Convencionista issues

During 1915 the Villistas (or Convencionistas) retained control of a large part of the state and occasionally made incursions to capture and briefly hold towns such as Pachuca, Real del Monte and Tulancingo.

General Roberto Martínez y Martínez had been appointed governor when the Villistas took Pachuca in January 1915. On 8 June he was appointed by Villa General de Brigada, an appointment ratified by Zapata, as Martínez argued that he supported the Convention rather than Villismo itself. He recaptured Pachuca on 16 July and was interim governor from 24 to 28 July. When driven out, he fought in August at Actopan and took part in the defence of Ixmiquilpan against the Carrancistas. Martínez declared Ixmiquilpan, and then Actopan, the capital of the state.
