there was no one at the depot to greet

Washington, April 22.-Your cor
respondent is reliably informed that
on Saturday the 18th instant, when
Governor Hagerman called at the
White House he was informed that
his resignation was desired. He
then asked as favor to be allowed to
return to New Mexico and send the
resignation from there which was ac-
corded. It was then and there under
stood that he would leave for New
Mexico that evening. He remained
until Tuesday night and on Wednes-
day the announcement was made at
the White House and given to the AS
sociated Press that his resignation
had been accepted and that the ap-
pointment of Captain George Curry
had been determined upon as Cover
nor of New Mexico.
There is absolutely no foundation
for the assertions published in the Al
buquerque morning paper that the
President is contemplating reconsider
ing his actions, and that the Presi-
dent might recall his demand for Ha-
germans resignation.

Albuquerque, N. M, April 22-The
