England Notifies Athens
Of Withdrawal Of Fl

ATHENS, Dec. 6. = (By Asso-
ciated Press.) = Returns from the
plebescite held throughout Greece
yesterday to decide whether Former
King Constantine should be recalled
to the Greek throne appear to in
dicate an overwhelming majority in
favor of Constantine remaining in
power.
The wild scenes which marked the
departure of Ex-Premier Venizelos
on November II were again re-en-
acted last evening in celebration of
the result of the plebescite, which
was known before the vote was taken.
A crowd estimated at 100000 includ-
ing all classes, from babies on, gath
cred in the Place de La Constitution,
near the kings palace, waving flags
of all nations, olive branches and
paintings and photographs of Con-
stantine. A large part of the crowd
was composed of women who clam
ored for permission to vote.
The votes cast in the plebescite
probably will be counted in detail
today. Those engaged in the count
ing quit work last night in order
that they might join in the carnival,
in which soldiers and women formed
rings like children dancing "ring
round the rosy" the women throw
ing confetti over their champions.

Wade Family Represent
ed At Hearing Before
Prison Board

Mr.. and Mrs. ]. P. Chapman, Mrs.
C. K. Chapman and Mac Chapman
left Sunday for Atlanta to be present
today at 8 o'clock to present a petit
ton for executive clemency for DR..
G. K. Chapman, now serving life
sentence in Milledgeville for the mur-
der Of Walter Wade.
Besides the names of 1,750 of
the most representative citizens of
Americus and Sumter county, the pc.
tition is further augmented by nu.
merous letters from professional men
of the city, together with strong af-
fidavits.
While it is the hope of riends of the
Chapman family here that their eff
forts will succeed, that the appeal
for clemency will be vigorously op-
posed was indicated by the presence
in Atlanta today also of Judge J. A.
HiXon, one of the special prosecu-
tors in the famous case, who is repre-
senting the relatives of Wade. Judge
Hixon expected to be present at the
hearing to observe the showing made
in behalf of DR.. Chapman. 1t is un-
derstood that members of the family
of Wade have expressed themselves
that they will oppose clemency to
the limit. 1t is stated that they were
asked to sign the petition for DIR.
Chapman's release and that they in
dignantly refused. A number of dis
interested citizens of the community
also refused to sign the paper, al
though the great majority readily at
tached their names.
