DEFEAT LEADS
VENuZELOS TO
QUIT POLITICS
Ex-Premier of Greece
Dependent Because of
Royalist Victory.

Paris, Nov. 23.-(By Associated
Press.)-Former Premier venizelos
Of Greece is Respondent over his
defeat 1t the polls on Nov. IA, and
may retire permanently from poll
tics. In any event, he will await
definition by the powers Of their
attitude toward Greece. said, Soph-
ocles venizelos, son Of the former
premier, to Paris correspondents
at Nice this morning.
Reasons for the defeat Of the
Venizelist party which have been
reported from Athens were con-
flrmed by young Venizelos. He
said Venizelists thought they had
won. even when they were hope
lessly beaten, because the royalists
had adopted the ruse of going to
the polls wearing Venizelist
badges. He declared the principal
reason for the defeat was the fact
that former friends Of former King
Constantine spent much more mon
ey tina the Venizelists we're aware
of. He asserted such methods were
repugnant to the former premier,
who refused to fight the campaign
by other than the fairest means.
Allies Must Consent.
The Hague, Nov. 23.-(By Associ-
ated Press.) Former Emperor Will
liam Of Germany could go to Corfu
only with the consent of the allied
powers, the Associated Press was
informed at the foreign Office to-
day. This information was elected
by an inquiry relative to reports
that the former emperor's villa on
the Island of Corfu was being re-
paired and that he was expected to
60 there soon. The Dutch govern
ment has given assurances to the
allies that Count Hohenzollern will
be guarded at Doom.
Even il King Constantine, bro
ther-in-l law of William, were to re-
gain the Greek throne" said an Of
fetal today, "and should actually
invite him to resume his residence
il the old castle Of Achilleion, il
would be only by the consent OF
the. allies that we would let him
leave the prescribed area Of Doom
Nothing Of this kind has been tax
en- up with the allies" a.. !.
There Is an impression at the
foreign office that the entire story
relative to Corfu is q fantasy.
