Mr.. Meyer said definitely that
Colonel Roosevelt would not be in Chi

Mr. Hitchcock was incensed at what
he declared had been "garbling" Of
his statement Yesterday on Justice
Hughes. He declared Hughes senti-
ment 70 be on an increase among the
delegates From his headquarters in
the Congress Hotel he issued the fol-
lowing typewriter interview:
THE concerted attack the managers
and publicity agents OF certain can
didates are making on those Of US
who favor the nomination of Justice
Hughes only serves to show how form
liable they consider the movement IN
his behalf Agans this attack we
make no COMPLAINT because messages
we are receiving from all parts OF the
country indicate that II IS helping
rather than hurting the cause in which
we are interested
When asked II he had declared that
Justice Hughes would accept the nomi-
nation if rendered, Mr.. Hitchcock in
sisted that he had made no such state
ment. He said that his reply to that
question had been:
mo man could refuse Presidential
nomination rendered by his party in
times like these. and particularly If the
party felt that he was the man above
ell others who could unite its divided
forces and lead them to victory"
He reiterated his previous statement
that he had no authority whatever 10
represent Justice Hughes. having had
no communication with him, directly or
indirectly, for many months. He said:
II have come to Chicago solely on
my own responsibility to work for
what | consider to be the best inter
ests Of the Republican party and the

u. S. Attitude Explained.

"The government of the United
States explained also that its attitude
was taken in view Of the necessity for
rapid action. and explained its willing
ness to receive any suggestions of the
Mexican government relative to for
nal agreement for the crossing of the
international line by forces OF either
country.
Both governments then FASTENED 10
define terms of an agreement, two
projects Of the Mexican government
and two counter projects Of the Amer
lean government being exchanged. In
discussing the agreement the Mexican
government insisted constantly that
the operation of troops in foreign
country must be limited as TO the num-
Der of soldiers. the class of arms and
the territory occupied.
j "The American goverr.dent refused
TO agree on these points, but in its last
note presented to this government
agreed to accept in part these lmita-
tions, nevertheless, insisting that they
be not applied to the Columbus expe-
ditions.
This attitude OF the American gov
eminent caused the Mexican govern
ment to send note under date OF
April II, suspendng negotiations over
any agreement, in view of the fact that
the American government demanded
/ that the Columbus case should be eX-
/ Guided, and requested the retirement
/ Of the American troops, as they were
in Mexico under no agreement, and. as
a further reason, because the Villa

Meanwhile, the American govern
ment did not answer the note of April

found convenient by both countries
that q convention Of military chief

Injustice Charged.
This statement follows

This statement follows:
"The causes Of any internal politl-
cal order which may exist not 20 with
draw the American troops from MeNi-
can territory, however justified they
may appear. cannot justify the above
attitude. but on the contrary, they
accentuate the discrepancy between
the protests Of respect to the SOW
ereignty Of Mexico and the actual fact
that on account of reasons of internal
policy Of the United States status
should be maintained which is utterly
unjust with regard to the Mexican re-
public
"The Columbus expedition" it says
"has been carried into effect without
any spirit of harmony, but on the con
trarv under a spirit of distrust OF our
authorities as our cooperation was not
only unsought but we were uninformed
in regard to the military operations
effected"
As evidence Of this distrust the note
cites the fact that the expedition IN
Guided artillery and infantry. the use
OF which cannot be explained in any
other way except as a precautlon
against probable attack on the part OF
the Mexican forces
The United States, IL - asserted.
now prefers TO keep it's troops idle IN
Mexico rather than post them on the
American side Of the line.
by this action the note says. the
American government gives room Tor
the supposition that its true intention
is 10 keep there the troops It has al
ready informed in Mexico, anticipating
that it may make use of them later for
future operations.
The note cites "the decided support
given Villa at one time by General
Scott and the State Department, which,
it says, prolonged civil war many
months. and the continuous assistance
rendered by American Catholic clergy
to their Mexican brothers. who are, 1t
is charged, necessarily working against
the Consttutionalist government"
The activities OF the American in
terventionist press and business men"
also are referred TO. The American
government, the note says, Is either
unable or unwilling TO prevent all OF
these works of conspiracy" against the
dc facto government. Many Of the
bands Of border outlaws. II adds. were
armed and perhaps also organized
under the tolerance of Texas authori-
were arrested have been released under
insignificant bond.
The detention of shipments Of arms
and ammunition TO the Mexican gov
eminent is also arraigned as an un-
friendly act for which no frank reason
has been assigned. This embargo, II
say. can have no other Interpretation
than that the United States wishes TO
protect itself against the EN- Urgency OF
a future conflict" The note does not
question the right of the United states
to do this, but declares frank state
mcnt of it's reasons would be prefera
BILE to the frivolous pretext of pre-
venting these arms and ammunition
from falling into the hands OF Villista
bands"
The whole embargo matter, II as
serts, els a clear indication hat the
acts Of the American military author
ities are in conflict with the purposes
Of peace Of the American government

