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

Managua, July 26, 1928—11 a.m.
[Received 3:02 p.m.]

297. The President has just informed me that Adolfo Benard has been agreed upon by himself and Chamorro as Conservative candidate for the Presidency with Julio Cardenal as Vice Presidential candidate. The formal nomination will presumably be made today by the combined directorates of the two factions.
