Denies Seeking Europe's Aid.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 20, 1913:
Limantour Says America Wouldn't Tolerate Foreign Intervention.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    PARIS, Sunday, July 20.— José Yves Limantour, the former Finance Minister of Mexico, was interviewed yesterday by the correspondent of The Paris Herald at Deauville, where he is spending his holiday.
    He indignantly denied the report that he was attempting to influence the European powers in the hope of hastening American recognition of Huerta as President.
    He also ridiculed the idea that England or any other power would attempt to intervene in Mexican affairs. America, he said, would never tolerate such interference, nor even joint action with herself.
    Continuing, the Mexican statesman said:
    "Those who complain of the injury done to American interests owing to the troubled conditions in Mexico, should remember President Taft's warning that Americans who remained in Mexico, despite the prevailing revolutionary warfare, would never be protected by their Government.
    "It must not be forgotten that the Mexicans are a high-spirited race and resist with their whole force any blow at the sovereign dignity of their country."