Anxious to Know.

The Mexican government and peo-
ple. therefore, are anxious 20 know
what they should expect the note
concludes. land they want 70 be sure
that the expressions so many times
made by the government of the United
States are in keeping with sincere
desire for peace and a friendship that
should exist not only in declarations,
but be crystallized in deeds.
The Mexica government, therefore,
formally invites the government OF the
United States to cause the situation OF
uncertainty between the two countries
TO cease and to support its declara.
tions and protests Of amity with real
and effective action, which will con-
vince the Mexican people Of the SIN
cerity of its purposes.
This action in the present situation
cannot be other than the immediate
withdrawal of American troops now IN

Doesn't Wish War.

"The Mexican government cannot
wish war with the United Stat -" the
note continues, and If this should occur
it would undoubtedly be as a conse-
uence Of deliberate purpose of the
United States. For the time being, the
above precautionary acts indicate that
there is q purpose of preparedness for
such emergency, or that, whi:n IS the
same. the beginning of hostlli,ies on
the part o. the United States toward
Mexico
The detention in New York Of ma
chinery intended for government am
munition factory in Mexico is then
made a subject OF protest, and atten-
tion is called to the fact that millions
and millions Of dollars worth" Of war
munitions are being exported to Europe
daily.
The note says the Mexican people
and government are sure the American
people do not want war with Mexico
but that strong agencies are at work
TO produce such a conflict, and it is
INDISPENSABLE that the American gov
eminent frankly state its purposes and
remove the conflict between its protes
tatlons ot amity and the Facts OF dis
trust and aggression on the part OF
American military authorities"

VIII Not Withdraw.

No one in official circles would at
tempt 10 forecast just what course the
President might decide upon There
,vas complete unanimity, however. IN
the belief that there would be no imme-
9iate withdrawal OF the Pershlng eX-
redition. High officials saio the de
facto government so far had utterly
failed 10 demonstrate its ability TO pro
tect the border against bandits, and eN-
pressed the opinion that the troops
would stay in Mexico until TINS was
done
II was suggested that the belligerent
md uncompromising tone assumed by
Csrranza probably was largely for et-
feet upon the Mexican public, and there
- was little disposition TO believe that the
de factc government actually contem-
plated an effort TO eXpel the American
army by force.
Mr.. Arredondo left the impression
that his chief did not expect the defiant
words Of the note 10 be taken at their
face value. when, on handing the com
munication 70 Acting Secretary Polk,
he gave notice that IL was not intended
rs an ultimatum. but as continuation
Of the negotiations which have been IN
progress between the two governments.
The new note, written before the
withdrawal Of the Lang Sibley eX-
pedition. which entered Mexico ate:
The Booullas raid, was brought TO
Washington Monday by Manuel Men
dez. an attache Of the Mexican For
oien Office.
Secretary Lansing. who has been alb
sent from his Office on account Of i'll
ness for a week, will return tomorrow.
He is expected to study the note care
fully in preparation for the Cabinet
meeting Friday. There are statements
in the communication particularly with
regard to the agreement reached az the

conflict with General SCOTS under
standing Of what was included in the
unwritten pact
Secretary Baker, who was absent
from the city tonight, and General
Scott himself since his return from FL
Paso have declared that no limitation
had been placed upon General Funston
bv that agreement which would pre-
vent him either from sending addi-
tional troops TO join Pershings col
umns or dispatching new expeditions
in pursuit of raiders such as those al
Glen Springs. provided his men fol-
lowed a hot trail.
General Scott said to-day that the
general trend Of his understanding
with Obregon provided that Pershing' s
force withdraw slowly north of San
Antonio, Mexico. His statement was
made in connection with the confer
ence expected tomorrow between Cen
erals Pershing and Gavirs, the latter
commanding the Mexican force IN
Pershing's Immediate vicinity.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-06-01
Retreat Not Likely.

