Germany Favors Huerta.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 10, 1913:
Denies, However, Having Knowledge of Wilson's Message.
    BERLIN, Aug. 9.— Reports from Washington that President Wilson's message to Provisional President Huerta of Mexico had been sent also on behalf of other interested nations are incorrect, so far as Germany is concerned. The German Foreign Office announced to-day that it did not know the contents of President Wilson's message.
    Officials here avoid carefully any suggestion of an attempt to influence President Wilson's policy in regard to Mexico, but it is apparent that recognition of the Government headed by Huerta is favored in this capital. Many references are made by officials to the recommendation of diplomats in Mexico, including the German Minister there, in favor of recognition, which Count von Bernstorff, German Ambassador to the United States, unofficially called to the attention of the United States Government.
    It is not believed here in official circles that Provisional President Huerta will oppose John Lind when he arrives in Mexico City.
