DENIED THAT CREEIl Is
ENVOY OF ZE,IAYA REGIME

Mexico City, Dec. 20.-'Too absurd
to be dignified by a serious discus
sion,' said Sub-secretary of Foreign
relations NJ Gambos tonight, when
asked FOR an expression regarding a
report from Bluefields which was sent
out from Washington that a repre-
sentative OF the Mexican government
in Washington was involved in plot
to place friend of Zelaya at the head
of the Nicaraguan government
Assuming that the representative in
Washington referred to in the Blue
fields report was Governor Enrique
Creel Mr. Gamboa said:
The report is so palpably false
and absurd that it is useless even to
discuss it. The Mexican government
has the utmost confidence in its Off
cial representatives and | know that
neither Mr.. Creel nor anv other of
fieial connected with this government
IS involved in any such scheme"
