Impression Prevails That
Conditions Must Improve
Before Action Is Taken.
PRESIDENT-ELECT SURE
TO FEEL WAY CAREFULLY
Efforts Made to Reach Him by
Mexicans Claiming to Repre-
sent Various Factions.

| POINT ISABEL, lex, november IL
Proximity to the Mexican border has
! brought the question of the future re-
lations between the United States and
Mexico more quickly to the attention
of President ELECT Harding than might
otherwise have been the case. Sena
tor Albert B. Fall of New Mexico
| chairman of the Senate committee
which has been investigating Mexican
affairs and mentioned as a possible
member of the cabinet, is coming here
tomorrow to join Senator Harding and
will accompany him to New Orleans
next week.
The impression here is that matters
have not radically improved in Mexi-
CO and there are hints that the inau-
guration Of President-elect Obregon
may bring on counter-reyolution
Efforts Of all sorts have already been
made to get at Senator Harding's
mind by Mexicans claiming to repre-
sent various factions.
Senator Harding has stated. more
over. that he was under no illusion
as to what some Americans may be
doing in Mexico in claiming to repre-
sent him. That's an old game. The
point is that President elect Harding
knows he is up against a tough prob
lem In respect to our turbulent neigh
Dor across the Rio Grande. He knows
that most anything is likely to hap
pen and ne has made up. his mind to
puts his feet. He has q great deal
to talk to Senator Fall about in this
connection.

All the members Of the party are
having a hard time enjoying them
selves. with the. possible exception Of
Senator Harding, who has simply
gotten SO fascinated with tarpon Ash
ing that he has deserted golf. Point
Isabel itself IS SO DEAD by day that
