Washington, U. C„ July 23.—Peace

officials, diplomats and Mexicans of
bath factions here who are In touch
with all phases of the problem.
The United States government
exerting every diplomatic Influence
towards harmonising discordant el
ements, but certain aspects are admit
tedly grave. Official reports reveal
that tho most threatening factor
the aloofness of Oen. Villa from the
authority of Gen. Carranza. Another
vexing point is that Oen. Carranza,
according to his agents here, is d!s>
inclined to grant an amnesty to po
litical offenders and will insist on an
unconditional surrender by the Car
bajal government.
CARBAJAL MAY »

Unless Carranta is willing to give
assurances that there will bo no
wholesale arrests, executions and
confiscation of property when tho
Constitutionalists enter Mexico City,
Provisional President Carbajal will
rally all the military e(ements at his
disposal and resist to the end tho
Constitutional advance.
The diplomatic representatives of
Argentina, Brazil and Chile who me

ELECTION OF
BROYLES PREDICTED
Atlanta, July 23.—Friends of Judge
Nash R. Broyles of the recorder’*
court of Atlanta, candidate for Judgo
of the court of appeals, are Insisting
that he answer the groundless attack
that Is being made upon him by Ms
opponent, A. W. Stephens of Atlanta.
They are calling attention to the
fact that Judgo Broyles has received
the almost solid endorsement of the
Atlanta bar, notwithstanding the fact
that Mr. Stephens has been claiming
in communications to the lawyers and
people generally that the Atlanta bar
had Indorsed him. They say the ques
tion has arisen ss to Just how Mr.
Stephens will explain his claims.
Judge Broyles' remarkable race for
the court of appeals two years ago. Is
still fresh la the memories of Geor
gians, ns is also his magnanimous
conduct in withdrawing from the con
test in the interest of hsrmony at the
Macon convention, after he had tied
with Judgo J. It. Pottfe In the state
primary.
The lawyers of Atlanta have never
Indorsed Mr. Stephens, it Is stated,
for any position for which he has
run, on account of an alleged lack of
legal experience. They recall also
the fact that several years ago Mr.
Stephens endorsed and recommend
ed a negro politician for admission to
the bar. They say, of course, Mr.
Stephens had a legal light to dp thla.
If It mat his personal tastes and In
clinations, but that a negro lawyer
Is distasteful to the lawyers and court
officials generally.
Politicians here are predicting tho
election of Judge Broyles by an over*
whelming majority.
