Figures on the result of the poll
will not be made public until the
work has progressed farther. The
vote is being taken through cIganiza-
tions in churches. Men from 123
different churches have enlisted in
the project, and the dry workers are
convinced that the poll will provide
them with a record that not only
will prove reliable forecast on the
election, but will serve as useful
club for challeneers in districts
where the ward hselcrs grow several
votes where but one grew before.
From the returns that have been
received thus far. and from reports
made by various canvassers the dry
campaign managers have arrived al
the following deductions on how
various sections OF the city will vote
on the prohibition issue in Novem-
ber:
Central high school district, two to
one dry, old Deiray. two to one wet
north end, three TO two dry; east

QUESTION POWER
OF CARRANZA
TO CATCH VILLA
By CARL ID. GROAT

tStdn Correspondent United Press.
NEW LONDON, Conn, Sept %.
Carranza's apparent failure to di-
rect an effective pursuit of the Vii
lista forces that attacked Chihuahua
City may radically affect the tenta-
tive plans OF the Mexican-American
peace conference for a border pa
troll
The Villa raid itself did not alter
the plans OF the conference since
the Villistas were beaten of with
heavy losses, according to Carran-
zista reports. But the American
commissioners did not believe that
Eien. Trevino, the Carranza com
mander al Chihuahua, would neglect
TO start Immediately in vigorous
pursuit OF the Villistas and dispense
the bandits.
There has been no indication that
this has been done. Trevinos fail
ure to take the aggressive against
the bandits has again raised the
question as to whether Carranza Is
able 10 organize an effective patrol
TO suppress banditry, despite his
promises.
