Cientificos to Try
Tomorrow to Enlist
u. S. Aid in Mexico

A new attempt. by the 'cientifco' or
reactionary element in Mexico to enlist
the support OF the United States will
be made tomorrow when FREDERICK
Gamboa, minister of foreign relations
under Huerta. Juan Lujan. under-sec-
retary of interior during the same
regime. and Ismael Luniga. also closely
identified with the Huerta government,
arrive in Washington to confer with
Secretary of State Bryan.
Here they will join forces with Aurelio
Banquet, ex-minister of war under
Huerta. who is scheduled to arrive In
New York this week, and Eduardo Itur-
bide, who has been in Washington since
he was brought out of Mexico under
the protection of the State Department.
Ostensibly, il is understood, the pur-
pose of their conference with the Sec
retary of State is to advise against in
tervention. but from an authentic
source it is learned they are to tell the
Secretary that the "Cientifico" faction
is the only one which can bring order
and peace in Mexico and that for this
reason the United States should give
them aid.
Gumboa. Lujan. and Luniga are COM
ing from San Antonio, Tex. where they
have been connected with the 'cien-
tIfco" tunta' since the downfall OF the

HUGE DEFICIT IN
TREASURY SHOWN
Believed Now to Amount to
$120,000,000 May Be
$150,O0O, 900 at Year Close.

A Treasury deficit of almost s150,000,-
900 by the end Of the fiscal year. with
the possibility that the deficit may
reach that sum. is indicated by the
.dwindling revenues and excess disburse-
ments carried in the daily statements
OF the Treasury Department
If II had not been for the sale to
Greece Of two battleships. the Idaho and
Mississippi, which brought In approx
mately $4,000, 900 In cash, the working
balance in the Treasury today would
be about S2S,000, ,000,, instead of the
S4o, 100000 shown by the statements. A
balance in the general fund of at least
$50, 00O.o00 has heretofore been regarded
as advisable ....
The deficit in the Treasury for the
year Is now figured at $105,0OO, 900.
Postal receipts are falling or and, TAX
ing into consideration the decline in the
business of the Postoffice Department
forecastlng deficiency appropriations
the Treasury deficit probably amounts
today to $120.000,0 900.

cess Of ordinary disbursements over re.
ceipts for the year to be approximately
$s5 ,000,0 900. Adding payments, made or
