the hostile attitude Of the fascist

fascist of general mobilization of
its forces throughout the country II
the cabinet declined to give up power.
The impression was advanced in
political circles that the Facta. minis

about the formation OF strong ad-

fascist. There was some speculation
as to whether the fascist would

LONDON, October 27.-An official
dispatch was issued in Rome this
morning on the serious situation
there. The rival elements are ap-
parently tampering with the tele-
graph, as the first two sections of
the official statement have not been
received, although filed at Rome.
Signor Giolitti Is receiving con-
gratulations. according to the last
section Of the statement received,
which says:
"Giolitti, speaking to delesa ticns
headed by Senator Marquis Disaluzzo,
who presented congratulations, said
Italy was going through grave mo-
ment. All the forces of the country,
he declared, must gather together to
solve it's economic and financial prob
lens. which otherwise presaged sad

the country possesses energies which
if properly handled would soon place
Italy on its feet again."

ROME. October 27.-Benito Musso-
lini. leader Of the fascist, Is expected
to arrive In Rome today, having been
called here by Premier Facta, who
wishes to discuss the situation with
him.
This action has again caused ru-
mors to circulate that the formation
of another Facta cabinet with the
participation of the fascist is pos
sibility.
All speculations concerning the So
luton of the crisis agree that it will
result in the advent to power of The
fascist. either alone or with Giolitti,
Orlando or Salandra, in case the Facta
