Fail to Find Anything That Would Justify DepOrta-
 ton of Venezuelan

Washington, December 2S.-The ar- rival at New York tomorrow of Cip- riano Castro, former president of Vene- zuela on the French steamer La Tou- raine, will be watched with keen in- terest by the department of state and commerce and labor who are searching the spectacular career of the erstwhile powerful figure of South America, for evidence to turn him away from the gates of the United States as an unde- sirable immigrant.
 The state department so far has failed to find that he has been con- victed of any crime involving moral turpitude which would justify his de- portation.
 Reports to the department from Cara cas state the deposed president is under indictment on the charge of having in- stieated plot to assassinate President Gomez, his successor in office He has never been tried, however, and the inn migration laws provide that hc must be convicted of. or admit such a crime to warrant his expulsion.
 All state department reports in this connection are being laid before Secre- tary Nagel who personally will deter mine whether Castro can be denied ad- mission.
