FIUME MATTER
 MAY CAUSE AN
 INTERNAL, WAR

ROME, Sept. 27 (by Associated Press) Official denial has been made here of the statement that President Wilson has demanded the expulsion of D'Annunzio from Plume, or that he has threatened an economic blockade of Italy.
 It is stated that President Wilson has sent two dispatches to the Italian government, each without a menace, saving that notifications in the Plume situation is possible if the basic prin- ciples involved are safeguarded.
 Italians Becoming Excited
 Alarming reports are current to the effect that civil war is imminent be- tween the socialists and natiOnalists and militarists. It is reported that several generals are planning to head the militarists, as they believe the gov ernment's weakness caused the pres ent deadlock regarding Plume.
 It is understood that the militarlsts are in league with D'Annunzio and it is reported that the navy is dissatis- fled with the lack of consideration shown by their Anglo-French col leagues, who, they say, act as though they were masters of the Adriatic.
 A million workmen are on strike and the number is growing.
