The Minister in Nicaragua (Hanna) to the Secretary of State

Managua, July 2, 1930—9 p.m.
[Received July 3—12:38 a.m.]

[81?] My telegram No. 77, June 30, 7 p.m. President Moncada has just given me legal citations supporting his plan to make the amendments to the electoral law by Executive decree, with the request that Captain Johnson and I confer informally with members of the Supreme Court and then advise him as to our conclusions. We will do so unless you instruct otherwise but we will report our conclusions to you before communicating them to President Moncada. Details by air mail.
