Tour of South American States Curtailed Cedros Island, July 17.
President Roosevelt advised Captain Denavio Robert Gomez Magure, head of the Mexican naval service, today to inform General Lazaro Cardenas, President of Mexico, that he would be unable to visit either Mazatlan or Acapulco, although both cities were included in his earlier programme of halts during his South American cruise.
The USS. Houston, former U.S Asiatic Fleet flagship, which is carrying the President on a fishing trip, anchored off this Mexican Island in calm waters.
Captain Magure arrived in a Mexican gunboat and boarded the Houston. He conveyed to President Roosevelt greetings from Gen. Cardenas. He also said that the Mexican President had hoped that President Roosevelt would meet with much luck in his fishing—United Press.
