I ST. LOUIS, June 12. Henry Allen, chief moderator of the progressive I convention, declared himself for ' I! uches today. He Mid that he ex j peeled the progressives from the nor thern and central states to follow suit. ' I think the hour is too important J to worry about the name of a party I to which a man belongs. If Roose velt accepts Hughes' splendid state ment as meeting the progressive con ditions, the majority of the progres sives will support Hughes. If Ituos- kevelt declines the progressive nomina tion, I will support Hughes rather Anti'Americin Feeling Said to be Sweeping Over Mexico COLL'MBL'S. June 12. An anti American feeling is sweeping Chi I annua, according to refugees leav ing the mines and ranches and 'seek ing safety with the expeditionary forces. It was reported today thai Mexican agitators are traveling from village to village south of the Am erican lines, making incendiary m lies against the Gringoes. The lopulaee and soldiery of Chihuahua Cit) yesterday were scheduled to par ticipate in a demonstration against the Americans. The result of the demonstration is anxiously awaited here. Trevino's order barred twelve Am ericans from returning over the bor der. It was reported that they were hiding with friendly Mexicans. WASHINGTON, June 12. Conditi ons in Mexico have become so serious in the past few days that the admin istration is considering formally call ing t'arranza's attention to the situ ation, the state department announc ed. Ijinslnir explained that consular re- ports said that the natives of northern Mexico were showing increased ex citement and unrest and that Carran za officials were exhibiting noticeable indifference to the situation.

It was believed that Roosevelt will take an active part In the Hughes campaign. Allen said the proper thing for the progressives to do was to nominate Hughes as their presi dential candidate and Parker as vice president. This would keep the party alive and give the progressives who do not want to return to the republi can ranks or affiliate wth the demo crats, a place to light. Other pro-; gresslves believe that Victor Murdock K ill be nominated when Rcosevelt ! finally declines. their presence will be sent this week. The note will politely but flatly re fuse a withdrawal or even a rear rangement of the American troops. The note practically was completed to I day. It is very' long. Among the ! n asons cited for refusing to withdraw the president will emphasize the fact that the murderers of Americans at Santa Ysabel are unpunished or un (captured. He will also recite the re- cent raids on American soil. Empha i sis will be laid on consular reports ' that the situation in northern Mexi i tn requires American troops there.

I certainly had a leautlful festival over which to rule and the most loyul of subjects, and everything possible was done for my pleasure and comfort-Sheriff Taylor, too. is wearing a happy smile but his friends suspect that it comes not so much from the memories of his kingly glory as It does from a feeling of satisfaction that he can once agarn wear the plain UMI unassuming garb of a private cit izen. The queen and the king had a bus time of it Saturday despite the fa t that the festival closed Friday night In the morning they visited the war ships in the harbor and took leave ,,f the officers and men. posing at the same time for motion pictures in the afternoon, too, they took pan in some scenes for ihe movies The motion pictures of the festival are already being shown In Portland and a number of Pendletonians saw them.
