Abdul Hamid Planning
Return to Politics

London, March S.-Abdul Hamid,
former sultan Of Turkey, is free, ac.
cording to a Bucharest dispatch TO the
Central News today. The correspond.
ent says the former ruler Of Turkey
has surrounded himself with numerous
friends and plans to make dramatic
entrance into Constantinople.
The Central News message has not
been confirmed from any other source
but it has aroused great interest
among officials and observers Of the
international situation.
Government leaders speculated on
the possibility that the former sultan
has made n master stroke for the allies
which may force the present Turkish
government TO sue for peace at an
early date.
After he was dethrOned in 1909 BY
the Young Turks when they attacked
and captured Constantinople, Abdul
has been in seclusion. Except for
vague rumors that he had been i'm.
prisoned or assassnated no word re.
garding his movements has reached the
outside world.
1t is reported that his re.entry upon
the political stage OF Turkey, at the
head Of the peace party, may be part
Of plans carefully prepared by th Old
Turks to regain control Of the ottoman
empire.

This action on the part of the board
was precipitated out Of the recent ac.

to put Joe Keller to work as parole
officer of the prison to fill the vacancy
