The United States through George Summerlin presented a note to Mexico asking the foreign office to examine the Mexican Supreme Court decision on the Naica Mining Company in Chihuahua. The property, tied to American British and French interests, was valued at about 20 million pesos.

Summerlin spoke with Foreign Minister Idalgo and expected to urge President Obregon to act. British and French interests are active, with possible protests. Some Mexican papers called the note a threat, though officials say it was formal.
