It would return to the Mexican republic upon guarantees from the national adminis tration that they would be no infringe ment, of the state's rights by the federal government. The secession, nrcording to the offi cials, was brought about by Carranza 'ordering federal troops into the state. They said the next move was up to Car ranza. Unless he acts, political leaders of Sonora said, the new republic would i defy the Mexican federal government . and resist with armed forces any at tempt of Carranza to take back the ,tat by force. General I'cllas Calles, former gov ernor .of Sonora, and who recently re signed from the Carranza cabinet, has S been made supreme military commander of the state's military forces.
