136. With reference to the last sentence of paragraph 2 of the Department’s telegram number 69 of March 15, 7 p.m. [noon]. It is our opinion that it would not be necessary or advisable so far as we can see at present for the President of the United States to issue the suggested order to General McCoy. The latter now has full and general authority to supervise the election and detailed specific instructions might in his opinion hinder his freedom of action.
Eberhardt
