daily presence of a man who stationed
himself across the street was con-
strued by Ganzales to mean that he

agents of the national association.
That business, II was suggested, was
a meeting Of prominent Mexicans.
Coincident with Gonzales presence
I'm New York was that Of Esteban
Cantu, former governor of Lower Cali

Carranza,s national forces. The Ameri-

that "Fuentes" means Lucio Blanca.
