A copy Of the appeal sent by the
State Law Enforcement League of
San Francisco to Secretary Hughes
asking that the nine o clock border
closing regulations be kept in force
was received here today. Not only
is the request made that the early
closing order ho not rescindcd but
various reasons are set forth why,
in the opinion of the league, com

The president of the league, Ed

board includes prominent men and
women from all over the state.
Mr.. Grant s letter to Secretary

"Word has just reached us
