MEX|CO'S REPLY ID MEMORANDUM NOW
 IN HANDS OF J. s.
Not a Definite Answer, Neither Accepting Nor Rejecting Idea of Written Assur-
 ance of Protection
By Associated Press

Mexico City, June 6.-The American state department is now in possession of the first communication of a pos sible series of communications from President Obregon, relative to the memorandum handed the President ten days ago by George T. Summerlin, the American charge d'affaires, rela- tive to recognition of the Mexican gov ernment according to information ob- tained here today.
 President Obregon's communicallon, which is understood to have been transmitted by MT. Summerlin fast Fri day, is not a definite answer to the American memorandum, in that it nei- ther rejects nor accepts the idea of written assurances for the protection of American property and lives Tn Mex ico.
 It was said today that the com munication probably might be regard ed as further exchange of impress sionS on international matters which was the way President Obregon de- scribed his recent conference with MT Summerlin. Whether this exchange of impressions will continue IS believed to be contigent upon the attitude talk en by the American state depar tment.
 MT. Summerlin today in again deny ing reports of his imminent return to Washington. told the correspondent that he had no instructions to return. He also asserted that aside from one con ference, held on the day of his arrival here from Washington, he has not talked with President Obregon, except to exchange social amenities at two re- captions which both the President and himself attended last week. The charge, however. did not deny that written communications had passed between himself and the President.
 MRS. OBREGON'S VIEWS
 Washington, June 6.-While state de- partment officials refused to discuss to- night the progress of negotiations at Mexico City, which have been inaugu- rated with the view of possibly extend- ing recognition to the Obregon govern ment, 1t was said that Secretary Hughes has been closely in touch with the sit uation and has been informed of the views of President Obregon.
 Although it was indicated that no formal communication has been re- ceived directly from Obregon, 1t was said that the state department had re- ceived frequent reports from George T. Summerlin, the American charge daf- faires, giving the substance of his con versations in Mexico City and outlining the situation as 1t has developed.

Loudon. who made S2,O00OO0 selling

after doing his prison work. He has built
a model of Il dirigible. which he expects
viii be- able To transport 900 passengers
overseas. and has patented it. The model.
which he built in the prison metal shop.
of which Keeper John NanWyck is fore
man, is about - feet long and about nine
feet in diameter. 1t is cylindrical in
shape. Where it excels other dirigibes
is in the horizontal airshaft through the
centre Of the bag. This enables the wind
to pass through the center of the bag
and therefore greatly lessons the resist
ance of the wind against the head of the
dirigible The model will take aloft about
800 pounds.

FAIR COMMISSIONERS
MAY ALL RESIGN
Dissatisfied With Killing of Bills Provid-
ing for additional Barns on
Fair Grounds.

BARRE, April lS.-As the result of
the failure of the house bill 1874. provid-
ing $4,000 for construction of six barns
at the state fair GROUNDS, to become a
law because of Gov. Hartness's failure
to sign it and because of the supreme
court decision that it could not be
signed after five days from presentation
to the executive. there is rumor about
Montpelier that the entire state fair
commission will resign The state fair
barn bill was one of seven, which were
left unsigned by Governor Hardness
after the fiveday limit had expired. one
of which, $50, relating to the Milton
Colchester bridge, was signed on the
sixth day as test case and which was
declared by the court to be invalid.
The state fair commission was greatly
interested in the enactment of the house
bill 1874, claiming that the six barns
were essential to the success of the
state fair. It was declared that the
buildings were so cramped last year that
it was necessary to house valuable stock
in unsuitable quarters, and if provisions
were not made for adequate quarters the
exhibitors would refuse to place their
exhibits at the state fair
