AlexHortis5 is right, drugs never came up during the meeting. They might have if the staties did not interrupt the meeting, it has been reported that that day was going to be the main discussion of why everyone was called there at the meeting. We know from informants and wire taps that at least a half a dozen members from the sicilian mafia were there along with a couple members from Naples. The farthest they got were reminding the bosses of all families, that no other family could operate in their city or territory without the boss of that city giving permission to do so no matter how powerful that family or boss might be, this seems to be aimed at the Bonanno, Gambino, and Genovese families. In the Gambino family for instance, Albert Anastasia wanted a piece of Santo Trafficante's casino operations in Cuba, and Frank Scalise put a drug pipeline from New York City to the west coast through Chicago without even asking for permission from Chicago. Joe Bonanno had northern California in his grasp and was trying to muscle in on southern California, much to the dislike of Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, and the Los Angeles crime families. The Genovese family were encroaching on Boston and Elizabeth crime families as well. They also put ineffect that no new members could be made into the families, this does not seem to be a national enforcement, but only to the Tri-State area as to avoid any more violence or wars in the New York families, there is evidence that this was not heavily enforced as some members were made during the ban in New York.

There is a story that because of the violence in New York and territorial disputes, the bosses from around the country were meeting to decide to continue the Commission or to disband it. Another thing that keeps getting me thinking is that sometime in the 1950's, a rule was made were American members who were made in a U.S. family could not be made again in a different family from Sicily or Italy and via versa. I wonder if it was at this meeting that rule was put into affect. The fact of the matter is that we will never really know what the main reason for the meeting was.

Carmine Galante was registered at a motel, but was not caught as far as I know. Frank Garofalo along with his brother Vincent were able to escape due to having a small meeting with Jimmy Lanza and Joe Cerrito at their motel room which all four did indeed escape when they heard about the raid on the radio.
