Mexican Consul Asks Protection Against Bandits in New York City. New York, Dec. 24. —Woodrow Wilson sent General Pershing into Mexico to chase bandits back in 1915, and now in 1920 President Obregon may return the compliment by sending an armed guard to the Mexican consulate here to protect it against New York bandits. Hamon P. De Negri, Mexican consul here, wired to President Obregon asking authorization for the employment of special police as a guard for the consulate because of the crime wave. The consulate often takes in from $15,000 to $20,000 a day in consular fees, it was said, and the presence of many valuable papers in the office also makes an extra guard advisable.
