would also possibly appear before the
Senate committee. but this was definitely
denied by NJ Perez Romero. conndentiai
agent here of the constitutionalists and
brother Of Mrs. Madero. 1t was also re-

Never Thought of Intervening.
With Americans out OF Mexico. or ~

would feel less responsibility for the

a participant, the latter position being
one which, despite strong efforts from
