New York Times 100 years ago today, July 31, 1913:
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    HAVANA, July 30.— Fitzgerald Slocum, the Mexican correspondent of The Los Angeles Times, whom Gen. Victoriano Huerta, Provisional President of Mexico, recently deported, was summoned to Washington to-day for the purpose of testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
    Mr. Slocum has spent the last two years in Mexico. He describes conditions there as much worse than they have been represented.
