WASHINGTON OPEL

Heads of Governmental Depart ments Will Not Disclose the Source of Information to the Statement of Sec. Baker.

Washington, Oct. 27.-The source of Secretary of War Bakers definite information" that an attack upon Americans had been arranged by enemies of the administration poll icy toward Mexico" was revealed to- day to the International News Ser vice. That source, according to an official in a position to know, was a New York newspaper that is anxious Iy seeking to aid in the reelection of the president.
 The information was conveyed to a staff officer several days ago, and was forwarded by him on October 24 to General Funston flor what it was worth"
 Secretary Lansing and Attorney General Gregory, today in unison with Secretary Baker, declined to name the source of the information All three cabinet officers insisted that the statement had mo political purpose, and that it's only object was to warn the conspirators and prevent the con summation of the plot. They all en- dorsed the statement issued by the secretary of state last night denying that the War Departments original announcement was intended to inti- lmate that Americans were implicated in the conspiracy.
 Secretary Baker dictated the fol- lowing to the press
 The obviously appropriate com ment of the secretary of state on the announcement preludes any possibil- ity of a misunderstanding. The thing is without political purpose and ought to be without political effect. The an nouncement will have served it's en- tire purpose if it does what MT. Lam sing suggests If it's serves notice upon the American people and pre- vents the attack These people in Mexico who have been raiding are opposed to this governments Mevican policy
 "The Mexican opponents of the de facto government of Mexico would, of course, be glad to complcate the re- Ilations between the United States and Mexico, and our information is that they think this an appropriate time to do so. The statement by the depart meut ought to discourage any adven ture in that direction
 "Everybody knows that large humber of men who have withdrawn from Mexico are in this country and are constantly agitating against the government of Mexico to the extent that any sympathy shown with these movements from the American side of the line is from these sources. The element of discord on this side of the border is the Mexican eXiles"
 Asked if there was any evidence that American citizens were involved in the conspiracy, Secretary Baker answered;
 "Oh. dear, mol"
 Secretary Lansing said the nfor- nation in the hands of the govern ment had been withheld "so we can go on and get further information. If we told the facts We know they could trace the thing" meaning the ac- cused persons might be able to learn Ithe source of this governments infor-
