Thomas W. Lamont, of J. P. Morpan
d Co. and acting chairman of the In

Mexico, has completed arrangements to
go to Mexico City the latter part of
september to confer with representa-
tives of the Obregon government rela-
tive to the status of the external debt
OF the Uunited States of Mexico now
in default
The decision Of the banker to make
the trip is accepted in high financial
circles as an extremely important de-
veiopment and is believed to fore
shadow recognition of the Mexican gov
ernment by the United States. While
Mr.. Lamont would not say Yesterday
That his visit vas for the purpose of
working out definite plan for fund
ing the defaulted Mexican debt. which
IS represented by bonds held by in
vestors all over the world, the opinion
is held in Wall Street that results will
be accomplished at the impending con-
lerences which will be followed bv an
early resumption of interest payments
on the debt and the possible flotation
OF new consolidated loan.

ku-klux klan Inquiry Here
Is Ordered by Federal Court

Judge William B. Sheppard, of Flor
ida, sitting in United States District
Court here yesterday, instructed the
new Federal grand jury to investigate
"secret societies which are reported to
be interfering with the constitutional
rights of citizens"
While no mention was made by the
jurist Of the Ku-Klux Klan, it was
recognized generally that the courts
instructions and remarks from the
bench were directed at that organiza
tion, which is now under fire from sew
eral directions because of its alleged
infringements of the rights of Ameri-
can citizens.
Judge Sheppard pointed out to the
jury its right to investigate secret So
cieties (which may in any manner be
suspected of attempting to exercise i'm
proper jurisdiction or authority" The
court said:
ANY organization which holds its
meetings by the light of bonfires in
secret places whose members wear
white suits and masks. and which at

County Judge Reuben L. Haskell,
Of Brooklyn, was poor third, while
William M. Bennett received but Z

5000.
On the basis of returns from 2,160

John J. Lyons claimed the nomina-
ton of Curran over La Guardia last
night by majority which he esti-
mated would be more than $4,000.
Haskell's Vote Surprise
The amazing feature Of the con-
test was the overwhelming defeat of
Haskell in his own home borough of
Brooklyn, which had been conceded
to him by some Of the Curran cam
paign managers. In fact, it was
feared before the returns began to
come in that Haskell would carry
Brooklyn by a majority which might
make him a dangerous rival of the
Republican coalition designee.
Haskells defeat in Brooklyn was
credited to the women's vote. He
ran on single plank platform
opposition to the Eighteenth Amend
ment, the Volstead act and all dry
enforcement laws. This did not
make a strong appeal to the women,
as was evidenced by the returns
Koenig Credits Women
Samuel S. Koenig, president Of
the New York Republican County
Committee, made this comment:
"Much of Curran's success is due
to the enrolled women voters. They
turned out in large numbers, no
doubt prompted by the desire for q
better government and more schools"
Late returns from Queens showed
a victory for both the Republican
and Democratic organization tickets
in the primaries. Haskell was a
sorry disappointment in the borough,
where his campaign managers
thought he might win, but he ran
far behind Curran.
Borough President Maurice E.
Connolly ran between two and three
to one ahead Of former District At
torney Dennis O'Leary for Borough
President on the Democratic ticket.
Edgar F. Hazleton captured the Re-
publican nomination for. Borough

away with the nomination for Pres
ident of the Board of Aldermen, his
nearest rival, John j. Halligan, who
made his appeal on strictly partisan
grounds, making poor showing.
Curran literally swept Manhattan.
Incomplete returns gave him an esti-
mated vote in that borough of AZ, ,902,

Safe From Traffic.

An East side Italian woman, mother
of three small children, has invented
a way to prevent her offspring from
playing in the middle Of the street,
thus keeping them away from traffic
dangers. Every day she takes them
down to the front door Of the tene-
ment house in which they live, slips
a moose around each waist and neck,
and then ties the end Of the rope, with
about five feet leeway, to an iron rail
ing in front of the house, and the chill
dren play among themselves. She
slips a small paddock in between the
knots of the rope and the bars of the
iron railing, so that no one but herself
can unite it-DetrOit Free Press.
