BROWNSVILLE, Texas, May 8.-
Monterey, the capital of Nuevo Leon,
holds the key to the situation at Mata-
moros, opposite here, the only impor-
tant Mexican port east of Nuevo La-
redo, and If Monterey declares for
Obregon quick changes in all Mexican
garrison towns on the lower border are
expected.
Gen. Alfredo Ricaut, in command of
the forces of the northeast, with head-
quarters at Saltillo. is a nephew of
President Carranza and it is assumed
in revolutionary circles here that he
will remain loyal to Carranza to the
last. Gen. Rafael Colunga, command-
er of Matamoros and the Mexican gar-
risons of the lower border, is said to
be an intimate friend of Ricaus and
not likely to change his affiliations un-
less there is no further hope for the
central government.
The Matamoros population is Obre-
gonista in sympathies and should a
change come, as is likely to occur at 1
any time, serious trouble is not ex-
pected. A fiesta has been in progress

as a candidate for the fifth time for
the Socialist presidential nomination.
Leaders of the Socialist party at the
convention here were tbs sponsors for
this statement tonight.
Tomorrow's meeting in Madison
Square Garden is regarded as the
“most important" ever held by the So-
cialist party of America, according to
committeemen.
Morris Hillquit, Seymour Stedman of
Chicago, Victor Berger, unseated
United States representative from Mu-
waukee, and Oscar Ameringer of Okla-
homa City are scheduled to pronounce
orthodox views on the leading political
topics. These are expected to include
amnesty for political prisoners, the
government's attitude toward strikers,
free speech,' free press and free as-
semblage, taxation. socialization of
basic Industries, Attorney General Pal-
mer's campaign of “repression,'’ depor-
tations, war profits and profiteering,
the League of Nations, Independence
of Ireland and self-determination for
small nationalities.
Today the convention cheered Hill-
quit’s arraignment of the administra-
tion at Washington as a betrayer of
radical principles President Wilson
was said to have campaigned for prior
to the 1*1* election, at which time,
HlUqult declared. Socialist votes elect-
ed him.
In the first "keynote" address of the
session, HlUqult as chairman of the
convention for the day. predicted that
the Socialist party ticket would roll
up more than 2,000,000 votes in Novem-
ber and probably triple its member-
ship before the end of the year.
The convention opened with the
singing of the Internationale, the Mar-
seillaise and the Hymn of Free Russia.

I accepted their challenge to submit
the records of the Johnson campaign
in Los Angeles county along with
theirs to a public audit and asserted
that if they had the courage of their
bluff the record would show on your
behalf in Los Angeles county the worst
saturnalia of political extravagance
that ever was exposed or conducted in
Southern California. In the same
statement I gave in full the receipts
and expenditure* of the Johnson or-
ganization up to the day of the elec-
tion. I asserted and challenged your
people to deny that their expenditures
in Los Angeles county amounted to
many times our own.
"It may interest you to know that
neither your Mr. Lucey nor any one
else connected with your Los Angeles
organization has peeped about cam-
paign expenditures since my challenge
was published. I trust this statement
is sufficiently convincing, so that you
will not again be led Into the error
of asserting that you had either an
amateur organization or an Inexpensive
one in this state."

Secretary W. E Long Is of the opin-
ion that fate was very unkind to many
of the commercial secretaries who went
to New Orleans for the annual meet,
especially the Texas delegation. About
the time the Tezas delegation got as far
as Beaumont. Mr. Long reports. offi-
cers found a regular ”n*st" of whisky
hidden along the banks at the Neches
river. Soon after an ths secretaries
reached New Orleans a raid was made
on sea** hidden “red-eye" there, and
that lot, too, was "arrested "
Not that Secretary Long would have
had to do with these intoxicants—not
by any means, as all his friends know
— neverthelesn, he says he would have
preferred that th* discovery bad been
made before or after the secretaries
arrived. He states they all had a
good time, bat none of them ware met
with any manner of intoxicants, and
neither was any nuspestion made as
to where such might be located.
Anyway, the coincidence eaused a
good deal of joking by friends of the
secretaries, while they joined in the
seat of the occasion and enjoyed the
Joke as well as did the jokemakers.
