New York Times 100 years ago today, August 12, 1913:
Former Military Governor Says Huerta Is Not a Traitor.
MEXICO City, Aug. 11.— Charging him with being "a regular trafficker with the dignity of the Mexican race and the integrity of the republic," Ignacio Pesqueira, former Military Governor of the State of Sonora, has severed his relations with Venustiano Carranza, the rebel Governor of Coahuila, with whom he had been working in accord.
Pesqueira declared that Carranza had attempted treason against his country, while Provisional President Huerta, "disobedient to the will of the people though he may be, never was a traitor," according to a dispatch from Saltillo.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.— Constitutionalists here pronounce "entirely false the Mexico City report that Pesqueira has broken with Carranza. They are in communication with Pesqueira through their Junta at Douglas.
