At this hour the order of Judge Paul Lit tie, who decided last March against the liquor interests, became effective. The order reads that the saloons must close at midnight, but the II o'clock closing law of the city made them close an hour earlier.
 There was no disorder as the lights were extinguished for the last time. scenes of confusion. The crowds ln- creased as the fatal hour drew near, and although bartenders were swamp ed every one secured service.

WILSON'S MEXICAN
POLICY DECIDED ON
Rushcs Work on Note at Cor

tress in Capital.
ARMS EMBARGO PROBABLE

CORNISH. n. r.. July 27-President
Wilson was AZ work to-day preparing the
promised announcement of the move the
Government will take in pursuance OF
his new policy regarding Mexico. The
president shut himself In his study at
~Harlakenden House this afternoon and
wrote rapidly on his typewriter for about
half an hour. II was understood that
he practically had completed tho formu-
lation OF the announcement which Sec
rotary Lansing indicated at Washington
Is To be made In a few days.
Secretary Lansing's announcement
that the Government is about to make
a definite move in regard to Mexico vas
not supplemented at the summer White
House to-day.
The President IL known to have had
two radically different courses under con-
s!deration. One, II is believed, provides
for the abandonment OF further efforts to
prevail upon the Mexican leaders to as
tablish peace among themselves. The
first step In this policy would he the
restoration Of the embargo on shipments
OF arms and munitions into Mexico. Tho
embargo was lifted nearly two years ago
IN tho determination TO drive Huerta
from control ut Mexico city.
The other course, which one Of the
Presidents official advisers has urged
consistently, is said to be the calling Of
a conference Of Mexican leaders by the
United States Government in an effort
To have the chieftains agree upon a pro-
visional President to be recognized by
the United states. This step would be
taken In connection with the Issuance OF
an announcement fixing a period within
which the revolutionary leaders must
reach an agreement. provided the United
States Is to refrain from positive meas
ures In behalf Of Its own citizens south
OF the Rio Graude.
The President wa stirred to-day by
reports which reached him In the state
Departments despatch bag regarding
chaotic conditions in Mexico city. I'm
med'ately after reading these reports the
President set about the preparation OF
the promised statement. No indication
was given as to whether or not the
statement won he issued before or
after the Presidents return TO Wash
ington.
