MexicanS Here Doubt
Huerta Will Take Field
Against RevoIutionists

Reports that Gen. Huerta plans TO turn
the presidency of Mexico over to En-
rique Gerostieta, minister of justice.
early next year. and take the field per-
>onally against the revolutionists, aroused
much interest today in official circles
here, but were secuted as probably base
less by Mexicans in sympathy with the
rebels
Recent statements by President Wilson
that not only must Gen. HuerJo go. but
also all that he stands for" were taken
% mean that any man placed IN office
by the Mexican president would have no
more chance of recognition by the United
States than he has himself.
Agents of the conStitutionaliStS here
said that Senior Herostieta would be just
as unacceptable to them as is Huerta
and that if he should be placed in office
the revolution would he continued just as
aggressively. They added that the popu-
lar idea that Gen. Huerta is a great
soldier is false.
Gen. Huerta's chief claim to being a
great military leader, they said, rested
on his defeat of Gen orosco witt =
greatly superior force during the Madero
regime. and his defeat of some Indians
by poisoning their drinking water.
