1t is known that later. when the
counting of the duke of the Abruzzi
was approaching a crisis, that Senator
Elkins requested friends in Rome to
ascertain and advise him what would
be the status of his daughter II she
married into the royal family. He
was notified that the marriage would
be considered morganatic unless the
Italian parliament passed an act giving
the daughter full recognition. He was
at the same time warned that the Ital-
ian parliament could subsequently re-
peal its legislation, leaving the mar
rage in the same position as II the
act of recognition had not been
passed.
1t is understood here that Senator
Elkins did not make any request of
the state department to ascertain for
him the status OF American women
marrying either member of the
royal family or an Italian nobleman
but had the investigation conducted
by one of his personal friends at that
