MAXIMlLISTS TO

TO OWN LIKING
BY JOSEPH SHApLEN.

Stockholm, Dec. 21.-The Bolslieviki
are preparing a "rump" convention to
replace the constituent assembly,
where they are a minority, according
to word from Petrograd today.
The Swedish Maximalist leader, DIR.
Hoglund. wired here today the sub.
stance Of an interview which he h. d
with NJ. Uritszy. a prominent Bolshe-
Wiki in Petrograd.
Critsky, he said deried that the
final result of the Russian constituent
assembly elections had become known
He declared the assembly would be
opened within five or six days and pre-
dicted the likelihood of the democratic
parties there in splitting with the left
or Bolsheviki wing.
The Bolsheviki, it was asserted.
would then form an assembly of their
own, in conjunction with the Trotzks-
Lenine ring.
IN THE MINORITY.
Uritsky was quoted as declaring the
the assembly on account of their min
ority.
The government was understood to
be considering a new question of dis
solving the whole assembly.
THE question |. very complicated. !
Hoglund wired. TT Is impossible 70
foretell the outcome. Much depends on
the attitude of the garrison and the
proletariat of Petrograd. They can
force an open conflict between the as
sembly and the Bolsheviki."
Only few cadet deputies have been

deayors to this end, the newspaper as
