MEXICO CITY, Oct. 6.-Thirty-
eight persons are under arrest in con-
nection with an alleged plot to seize
possession Of Toluca, capital of the
State of Mexico, during the Centennial
celebration and place General Andres
Castro in control of the State Govern
ment. General Castro is accused of
being at the head Of the conspiracy.
He was a candidate against General
Abundio Gomez for election as Gov
ernor of the State, but was defeated.
His followers would not accept defeat,
and several attempts were made to as
sassinate General Gomez, making it
necessary for the successful candidate
to have his house closely guarded and
to have an escort when he moved
about.
