The Minister in Nicaragua (Eberhardt) to the Secretary of State
[Received 5:54 p.m.]
265. Last night General McCoy informally exchanged views regarding the situation in the Conservative Party with the other two members of the National Board of Elections. It transpired that he and Castillo, the Conservative member, were in accord in the opinion that neither Conservative faction had made a showing entitling it to be recognized to the exclusion of the other. Aguado, the Liberal member, on his part was not ready to express a definite opinion. Castillo thereupon offered to endeavor to persuade the two factions to present one ticket which could be recognized and both General McCoy and Aguado approved this proposal. No formal action will be taken for the present by the National Board of Elections pending the outcome of Castillo’s efforts.
