u. S. WILL RECOGNIZE
MEXICO If She WILL
GUARANTEE INTERESTS
BY A. L. BRADFORD.

Omitted States staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. I. = Mexico
can win the recognition of the United
States without signing the treaty pro-
posed more than a year ago by this
government, if by actual accomplish
ment she will guarantee and safeguard
American interests in the southern
republic.
This was learned here today from
the best possible authority in connec-
tion with other information which
shows the exact status now of the
Mexican question.
Secretary of State Hughes is un-
derstood to have indicated to Mexico
that if she will actually put into effect
the guarantees the United States de-
mands, the American government will
not insist on the treaty which was
proposed as means of bringing about
recognition

PDMERENE
MAY REPLACE COX
AS FkVORITE SON
BY MARk SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. THE
next installment of primaries comes
next Tuesday. OF the four states
which hold them, those of two, Arkan-
sas and Alabama. affect members of
the lower house only But the other
two, Ohio and Wyoming, are both in
teresting and important. In fact, it
would be hard to overstate the poten-
tial Importance of this Ohio primary,
it will certainly have strong effect on
the next presidency, one that might
turn out to be determining factor.
The Ohio senator whose term ends
is Pomerene. Pomerene is a candi-
date for denomination on Tuesday
There is another candidate for the
nomination, but Pomerene will sure
ly win. With the Republicans there
are several candidates for the nomi-
nation to contest the senatorship elec-
tion with Pomerene in November
The Republican who is almost sure
to win the nomination is Simeon u.
Fess. After the pTimories and unit!
Nov. 2, there Will be contest between
Fess and Pomerene which probably
will eclipse in importance any other
contest in the coantry. The chief rea.
son for its particular Importance lies
in the effect the result will have on
the presidential situation in 1924.
If Pomerene succeeds in carrying
Ohio for the Democrats in November
he will pretty certainly displace Coz
as the favorite son of the Ohio Democ
racy, and in the next Democratic ma
tional convention he would naturally
occupy the strong position that was
so favorable to Cox in the last Demo
cratic national convention.
Pomerene as a Democrat fulfills per
fectly the formula frequently ex
pressed in the words, "a good safe
man from Ohio" which formula has
