BOMBS THROWN
AT AUTOMOBILE
IN MEXICO CITY
General Is Slightly Cut About
Face by Flying Glass From
Windshield
POLICE INVESTIGATING
Three Men Who Threw Bombs
Arrested After Two Had
Been Shot in Pursuit
POLICE INVESTIGATING

Mexico City, Nov. 14.-(AP)-An
unsuccessful attempt to assassinate
the sole remaining Mexican presi-
dental candidate, General Alvaro
Obregon, was being investigated by
police today to determine if it had
any connection with a political con-
spiracy.
General Obregon had CONC to
Mexico City to resume active charge
of his political campaign when two
bombs were thrown at his automo.
bile. His face was slightly cut by
flying glass from the windshield.
Three men who threw the bombs
from another automobile were ar
rested after two of them had been
shot in the pursuit.
General Obregon arrived at a time
when the anti-reelectionist organiza-
ti0n, which opposes him, was con-
sidering the selection of a non-mili-
tary man to replace their two candi-
dates, General Arnulfo Cobez and
Francisco Serrano, who were execu-
ted after initiating revolutionary
attempt against the government.
En- Route to Bull Fight
General Obreg0n was motoring
with friends to a bull fight. AS the
car passed down the avenue of in-
surgents, in the fashionable resi-
dcncc district and near the United
States embassy, another automobile
drew alongside. AS it passed Cen
eral Obregon's car, two small dyna.
mite bombs were throYn, into it. 5.
Both bombs exploded. They shat.
tered the windshield and damaged
the automobile. A piece of glass
scratched Obregon's cheek.
B0mbers Seriously Wounded
Obreg9n's chauffeur, Catarind Vii
lanova, opened fire on the bombers.
Ignacio Otero, a companion of Obre-
gon, who was in another car, also
opened fire. Two Of the bombers,
Lamberto Ruiz and Antonio Tirado,
were seriously wounded. The auto
mobile bearing Otero took up the
pursuit and captured the trio. The
third man was Francisco Olivero.
Police said the three men appear
ed to be working men who were act
ing for enemies of Obregon. Police
did not make public any statement
they or their companions may have
made.
The companions of Obregon in his
automobile, Arturo Orco and
Thomas Bay, at first thought he had
been seriously wounded in the at
tempt.
The former president laughed and
told them not to worry as his face
was only scratched. Calm amidst
the excitement, he ordered his
chauffeur to continue to the bull
fight.

Washington Paper Publishes
Facsimile Copies to Show
That Recent Nicaraguan
Revolution Was Fomented
and Supported by Mexico

washington, Nov. i4.-lR)-The
Washington Herald, Hearst paper,
today published copyrighted arti-
Gle in which were incorporated
facsiniles Of documents said to
have come from secret files Of the
Mexican government supporting the
claim Of President Coolidge and
Secretary Kellogg that the recent
Nicaraguan revolution was formen-
ted and supported by Mexico.
One document, dated June 2, 1926,
purported to be an order for pay
ment of $4,000 to DR.. Pedro Jose
Zepedo, Mexican representative Of
DR.. Juan B.. Sacasa, who led the
revolt, for the purchasing Of arms
and ammunition. AS published, it
bore the signature Of President CAL
les. Other orders purported to call
for payment Of sums ranging from
S., 900 to $25, 900 to Zepedo and DIR.
Carlos Leon for performance Of
secret missions confided to each, by
President Gales or the chief Of the
presidential staff. The arms were
charged in the documents to the
secret expenses Of the presidential
staff.
To Print More Later

more to be published later, were
brought to this country by Mexi-
can officials and obtained from
them by the Hearst newspapers.
All, it declared, would be placed 1t
the disposal Of the state depart
ment and Of congress.

tion in Nicaragua, President Cool
idge, in q message to congress

ment, and q few days later Sec
