Two Notes Sent Out.
In these worsening circumstances
DR.. Adrian Escobar, the Argentine
Ambassador here, was recalled by
Buenos Aires yesterday. Like Nor
man Armour, the American envoy
recently in Argentina, he had no
recognized diplomatic status, but
the decision to take him out showed,
even so. that Buenos Aires has given
up fol the time all hope of winning
a more friendly attitude from this
Government.
Information in diplomatic circles
is that the Urited States sent out
two notes on the Argentine affair,
one on June %, the other July 20.
The second was understood to con-
tain the policy summation and nail
down with flnality the decision
against recognition until the Bue-
