Washington waits for further news on Carranza death
May 22. No report on Carranza’s death reached Washington from Mexico City as American desks logged only scattered dispatches. If killed, the manner could affect U S recognition policy, already outlined by Wilson after Huerta’s ouster, as Latin American recognition hinges on constitutional authority. The Mexican revolution shows little fighting so far, keeping the question of leadership unsettled.
