favor Of the United States government.
The state department has called the

order to establish officially whether
the interview with the vice president.
in which the statements excepted to
are said to have been made, was
authentic. as published in Mexico City.
The question will be taken rp by Am

whom the department telegraphed late
yesterday a copy Of an official state
ment which 1t had issued uneQuivocal-

The statement expresses the con-

Mexican foreign office will promptly
"repudiate and prevent the promulga-
tion OF any such statements, calculated
so seriously TO disturb the mutual con-
ing between tho two peoples"
'srhe department Of state finds It
