Department’s October 1, 7 p.m.; my October 2, noon. Foreign Secretary was unable to secure denial Carranza’s formal reply last night. This morning he stated he went to see the First Chief but missed seeing him. Would again this afternoon. That reply would surely be sent tomorrow. Stated that General Carranza was personally handling the case.
