OADlNEl ANU EVEN klNG HIMSELF IS THREATENED
 Parliament Meets on December 1- Socialists Intend to Be Present and Will Hiss and Hoot When King Delivers His Message-May Also Even Make Personal Attack. Rome, Nov. 21. (By The Associated fress) )-Rumo of the widest char acter regarding the possibility of a very serious crisis involving not only the cab1net but also the reigning house of Italy, are in circulation as the opening of parliament, set for De- cember 1. aDproaches
 The socialists, proud of their recent victory, are eager to continue what they call their march forward" The older, more authoritative mem bers of the party, however, such as De putty Turati, leader of the ,Intransigeants Deputy Trever, and Signor Modigliana, are against any: excesses
 Bolsllevism Is Feared. ..~
 The new elements which have en- tered the z socialist parliamentary group are, declared to be animated by revolutionary sentiments and to favor an extreme policy which, in their opinion, will inevita bly lead to the advent of Bolshevism in Italy. This section now is undoubtedly tho most numerous, if not the most inl- portant one, in the party. It is con. sidered that it will almost certainly assume command of the party because or the audacity and determination of its members to attain control by what ever means ssetns best sto them, 4@
 Members of this section are quoted as declaring that, comprising, as they do more than 1sO Hive wires'' among the $50 deputies, the remainder will not dare oppose them, and that they will be, able to accomplish such su- prene act of a rebellion which will overthrow the tottering government of the bourgeoisie."
 Will Insult King.
 Formerly the socialists never at tended the opening of parliament, ab- senting themselves so that they might avoid being present when the king de- livered his speech from the throne and to escape taking the prescribed oath in the kings presence. The newly elected extreme socialists, how ever, now insist that the entire group should attend the ceremony, hiss the King, insult him the moment he ap- peared and prevent him from speak Ing. They have even gone so far as to threaten that he would be attacked on his way to the chamber or upon his return.
 All this it is pointed out may be muck more than is possible of accom- plishment. Nevertheless 1t has had the effect of making the responsible authorities restless and anxious It is conceded among them that there is no measure which it will be possible to take to prevent 160 members whis- tling and shouting and making it inn possible for the king to be heard.
 No Rules to Prevent.
 The regulations of the parliament do not provide for any such conting- ency as Is thus threatened, for it is stipulated that no police or armed force cal be, employed in the hall where the senators and deputies meet. There would be no means of applying coercion, as the meeting Decembe i VIII Ue I-Ac AlSI SdlAcllIlS Ol the new body, and the rules of the new cham Der for maintaining order will not then have been formulated. Ut The council of ministers has been meeting almost daily to discuss- this grave situation as we'll as the Adriatic com mplications. ....-...s . -. Recent Rome dispatches have hint ed at possible, demonstration against l King Victor Emmanuel by anti-con- stitutional deputies on the occasion of the delivery of the speech from the throne, and reports were circulated that the speech might be delivered by Premier Nitti or some other official instead of the king who left Rome. ] last week.

Italia was quoted as denying that the king would not ,te present at the opening of the ! parliament and as adding that all the i Constitutionalist deputies stood ready l to make, an enthusiastic demonstra- 1 ton for the sovereign.
