DOUGLAS, July 15,—Adolfo de la Huerta, governor of Sonora, arrived in Agua Prieta last night to meet General P. Elias Calles for a conference on the subject of transferring authority from military to civil authorities all over the state.
A few civil officials were appointed early this year and seated in the northern districts, but the Yaqui war the Columbus raid and consequent international complications caused the question of further appointments to be dropped for the time being.
The conferences will probably last for two days and other matters of state policy may also be discussed.
His coming was a surprise to the public as to his intention until he reached Naco late yesterday on a special train. From that point he came by automobile to Agua Prieta. Upon his arrival in the town across the border whistles were blown, the garrison was turned out in his honor and the military band played several selections. He stopped for the night in Agua Prieta.
