What does this mean? I do not think I understand. Do you have a vector 
with one element (New Mexico) in it?  I think we need a few more 
details, like what it is exactly you have (class of your data), and what 
you want to do with it.  If your string is in a variable 'x', try str(x) 
and class(x).
