U.S. Ambassador to Mexico summoned to Washington
Acting on presidential instruction Secretary Bryan cabled Ambassador Wilson in Mexico City to report to Washington for a conference on Mexican affairs. Britain and other powers press the U.S. to guarantee peace in Mexico under the Monroe Doctrine, threatening to end hopes of delaying action until after October elections. Conspicuous anti-American sentiment grows in Mexico. Senora Madero, widow of the murdered president, believes Huerta's government nears its end. Fifteen conspirators in a plot to assassinate Huerta reportedly shot at sunrise. A separate note recalls a traffic accident involving Senator Kenyon of Iowa, whose car plunged into a ditch but left him unharmed.
