Deputies Seek to Mediate.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 2, 1913:
    MEXICO CITY, Aug. 1.— The members of the Chamber of Deputies belonging to what is known as the reform group, who favor some plan for getting the Government and the rebels together with a view to settling the trouble in the republic, discussed the situation today and named a committee of intervention, which will endeavor to place the suggestions of the Deputies before President Huerta.
    The committee includes Luis Manuel Rojas, Second Vice President of the Chamber of Deputies, who last April sent formal charges to Secretary of State Bryan, in Washington, alleging that the American Ambassador to Mexico, Henry Lane Wilson, was morally responsible for the deaths of President Madero and Vice President Suarez.
    A persistent rumor here is to the effect that as a basis for peace forces are at work to induce President Huerta to resign in favor of a man acceptable to both sides and who later will call an election. The rumor is without confirmation.
