warrant for $4,000 drawn in Gruen-
ing'S favor. DR.. Gruening's telegram
said:
"So-called exposure relating to Mex
leo which has been appearing in the
Hearst newspapers, in the course Of
which, in the issue of November %, I
am portrayed as being authorized by
President Gales to study the situation
in regard to the British miners coal
strike in 1926, preliminary to Presi-
dent Gales sending, as the Hearst
papers allege, 100000 to the striking
coal miners, for which mission, the

Terming the photostat of the docu-
ment which purported to be warrant
ordering the Mexican treasury general
to pay him $4,000 obviously a forg-

not in England in 1926 and that he was
not in Mexico on the date that the
alleged order was issued.
