and that it probably would renew the sug- gesticn that American troops be with drawn from Mexico, reached the de- Dartment last week. Later dispatches from Mexico City said the CarranZa government was taking precautions to guard any premature publication of the note and nothing concerning it's contents would be revealed until it had been presented in Washington. De facto government officials were quot ed as saying they expected it to be handed to Secretary Lansing today. MT. Arredondo made no appoint ! ment at the state department today and as tomorrow is a legal holiday, | it is certain that the note will not be presented until Wednesday should it arrive tonight or tomorrow.
 1 The protest of the oil operators in | the Tampico region against decrees of the defacto government affecting their work is still awaiting eonsidera- ton at the state department It was freceived at the White House and sent to Secretary Lansing. The seizure of several American owned tank cars has been the only disquieting incident in lthat section officially reported. A protest will be made.

To Recruit Militia

SAN ANTONIO, Texas. May 29- Authority was obtained from the war department today to recruit those units of the Texas militia now in the federal service to war strength. Re- towns where the various companies were organized and there the people will be given the first opportunity to enroll those lacking to bring each company to 150 men. It is expected the plan will add to the forces along the border approximately 1,50O men.
 Only one squadron of cavalry and battery of artillery remained at the militia camp here today. The third regiment the last of the militia in- fantry left here today for stations along the border in the Brownsville district. The cavalry will be sent forward this week.
 Reports from General Pershing in- dicated no developments other than a continued movement into the north of Mexican troops. Most of the infor- nation that has reached department headquarters relative to the massing of defacto government troops in the north has been of a contradictory na- t,rre, but from the mass General Fun ston and his staff have separated l enough that appears reliable to indi- | cate that at least 10000 Mexicans | have been concentrated in and about

 Replying to yours of even date, it is my opinion that the best in terests of the United States will be conserved by the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for the office of president but 1 think he should be nominated by the republican party Anything that I can do to bring about this end I shall gladly do.

Arizona republican., 1916-05-30

During the past week an organiza- tion has been effected in nearly forty states among regular republicans to secure the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt on the republican ticket. In Arizona a thoroughly representative republican committee has agreed to serve on this national organization of republicans working for Roosevelt, and headquarters of this Republican, Roosevelt committee have been estab- lished in Chicago.
 Hon. J. Lorenzo Hubbell has been selected to act as executive member of this republican, Roosevelt commit tee from Arizona, and a telegram from MT. Hubbell announces that he would leave yesterday for Chicago for conference with republicans from the other states and to work with these other republicans for Roose- velt's nomination in the Republican convention.
 The head of this national organiza tion of republicans is Geo. V. l.. Meyer, formerly secretary of the navy, and the latest dispatches from New York indicate that regular old-line republicans from all portions of the country are rallying to this Roosevelt movement.
 Of AriZona's six delegates from this state to the republican convention two are now definitely announced for Roosevelt, and there is every proba- bility that on the first ballot there will be at least three votes for Roose- welt from Arizona, the balance for 1 Hughes

CHICAGO, May 29.-Rival confer ences to be held here June and by the National Woman Suffrage and Congressional Union for Woman Suf- frage have created a stir in the suf- frage situation
 That the conferences will cause some confusion is felt certain by the congressional union people and they fear that two conventions will not. be the best thing for the movement. Some believe the calling of the sec Ond convention is a deliberate blow at the woman party convention and that it will take the form of an expression of disapproval of the policies of the union.
 A letter from Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National asso- citation. disclosed the new program somewhat prematurely, it is hinted. Mrs Catt's call was for meetings here on June 6 and ', in addition to the big suffrage parade on June '.

 WAUKEGAN. Ill., May 29.-All the efforts of both the prosecution ana de- fense to complete the jury for the trial of Will H. Orpet, university student for the murder of Marion Lambert, failed today. When court adjourned after the examination of siXty-one veniremen there were still but eight jurors in the box. It is expected that the jury will be completed before the end of the week.
 Efforts of James H. Wilkerson, at torney for Orpet, to clear up recent facts with respect to mysterious Joseph Hartman were unavailing when oou,t onaned today. -.s.sI Wilkerson wanted~to know if States Attorney Dady has caused the arrest or seouestration of Hartman, but the court ruled that the prosecution can not be compelled to divulge it's plans | to the defense.
 HnrtmaA is said to have visited Willxerson last Monday and to have told the lawyer a story concerning Marion Lambert He said that Clara | Cramer. his cousin, a domestic en-
 ployed at Lake Forest, told Miss Lam- bert that Hartman had a drug which would relieve her condition. Hart man said he gave Miss Lambert the drug.
 Miss Cramer was said by Hartman | to be in Toledo and Wilkerson sent one of his partners to the Ohio city to investigate. Hartman reported that Miss Cramer had come to Chicago and promised to produce her for confir- nation of the story last Saturday. The engagement was not kept and ltoday Wilkerson demanded to know il the state was detaining Hartman Dady admitted today that he knew twhere Hartman was.
