Mexican Decree Calls

New York, left New York for this
city yesterday and II is possible his
trip has some connection with the re-
quest that the decree be held in abey'

nature Of President Obregon to be-
come effective.
Secretary de Ia Huertas decision
was sudden as he had personally given
copies of the document to the news.

sentatives of the American oil com.
panies had been furnished copies.
II was not believed that the secre.

men or the bankers. but that he

he broke all the rules OF the wrestling

A number Of Greeks stopped the
