Rebels Rely On President.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 26, 1913:
Their Envoy Says Japanese Scare Is a Huerta Bluff.
    EL PASO, Texas, July 25.— Eduardo Hay, special envoy from the Sonora Constitutionalists to the American Government, passed through here to-day on the way to Washington to plead for recognition of the rebels. Concerning his mission, he said:
    "We have fullest confidence in President Wilson. I am going to urge him to let both sides in Mexico have all the ammunition they can take into Mexico and let it be a fair fight.
    "This Japanese scare from Mexico City is only a bluff made by Huerta to provoke bad feeling against the Americans."
    Hay was President of the Mexican Chamber of Deputies under President Madero.
