Negotiations Move Toward Huerta Power Transfer at Niagara Falls
At Niagara Falls mediators and Mexican delegates sign a protocol transferring power from Huerta to a provisional president. A future Mexican government to be recognized by the United States will hold public functions until a constitutional president is inaugurated. The mediators also seek a suitable leader acceptable to all factions to pacify Mexico and enable a constitutional election. In Washington officials note the signing signals Huerta’s likely removal, while Huerta hires counsel Charles A. Towne to represent him. Saltillo reports Carranza’s note prompts Mexican constitutionalists to push for one of their own as provisional president under mediation.