General Funston has authority. It
was learned. TO dispose his forces IN
anv way he sees TT north of San An
tonic. Should General Pershing sug-
gest g further retirement, after the
conference. it could be ordered with
out reference to Washington, although
il is doubtful that such step would
be taken.
officials made il very plain, however,
that the Columbus expedition. referred
10 in the Mexican note as 'interned
i'm the State of Chihuahua can be
withdrawn from Mexico only on Presl-
dent Wilson's orders.
The thnly yelled threat in the note
that failing withdrawal. after due eX-
change of views between Washington
and Mexico City. American forces IN
Mexico might expect attack by Next
can troops. left army officers undiS-
turbed. They are certain that General
Pershing is so situated as to be able
10 take care of himself against any
force that could be assembled in Mex
leo. Every precaution has been taken
10 insure the safety of his column. If
any new orders we're thought necessary
because of the hostile attitude indicat-
ed in the note, there was no sign OF
them at the War Department tonight.

Second Error Disputed.

The Mexican government, 10 is de-
clared cannot assume that the United
States government has committed an
error a second time IN ordering the
crossing without the consent Of the
government OF Mexico, or that the com
mander Of the American troops acted
without due authority upon this occa-
sion.
THE explanation given by the Amer
lean government in regard 10 the cross
ing Of troops at Columbus has never
been satisfactory to the Mexican gov
eminent" the communication says. but
the new invasion of our territory is no
longer an isolated act, and tends 10 con
vince the Mexican government that
something more than mere error is
involved.
"This latter act Of the American
forces causes new complications for the
Mexican government, increasing the diff
fculty of finding satisfactory solution
and the tenseness of the international
situation. The Mexican government:
cannot consider this last incident eX-
cept as an invasion of our territory,
and il is its duty TO request the Amer
lean government 10 order the immediate
withdrawal Of these new forces and to
abstain from sending any other eXpe-
dition Of a similar nature"
The note written before the with
drawal Of the Boquillas expedition
then renews its demand for the imme
date withdrawal OF that force. adding
that in any case after having made
its position clear at will be forced to
defend itself against any group OF
American troops which may be found
within its territory"
II refers to the Columbus expedition
az Tnterned in the State Of Chihua-
hua." and also insists upon its with
drawal, adding:
THE Mexican government under
stands that in the face Of the unwil-
lingness Of the American government
70 withdraw the above forces it would
be left no other resource than TO pro-
! cure the defence Of its territory by
means of arms. But it understands at
! the same time its duty 20 avoid as far
as possible an armed conflict between

Obregon's Plan.

Because Of the possibility of other
raids. General Oregon then suggested
10 the American conferrees plan OF
distribution of troops along the border
by both governments 10 prevent such
incidents. the note says, thus showing
not only the good faith of the de facto
government, but also its frank will
ingness TO arrive AZ an effective CO
operation" and end the cause for fric-
tion.
The plan. it adds, was intended as a
preliminary TO the completion of a
definite and reciprocal agreement under
which troops Of either government
could cross the border as long as such
conditions obtained in that region.
General Scott insisted on the form OF
the original memorandum and the con-
ference adjourned, leaving the matter
10 diplomatic agencies for adjustment.
Taking the matter up az of May %,
the date the note bears, it says that
the Mexican government has just been
advised that 400 men of the American
army had crossed into Mexico, the fact
being brought to the attention of the
government by a communication from
the commander of the expedition 10 the
Mexican military commander at Esme-
RADIO, informing him that he had
crossed the line in accordance with the
agreement between the two govern
ments. and with the consent Of Mex
lean consular official at Del Rio, Tex.
