Is Decided upon by Secretary
Baker for 116 Members of
the National Guard.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Revers-
ing his previous decision. Secretary
Baker announced today that the 116
members Of the Texas national guard

Baker had intended to await the sign

Dick law requires an obligation to de-
tend the constitution and obey orders
Of the governor OF the state, but not
the orders OF the president. The Hay
