The Secretary of State to Minister Sullivan.

[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, April 2, 1914, 7 p.m.

Your March 31, 11 p.m. Give what dates in your opinion primary and general elections will be held. Is Constitutional Congress still in session? If so, when will it finish its labors?

In your utterances you will use caution when speaking of the coming elections and the candidates. The United States has no interest except to aid in the election of the candidate desired by the voters through the medium of free and fair means.
