Is Short Lived
by United Press Leased Wire

MEX1CO CITY, Mex, Oct. 3.-An
outbreak among government troops
stationed in Mexico City was given
official cOgnizance today in a
statement from the presidential pa
lace, but the seriousness of the sit
uation was minimized.
A statement by General Jose Al
varez, chief of the presidential
staff, said "three military COM
panies out of 20 stationed in the
capitol abandoned their quarters
for the purpose of committing trea,
sonable acts against the govern
ment.
The majority of the disaffected
troops regretted their action later,
the statement continued, and re-
turned ITO their barracks, leaving
only 500 who refused to obey their
officers.
Asked if the attempted rebellion
had any connection with the presi-
Dental campaign, Alvarez replied:
"The government has not at any
time established any form of vigi-
lance over the candidates. Both
Gomez and Serrano left the capital

United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-A Re-
publican party conference is being
held here this week by William NJ.
Rutler, close friend of President
Coolidge and chairman of the Re
publican National committee.
Butler wants to find out the atti-
tude of national committee men on
the question of site for the 1923
Republican National convention and
also hopes to learn the reaction of
Mr.. Coolidge's statement that he
does not choose to be a candidate.
The Republican chairman has in
dicatcd his belief that Mr.. Coolidge
will be drafted and this possibility
is expected to play an important
part in the discussions.
Butler arrived last night and made
reservations at downtown hotel.
He had breakfast at the White
House today. His conferences with
the committee men from various
sections are expected to require his
attention during the whole week.
The chairman has not seen Mr..
Coolidge since the president went
to the Black Hills, more than three
months ago, and was not consulted
by the president before the choose ,
statement was issued from Rapid
City.
Since that statement, however,
Butler has let it be known he
thinks Mr.. Coolidge should and will
be nominated anyway; In United
Press surveys made over the coun-
try, a majority of leaders have ex-
pressed opinion that Mr.. Coolidge
had eliminated himself

schedule is Mrs. A. 4. Hcrt of Louis
