J. s. OFFICIALS SEE
 CARRANzA'S POWER
 FAST DIMINISHING
Six U. s. Destroyers Sail for Key West for Duty in Mexican Waters if
 Needed
By Assnclaied Pres

Washington. May 5-Recognition of Carranza's rapidly diminishing DO se in Mexico was admitted by governn officials today. but the dispatch of q flotilla of destroyers to south srn waters was not taken to indicate taat foreigners are in immediate danger The six destroyers which sailed fr1ns New York will arrive ct Key West morrow and will be used along ..le east coast only in the event that ne- cessity arises. Before his departure Capt. Bryon Long. commanding the flotilia. conferred with the Secretary of the Navy. who save him .nstruc- tions as to the policy to be pursued.
 Development of the revolution, as reported to the government. has been so rapid as to convince many officials, and especially army affcers that Car ranza cannot maintain his authority much longer. not so much because he is opposed by a formidable military force as because he commands an army that is daily dissolving before the rebels advance instead of offer ing battle.
 Information obtained through
 official channels has been fbe
 basis of estimate that places
 the strength of the rebels at al-
 most double that of the govern
 ment. The generalization of the
 rebel forces has been hindered
 rather than aided ny the rnpidity
 with which new groups form in
 the different States and the
 brGmptness with which the federal
 gnrrisons have joined in the move
 ment even before being directly
 threatened.

Chairman Cummings said in his ad- dress that the world today is testing, by every possible standard not only men and measures and parties, but .n-. stltutions and forms of government He believed that America and Amer ican leadership will meet the test and issue triumphantly. speaking of the democratic party. he declared fit is al literal fact that during our control of the government prior to the war, we placed upon the statute books more useful and constructive legisla ation than the republican party had placed! there in a generation."
 He enumerated many legislative measures enacted by the democratic Congresses. and. coming to the war period. said that party leadership rose "to still greater heights" He chal- lenged critics of the administration to suggest how. within the limits of human possibilities the war could have been won more promptly and with less loss of American life.
 The state central committee, at it's meeting. voted to recommend to the resolutions committee that the conven- ton instruct the Connecticut delega- ton to vote as a unit and not to en- dorse any candidate.
