Withdrawal of Financial

ATHENS, Dec (By The Associated
Iress).--The note sent by the British.
French and Italian governments to
greece Thursday concerning the re
turn of former King Constantine to
power and the relations between them
and Greece in such an event caused
CONSERVATION here. 1t came as a COM
plctc surprise to the Greek Cabinet.
Allies Consider Reprisals
LONDON, Dec. 8 (By The Associated
Press).-Thc Allied Supreme Council
to-day publicly announced it would
withdraw financial support from
Greece should former King Constantine
be returned in the plcbiscite of Sun
day. The Council also considered ter
ritorial reprsals should he be en-
throned.
The Council decided that the Allied
premiers should meet a fortnight
hence to discuss conditions as they
exist after the Greeks register their
choice in the plebiscite.
The confcrees also resolved TO make
formal protest against the issuance
by the Greek government Of 200,OOo,-
600 drachmas in currency, despite the
opposition of the Allies.
Briefly summarized, the position Of
the Allies is that they want to warn
the Greeks vigorously that their gov
ernmcnt must conform, to a great ex
~
that if the admonitions in yesterdays
note and to-day's statement regarding
withdrawal of financial support are in
effective the Allies are prepared to
discussed to-day.

Allies to modify it, and they are keep

of those at the conference to-day ex-
pre- 3sed the belief that Smyrna would
be safer, from the Allied standpoint,

wish was expressed, however, not to
go so far as to threaten the Greeks,
before the plebiscite, with retaking
part Of the territory allotted them un-
der the Sevres Treaty.
Definite Action Not Decided
While the premiers are in accord that
the sternest measures should be taken
if Constantine is returned, they have
not agreed on what stand to take if
tn Greeks choose Prince George for
their king. In any event, they consider
another conference soon viii be ncces

Mrs. Muriel MacSwney, widow tt

welcome to this country last night over
the darkened reaches of the Narrows
shortly after the White Star liner
Celtic had dropped her anchor at Quar-.
antine.
1t came from members of the well

tify the figure of Mrs. MacSwiney in
the crowd of passengers WHO lined the
ratings of the Celtic from stem to
stern.
The welcome, vigorous though it was.
became drowned amid the impassioned
wordy battle that ensucd between the
proponents and opponents of the Irish
cause, and ultimately developed into

AS the Patrol circled the liner the
police boat John F. Hylan played its
searchlights upon the Celtic in an ef-
fort to pierce the darkness. Policemen
aboard tried vainly tc pick cut with
searching beams Mrs. MacSwincv and
her sister-inlaw, Miss Mary Mac

Three times the Patrol circled the
White Star liner, but each time those
aboard her were unable to get any re-

MacSwney was standing.

Republicans Are Agreed

That Thousands of Demo

Emil Seidel, Socialist Senator-e elect
Bronx, and his colleagues, Socialist
Asse mblymen- elect Samuel Orr, the
Bronx, and Charles Solomon, Brook
lyn, will not be compelled to face an
custer proceeding while Judge Nathan
l.. Miller is Governor, according to
Richard w. Lawrence, Republican
leader of the Bronx.
The status of the Socialists elected
N November was discussed at con-
ference this week at the St. Regis, at
tended by Governor Miller, Chair
man Glynn of the Republican State
Committee, Mr. Lawrence, Assembly,
man H. Edmund Machold, who is to be
the next Speaker, and others.
Judge Miller made it clear to the
leaders that, so far as he was con-
cerned, the Socialists would not be
disturbed. Later Mr.. Lawrence fol-
lowed up the subject by interviewing
other leaders, with the result that
there seems to be now an agreement
that the Socialists shall not be dis
turbed. Judge Miller made it clear
that he hoped to provide so many use
full subjects for the Legislature to
handle that there would be no time
for an custer action.
Convinced by Protest Vote
Mr. Lawrence laid before the Gov
ernorelect an analysis of the vote in
the Bronx, indicating that the aggre-
gate vote in the eight Assembly dis
tricts for members of Assembly was
1000 greater than the vote for the
Gocialist candidate for County Clerk.
He held that the 10000 votes over and
above the support gwen the Socialist
candidate for County Clerk was a pro-
test vote. He proved his case to the
catisfacton Of the conferees
1t is generally understood among
the Republican leaders that there
would have been no action against the
Socialists after the special election in
Sertember if Speaker Sweet had not
insisted. Following the reelection OF
the Socialists in the special election
there was a conference of Republicans,
including Judge Miller's representa-
tive, and all agreement was reached
tnaC there should be no radical action
taken. The custer vote, at the insti-
CATION OF Speaker Sweet, was a COM
plete surprise to the leaders, who
grudgingly allowed the Speaker to 20
rnrebuked, because they did not want
to force a quarrel. When taken to
task for breaking the agreement
Sweet is reported to have said that he
could not "hold" the upstate Assem-
blymen.
Folly to Stir Up Issue
Judge Miller concurs in the general
judgment that it is folly to make
trouble for the Socialists" said Mr..
Lawrence last night. GAS matter Of
