London Press Interested.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 17, 1913:
Intervention Would Mean Long Guerrilla War, Says Post.
    LONDON, Thursday, July 17.— The London morning papers are interested in the possibility of the United States being obliged to intervene in Mexico. The Morning Post in an editorial says:
    "It would be a ceurious instance of the irony of fate if such a policy were forced on the Wilson Administration, and as intervention would mean a long and costly guerrilla war, it may be assumed that President Wilson will not take action unless absolutely compelled to do so. But he cannot tolerate indefinitely the continuance of anarchy."
    Special to The New York Times. WASHINGTON, July 16.— Emeterio de la Garza came to Washington several weeks ago with the apparent purpose of seeing President Wilson. He professed to be an accredited representative of President Huerta, and as such desired to establish friendly relations with the Wilson Administration. President Wilson declined to see him. It was supposed here that the President's refusal was based on the ground that if Señor de la Garza were received by him it might be alleged that recognition had been given to the Huerta Government.
    It was said in Washington to-night that Señor de la Garza was an intimate, friend of President Huerta, who had sent him to the United States to ascertain the feeling here in regard to conditions in Mexico, and particularly the attitude of the Wilson Administration toward the Huerta regime. The information he received, it was said, was far from satisfactory, and his return to Mexico was regarded as signalizing the failure of part of the mission on which he was sent, which, according to report, was to gain the good will of the American Government for Huerta.
    Señor de la Garza is credited with having been a partisan of Porfirio Diaz, ex-President of Mexico. As far as known here, he has not held any public office in that country. It is said he is eager to restore in Mexico the conditions that existed when Diaz was in power.
