indignlties and fortunes inflicted there by
Huerta upon Americans were nonsense.
He said that, whatever the cause, Huerta
was uniformly kind TO Americans during
the winter Mr. Hays description of the
dictator was THAI OF a strong man, "un-
moral rather than immoral" a peculiar
mixture Of shrewdness and childlike sim
plcity.
When Huerta is in his cups. Mr. Hay
said. he talks Of invading the United
States and capturing Chicago. Many Of
the Americans in Mexico City regard
Huerta as head and shoulders above any
other Presidential contender. Mr.. Hay
