Governor W. c. Mcdonald returned
last evening from Albuquerque and
was at his desk in the Capitol this
morning busily engaged in disposing
cf the mail and routine official busi-
ness which accumulated in his alb
sence While in Albuquerque. the gov
ernor did not attend the meetings of
the Democratic State Central Commit
tee though he was much interested in
its deliberations. In regard to a sup
posed interview first published in an
Albuquerque paper and then sent out
through the Associated Press, in
which he is quoted as sternly repress-
ing the hopes of New Mexico fight
fans, the governor said:
Il have heard of the matter only
through rumor. Representatives of
the fight syndicate have not called on
NE. | have not threatened to call on
the mounted police to stop anything
not covered by the law. If there is
no law TO stop such an exhibition
shall ask the legislature to enact one.
II is true that fight would advertise
New Mexico, but whether it is the
kind of advertisement the people
want is another question. The money
it would bring to the state would
scarcely compensate for the unsaV-
CRY reputation gained"
The governor was very much pleas
cd over the reception rendered him IN
Las Vegas, last week. There was
an entire absence of political lines, ,
he said.
Few people were present except
citizens of Las Vegas, but the func-
ton did not lack brilliancy on that
account. Las Vegas was the first
place at which | stopped when I first
came to New Mexico and | feel that
the greetings of the people of the
Meadow City were in the nature OF 4
personal tribute. | never attended an
affair at which every one so thorough
ly enjoyed himself
The matter of the resignation of
Travelling Auditor John Joerns is
still pending according to the govern
or. and he is unwilling to chance an
opinion of what the outcome will be.
There has been no appointments re-

stood that the governor was in con-
ference with Filadelfo D. Baca while

assistant superintendent of public in
struction on February 30.
