By E. L. POWELL GA. p. Correspondent)

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Sept. 24. Supervision of the presidential election in Nicaragua next Novem- Der by the United States will cost the Nicaraguan government $780, 900.
 This amount has been appropri- ated by the Nicaraguan govern ment, and Brigadier General Frank R. Mccoy, who is here as Presi- dent Coolidge's personal agent to supervise the voting, says that expenditures ought not to exceed that limit.
 The cost to the United States government will be small, as the army. navy and marine corps of ficers simply receive the pay of their rank. The transportation of this staff from American ports to Nicaragua, has been on govern ment ships in nearly every case. In addition to their regular pay in the government service, 9 members of General McCOy's staff in Managua. the capital, and the the 13 chairmen of the election boards in the 13 departments of the country receive a per diem
