Antonio Villareal, barred from Mexico, is announced by the Anti-Re-electionist party to have slipped across the border and thus qualified for the presidential election next year. The law requires that candidates for th: presidency be in national territory at least one year before the election. The time limit expired on Friday. Gen, Villareal, who had been refused permis- sion to return, was stated by Vito Ales- sion Robles, president of the Anti- Re-electionist party, to have crossed the border at Laredo some days ago. He is still in Mexico and appeared before a notary public at Monterey to obtain certification of the fact that he was there before the time limit expired. Gen. Villareal was deported by the Calles government because of partici- pation in the Serrano rebellion of last year. He is a former minister of agri- culture and at one time was military commander of Nuevo Laredo. After his nomination by a group of Anti-Re-electionists he sought permis- siow to return to Mexico. This'was de- nied by President-designate Emilio Portes Gil, acting as minister of in- terior. Robles also announced that a con- vention of the Anti-Re-electionist party would be held early in December to nominate a candidate. The choice lies between Jose Vasconcelos, who has al- ready been selected by the party of revolutionary principles, and Gen. Vil- lareal. If Gen. Villareal succeeds in obtain- ing the presidential nomination he will be the only military man of the three candidates in the field. Vasconcelos is a lawyer, as is Aaron Saenz, who re- signed as governor of Nuevo Leon some time ago to run for the presidency. ‘The election will be held on the third Sunday of November, 1929, and Portes Gil will conclude his term as provisional | president at the end of that month.
