The Minister in Nicaragua (Eberhardt) to the Secretary of State
[Received 5:23 p.m.]
374. Two days before the election, conditions throughout Nicaragua appear to be highly satisfactory. General McCoy has recently been in personal conference with each of his departmental chairmen and all of their reports indicate that there is no apparent reason to anticipate any serious difficulties or disorder on election day. There has been a marked relaxation of the tension which existed in some sections during the first part of October. The electoral machinery is functioning smoothly and the departmental boards almost without exception have conducted their work without friction between the representatives of the two parties. The leaders of both parties have expressed themselves as satisfied with the manner in which the electoral supervision has been conducted, up to the present time.
