The Minister in Nicaragua (Eberhardt) to the Secretary of State
[Received 8:14 p.m.]
218. My May 16, 6 p.m. Newspaper reports indicate that the Chamorro members of the Conservative directorate at the meeting referred to in my May 16, 6 p.m., and at a second meeting held yesterday completed the work of passing upon the credentials of the delegates to the National Convention.
They also elected Doctor Ignacio Suarez as alternate to the Conservative political member of the National Board of Elections. The President informed me this morning that he would not recognize the validity of any action taken by the directorate at these meetings because they had been illegally called.
