WILSON DEMANDS
Direct REPLY TO
Note TO CARRANzh

WASHINGTON, Aug. Requests
that the Mexican de facto government
reply directly to the suggestions of the
last American note, will be sent to
Mexico City without undue delay. Of
ficials here regard the note received
yesterday as little more than an an
nouncement of the selection of the
Mexican commission.
Although the communication stated
that the three Mexican commissioners
had been instructed to discuss "prefer-
ably the issues outlined in the form
er Mexican communication, the with
drawal of American troops and fixing
responsibility for past border raid, of
ficials here regard that as inconclu-
siye.

ROBINS QUITS
PROCRESS|VES
TO AID HUGHES

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Delaring that
the primary and regular vote in 1914
and 1916 showed that the Progressive
voters had deliberately and in over
whelming numbers abandoned the
Progressive party" Raymond Robins,
one time Progressive Democrat, and
chairman of the 1915 Progressive con-
vention, issued a statement today urg-
ing all Progressives to support Charles
Evans Hughes.
The statement is addressed "to my
fellow Progressives" and says that the
fact that nearly three-fourths of the
Progressives Of 1912 refused to sup
port the Progressive candidates in
1914 proves that they regarded the
Progressive candidates "as the repre-
sentatives Of protest and not of
party"
He flays the Democratic administra-
ton In Illinois and declares that "the
Progressive Democrats of Illinois are
heartsick minority. The Progressive
Republicans are a militant-and prop

"The present administration at
Washington has helped rather than
hindered the growth of boss control
of the Democratic party in Illinois,"
the state declares. "The Progressive
Republicans who furnished 95 per
cent of the leadership and so per cent
Of the votes for the Progressive candi-
dates in 1912"
