GENERAL ELECTIONS WERE
 HELD SUNDAY IN GREECE

Athens, Nov. 14 (By the A. P).-Gen-4 eral elections were held throughout Greece today, and on the outcome is ex pected to hinge the question of whether former King Constantine shall return to tIe throne or remain in exile in Switzer- land.
 Demetrios Gounaris. former premier and leader of the opposition, who was the opponent of Premier Venizelos in the bal loting, was the candidate of the elements desiring the election of Constantine. NJ. Nenizelos, on the other hand, is unalter- ably opposed to the return of the fallen monarch.
 bitter campaign has been waged by both sides and no matter which side car ries the elections trouble is feared. Claims ot certain victory were made by both the Fenizelistas and the royalists, with indi- cations that NJ. Venizelos would poll a big majority in the new provinces of Macedonia and Thrace and the islands. but that old Greece would witness a fierce struggle.
 Gounaris made preparations for quick | flight in case the elections went against
 him, having requested passports to Italy on Friday last. Exiled during the war on | the charge of high treason he was per-
 mitted, with the approval of NJ. Venizelos, to return to take part in the campaign, but should he fail of election his parlfa. mentary immunity would expire innedi- ] ately. In case Premier Venzelos is suc-
 cessful he will be given a free hand in the selection of a new head of the state. Prince Paul. who was offered the throne
 on the death of the late King Alexander, not having as yet formally accepted the ] governments invitation to return from Switzerland and rule Greece.
 The results of the election ab~ not be l known until Monday night, ;s there is
 the army vote in Smyrna and other dis l tant points to be taken into considera- | ton. It is expected that the soldiers will ; support Venizelos.
 l Prior to the balloting the Venizelists | declared themselves confident of victory 1 They claimed the certain return of 15e i deputies, but they need 250 or more tc overwhelm the royalists and demonstratc tc i fully that the country endorses the pas i four years policy.
 The premier's party looks for a bis : majority in Attica and other parts of olC , Greece and also in Thessaly and Greciar l Isles such as Crete and asserts tha | there will be a close vote in Constan- tines stronghold, Peloponnesus
 ' Summing up the forecasts brought t, him in his modest home next door to tn, American legation, the premier said con
 fdently: "The vote will show the def
 mite determination of the people to real ize their destiny and hold their place a
 a civilizing factor in the Ne / East
