Solicitor General Hoyt's Mission.
For obvious reasons, Solicitor Gen.
eral Hoyt will not discuss the mis-
sion that brings him to Santa Fe. II
is not Of political, but of legal
nature. He merely authorizes this
statement: Il came out by direction
of the President to look into pending
federal litigation and to report to him"
This Is succinct statement and
it should set to rest all the rumors
and vague surmises that have passed
current or have been published in
this connection.
A Statehood Enthusiast.
Governor Curry is brimful of en-
thusiasm for statehood. 1t is the
paramount question before the people
and Governor Curry is doing his ut
most to secure for the Territory this
great birthright at the earliest posi-
BILE moment. He says: Both Dele
gate Andrews and myself feel that
the chances for the admission of this
Territory to statehood this winter are
very good. All that Is necessary is
to show Congress what progress has
been made in New Mexico and l
would advise people to send non
partisan delegation to the national
capital in order to assist Delegate An
drews in the spirited fight he is put
ting up in the cause of statehood. l
am willing to return there at any time
If it is advisable to do SO and to do
all in my power to secure statehood
for the Territory.
The President Friendly.
"The President feels very friendly
to New Mexico but will not take up the
matter of statehood in his forthcoming
message to Congress, but to use al
most his identical words, 1t will give
him great pleasure to approve state
hood bill.
Arizona Should Hold OF.
Il believe that it is not advisable
for Arizona people to present their
bill for admission at this session OF
Congress as such course might re-
suit in another attempt being made
to force joint statehood on us. If New
Mexico is admitted this winter, there
is no doubt in my mind, but that Ari-
zona will be granted statehood next
year. Personally, hope to see both
territories admitted as soon as possi-
BILE. With our population exceeding
100000, however, I believe Congress
will admit this Territory at once.
Powerful Influences Favor Admission.
"The Senators and Representatives
I met were heartily In favor Of sim
gle statehood for New Mexico, espe-
cially those from the south and west.
