Meeting With ENJOYS.
BY tho Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press,
ENJOYS of Paraguay and Bolivia sat
down today to seek n basis for settle
ment of their differences over territorial
rights in the Gran Chaco region and
removal OF the last remelning serious
threat to South American peace.
DIR. Juan Jose Soler, Paraguayan Min

livia to Washington, met Will. repre-
sentatives of the United States. Cuba.
Mexico. Colombia and Uruguay. The
neutrals form commission OF inquiry
and Cancellation.
wilderness Is Disputed.
The disputed area, larger than tho
State of California. is, for the most
part, a trackless wilderness. Claims
upon it by both principals date from
the davS of the Conquest, when rough
boundaries were drawn by Spanish
rulers, diving a continent into several
vice regal divisions.
When these attained independence
and split into separate nations, the
trouble of boundaries began, to endure
for a century.
Tiny military outposts guard the
claims of both countries in the sparsely
inhabited region along the Pilcomayo
River. 1t is where these armed areas
overlap that clashes sometimes occur
between patrols, such as happened in
December, 1923, when Bolivia and
Paraguay severed diplomatic relations.
Similar incidents since have required to
complicate efforts at arbitration and
Cancellation continuously in progress in
Washington for nearly three years.
Will Await New Delegates.
-Four times in the past half century
treaties have been negotiated, but none
is now effective. Diplomatic relations
have been repeatedly renewed and
broken.
Following today's session, the nego-
tiations will not be resumed until No
vember 10, to allow time for the arrival
of second delegate from each disput-
ing country.

 A few special issues made gains outside the utility group. Coppers firmed up when copper metal came back IA cent after a 1-2 cent de- cline in the last few days. Oils were barely steady. Amusements met support with Loew's bid up 1 1-8 to 57 1-8. Packard unloaded in huge blocks in the motors.
 Trading turned dull, tickers mov- ing leisurely in- the afternoon as the market sought to right itself. Rail- road shares dipped sharply in early trading, but rallied from the lows and quieted down later.
 There was nothing in the imme- diate news to account for the in- creasing popularity of the utility group. The street heard several rumors of Lig mergers in the offing.
