Washington, Sept. 2.—Action by the labor department of New York look ing to the possible deportation of Lu:s Angel Firpo. Argentine prize fighter, was ordered today by the Depart ment of Labor. Commissioner of Immigration Cur ran at Ellis Island was Instructed by Acting Secretary of Labor White to .order Firpo before him for an addi tional examination on the basis of new evidence submitted to the labor department by Canon William Chase of New York.

Labor department officials were not inclined to discuss the Firpo case in detail, but it was understood Curran would issue a warrant for Firpo's ar rest as the first step In the new pro ceedings. Canon Chase predicted that the Flrpo-WIlls fight would be called off and that Firpo would be ordered de ported within the next few days. Fir pp'e troubles started when he entered the United States in July. On the same ship which brought him from Buenos Aires was Miss Louredes, South American girl.

The first specific dharge made against Firpo was that he per jured himself in explaining to the immigration authorities at Ellis Is land when he arrived, for Miss Lour des’ presence on the ship. The per jury charge is now pending against him In New York.
