The Consul at Nuevo Laredo (Boyce) to the Secretary of State
[Received 9:52 p.m.]
John A. Valls, formerly Prosecuting Attorney, Webb County, Texas, who is a bitter enemy of General Calles, is again Prosecuting Attorney. He stated positively to me that General Calles would be arrested if he passes through Texas en route from New York to Mexico. Am unable to find out if Valls is bluffing. Other local authorities know of no warrant against Calles but fear Valls may carry out threat. Valls states only diplomatic immunities recognized by the President can prevent his action. Local authorities trying to dissuade Valls. I will telegraph result.
Embassy informed.
