Carranza decries any American troop movement southward as hostile.
St. Louis Senator Tom Taggart, a beloved Hoosier figure, became a central fixer at the convention. Delegates, reporters, and officials pressed him for tickets and favors, yet he managed to satisfy nearly all requests, easing tensions and leaving visitors cheerful.
General Hall estimates capacity to field 2600 troops on short notice within two weeks. With an extra two weeks, he could add 1400 more from the reserve organization.
