The Minister in Honduras (Summerlin) to the Secretary of State

Tegucigalpa, October 26, 1928—noon.
[Received 3:45 p.m.]

125. My telegram No. 122, October 22, noon.4 President Paz stated to me this morning that reports received by him indicate that the Ferreristas recently concentrating at Playitas, Guatemala, have moved to Espiritu, Honduras, and that he believes that no immediate movement against his government may be expected unless the Liberals lose in the presidential elections on the 28th. In this connection he asked if the Cleveland may be ordered to remain at Puerto Cortes for a few days after the 30th.
