MEXICO CITY, Jan. 10, The nine
Representatives Of Texas goodwill
TO Mexico were digesting several i'm
potrant pieces Of information along
with the varied entertainment offer
ed them today. Probability that
Tampico will be left out of the direct
air mail route from Mexico City to
the border, and positive assurance
that the Mexican government will
meet the Z. S. mail line at any place
that country may designate, was the
gist of a statement made by POST
master General Hinijosa to members
of the party yesterday.
The route beng given the most Sc
rious consideration il that through
Queretsro, San Luis Potosi, Saltillo,
Monterrey, Matamoros and Browns
vile, G. c. Richardson, manager OF
the Brownsville Chamber OF Com
merce and other members of the par
~ were told. IL the proposed line
we're routed through 1ampico, only
that city and Matamoros would
be served. Hiuijoss told the party.
A delegation, in which a repre-
sentative from Laredo is included
will call on the government within
the next few days, to urge that city
as a port Of entry. and he cannot
commit himself definitely until their
case has been heard. he stated.
The party were guests at a series
Of functions in their honor Monday,
and Tuesday were scheduled to call
upon President Gales. Probability
that a start back to tie United
States would be made Wednesday
was expressed by members OF the
party.
