The Minister in Nicaragua ( Eberhardt ) to the Secretary of State

Managua , August 20, 1927—9 a.m.
[Received 1:50 p.m.]

205. Most Conservatives, including Chamorro followers, are urging Diaz to advise Chamorro86 by cable to renounce publicly any intention to be Presidential candidate 1928 and to declare publicly that he will return and actively support any regularly nominated candidate. They do not ask that the Department openly commit itself, but believe Chamorro will comply if Diaz may add in the communication that both the Department of State and this Legation have knowledge of the message. Does the Department perceive any objection to such cable?
