United States Offered Guaranties to Mexico Before Recognition
A Senate foreign relations subcommittee urged armed intervention if Mexico’s new rulers show instability. If a stable government forms, full recognition and aid would follow, but only after a treaty guarantees Americans’ rights under Mexico’s 1917 constitution and related provisions. A claims commission would promptly assess and pay damages to Americans.

Republicans Seat Extra Delegates Amid Contested States
Chairman Hays outlined a plan to seat 56 delegates from ten states in the Coliseum by adding 40 chairs and using empty seats for the remaining 16. He said the move would smooth factional differences and preserve gains from state selections while avoiding troublesome precedents. The Republican National Committee opened hearings in Chicago and seated Arkansas and Alabama delegates, postponing the District of Columbia contest and adjourning Florida after a lengthy session. Progress appeared slow, with estimates that contests may not be resolved before Friday and that decisions would not affect any candidate strength.
