Says Letter Containing
Statement Miscarried.
Ballots Held Up.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Tallahassee, Fla, May 31.-The
secretary of state has ordered clerks
of courts to hold up the printing of
ballots, and Angle has employed Fred
Myers to make a supreme effort to
get his name on the ticket.
The supreme court will hear man
damus by Angle to force Crawford to
put his name on the ticket and render
a decision by Friday.
The letter containing Angles state
ment has never shown up. He swears
he mailed it at Milton last Friday in
plenty of time. He was there with
the itinerary arranged by the state
committee and his only means of
filing the statement was by mail. An
gle has affidavits from the notary
who took the statement, the stenogra-
pher who wrote it and addressed the
envelope, the man who let him have a
stamp, and a witness who saw him
mail the letter.
Sympathy here is with Angle and
sentiment for a fair deal is evident
Gwynn and Amos have asked Craw-
ford to permit his name on the
ticket.

WASHINGTON WILL
NOT WITHDRAW FORCE
THINKS NOTE BLUFF

Washington, May S1.-Carranza's
note, bluntly questioning the good
faith of the United States and de-
manding the withdrawal of American
troops, with threats of armed resist
ance, was presented to the state de-
partment today by Mexican Ambassa-
dor designate. Tonight translation
was laid before Wilson, who at once
began considering how it should be
answered. While none in official cir
Giles attempt to forecast Wilson's
course, the opinion is unanimous that
there viii be no immediate withdrawal
of the Pershing expedition. 1t is
said the Carranza government has
failed thus far to demonstrate its
ability to protect the border from
raids. Tt is suggested, however, that
the belligerent and uncompromislng
attitude of the note is largely for ef-
feet on the Mexican public. There IS
little disposition here to believe the
de facto government has actually con-
templated an effort to expel the
Americans by force. The Mexican
ambassador gave the impression that
the defiance IN the note is not to be
taken at the face value.

United States Must Declare
Itself Clearly Says
Mexican President.
CARRANZA THINKS
MEXICO INVADED
4 Twelve Thousand Word
Note Challenges United
States.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Mexico, City, May 31.-Asserting
that the words and protests of the
United States had been entirely in
contradiction of their acts, and de-
spite the protests not to intervene in
the affairs of Mexico, the soldiers of
the United States are in Mexico with
out the consent of the Mexican gov
eminent. The Carranza government
asks for the immediate withdrawal of
American troops. The request, made
in twelve thousand word note, was
made public at the foreign office here
today. The note recites that Ameri~
cans crossed the border after the Co
lumbus raid without the permission of
the Mexican government. The act is
not considered one of invasion because
the United States claimed the atti-
tude of the Mexican government in
this matter was misinterpreted. When
the second expedition crossed at
Glenn Springs, the note maintains, the
United States pleas that this was
done with the consent of the Mexican
/ consul at Del Rio, Texas, isuntenable
and can only be considered as an act
of invasion.
The note points out that much of
the trouble is due to the failure of
the United States to punish conspira-
tors in the United States who plotted
the downfall of the Carranza govern
ment, and the acts of Washington in
refusing to permit the shipment of
munitions into Mexico.
Holding that the United States acts
and words are contradictory, the note
says that the time has arrived when
Washington must declare itself clearly
and unequivocally as to its future
intention toward Mexico.
The note says the Mexican govern
ment Understands that in the face
of the unwillingness of the United
States to withdraw troops, it would be
left to no other recourse than ''to pro-
cure the defense of its territory by
means of arms" 1t is stated that the
United States expedition made no eff.
fort to cooperate with the Carranza
troops, and the Carranza government
has kept in ignorance of the Ameri-
cans movements.
AS evidence of the American dis.
trust of the de facto government, the
note asserts the American expedition
included artillery and infantry, tbs
use of which "cannot be explained ex
cept as precaution against possible
attack by Mexican forces" The nott
declares, while processing this con
trary, that the United States has ap
a peared to place many obstacles IL
the way of the de facto government
md has hindered it in re-establishins
Kings in Mexico.
