Officials Silent
Regarding Return
OF Constantine
Plans for Journey Are Still
Discussed, but Evidence
of Reaction in Public
Sentiment Is Apparent

ATHENS, Dec. 10 (By The Associ-
ated Press s).-It is declared former
King Constantine will come back to
Greece on board the Greek battleship
Averof, although it was reported early
this week that the warship was being
held in the harbor of Constantinople.
Arrangements have been made to send
the steamship Iperochi to Brlndisi to
take journalists there to greet Con-
stantine.
In official circles, however, there is
much reticence regarding the return of
the former King. George Rhallis, the
Premier, was asked yesterday if Con-
stantine was coming back to Greece,
and answered: THAT is q matter to
be decided by him."
There are evidences of reaction in
sentiment regarding Constantine, and
the 10000 Greeks who voted against
his return are being compared to the
10000 .lthenians and Plataeans who
defeated the Persians at Marathon.
Rcyalist circles have been angered by
charges made by former Premier Vent
zelos that the plebiscite held last Sun
day was fraudulent.
Only 1888 Oppose Constantine
Returns from the plebiscite contain
ing the vote of thirty-seven depart
ments and also the army in Thrace and
Smyrna show that 999 ,954 ballots were
IN favor of the return of Constantine,
while 10, 83 opposed him. The vote of
four departments has not as yet been
reported. In the elections hel1 in No
vember, 1914, 774,76O ballots were cast.
A Lucerne dispatch states that an old
letter containing an appeal for funds
sent to the late King Alexander by Con-
stantine was withheld from Alexander.
Constantine, it is asserted, borrowed
money from Princess Christopher, for
merly Mrs. ". B. Leeds.
Minister of War Gounaris apparent
ly is shaping his course in the belief
that the British are not opposed to
the return of Constantine 1t is be-
ing urged in some quarters that the
British needing the Greek army to op-
pose the Turkish Nationalists in Asia
Minor, will restore credits to Greece
within a few months.

Lawyers Fight to
SaveCassidy From
Chair Toni sht
Court Directs Prosecutor to
Show Cause WhyNew Trial
Should Not Be Granted on
Evidence Given by Doctors

A last hour effort to stay the execu
ton tonight OF James F. l"Bun")
Cassidy was set in motion Yesterday.
The condemned man is one Of four
convicted of the murder of a subway
ticket agent in the Bronx.
Acting on what they called newly
discovered evidence, Thomas J. O'Neili
and James j. Barry, as attorneys for
Cassidy, obtained from Justice Guy At
District Attorney Martin Of Bron,.
County 10 appear this morning before
Justice Uierncy to show cause why
Cassidy should not be granted new
trial. 1t was Justice Guy who sigred
a similar order in the case of Charles
Stielow, who was almost IN the shadow
Of the electric chair when the excsu-
ton plans were halted and who later
upon obtaining q new trial was ac-
quilted.
In the Cassidy case it was contended
by his attorneys yesterday that the
death house prisoner IS insane ard
that AZ his trial this was not brouGh'
to the attention of the court. MIR.
O'Neill and Mr.. Barry said that after
a reprieve granted to Cassidy and his
associates by Governor Smith three
physicians were appointed BY the Gov
clnOr to examine @SsidY lhey re-
ported that wnifc they were unable to
discover any evidence of psychosis, the
prisoner undoubtedly had the men
tality of a child.
Besides granting the order to show
cause, Justice Guy appointed Michael
j. Horan as referee TO take the test-
mony of the three physic ans, which
will be used in determining whether
the convicted man should have a new
trial on the ground o. his mental
status.
Justice Guy explained to Cassidy s
lawyers that, the Court Of Appeals hav-
ing affirmed the conviction, he was
without power to halt the execution
tonight. He adv sed the lawyers to
communicate with the Governor and
ask him TO grant another reprieve in
the case. Mr.. O'NcilI and Mr.. Barry
at once sent telegram to Governo,
SIN tn, asking delay Of the planned
eloctrocution.
Mr.. Barry also sent a dispatch to the
state cXecutioner at Sing Sing, saying
he would hold him personally liable il
he executed Cass dy tonight until
s~.nc official tion had been taken
upon the ncw appileation. Mr.. Barry

vice of the Attorney General in the
