The Secretary continued that President Diaz had been chosen in a constitutional way by the Nicaraguan Congress, and one that the United States properly recog. nized. Secretary Kellogg said that the United States had declined to recog- nize Gen. Chamarro or Uriza, who were put forward as heads of the Nic araguan government after the resig nation of President Solozarno, and had recognized no government there un til the Legislature, in conformity with the constitution under such conditions chose President Dia 1 “Those are the facts.

The Solozarno and Sacasa ticket received about 48,000 votes and the Chamorro ticket about 28,000 votes.
