Her Representative,


ConstantinopIe. Oct. 5 (by the
Associated Prcss.) 1.-The question
of the evacuation of ThraCc was
the cause of the rupture I'm the
Mudania conference, il was an
nounced at late hour tonight.
The attitude of the Turks and the
Greeks was very bellicosc, threat
cning the success of the confer
ence.
lsmet Pasha, in a fiery mood
upset the conference today. He de-
clared that the Turkish army must
enter Thrace Immediately and his
tone was determined and defiant.
General Harrington attempted t.
reason with him after the fashion
which had proved to effective in
dealing with minor preliminarles,
but Ismet was adamant.
To some, it appeared tonight that
the conference was at an end, but
there is expectation that the dip-
lomats will make a strong effort
to smooth out the difficulties to-
morrow.
Turkey has set her heart on
Thrace and must have it immed
ately," said Ismet. We will have
it peacefully if possible" he added.
then paused for minute to make
more effective his next deliberate
phrase, but, If not peacefully, We
have the means to enforce our ad-
ministration. And we must do it,
and shall do it,"
Ismets position was completely
at variance with the terms of the
allied note, which is the basis OF
the negotiations. General Haring
ton explained, partly to the Turkish
leader and partly to the allied asso-
ciates.
General Mobelll endorsed and
supported the British generals
statements forcefully, when sud
denly a new bombshell was thrown
into the gathering by Genera,
Charpy, the French representative,
who announced abruptly that he
had been instructed by his govern
ment to support the Turkish de-
mands.
1t was evident that the allied
camp was divided against itself,
and that the situation had become
untenable.
The British and Italian delegates
conferred together for a moment
then asked that the conference b.
adjourned until the following day,
Constantinople, Oct. 3 (by the
Associated Press. Abruptly. al
though not unexpectedly, the Mu-
dauia conference came to a halt
this afternoon. When it will be
resumed is a matter of conjecture.
Brigadier General Harrington,
commander of the allied forces and
head of the allied delegation, re-
turned this evening on the battle
ship Iron Duke, and the Italian
delegation also came to CONSTANT
nople. 1t is understood that the
allied generals will go into confer
ence with the high commissioners
on certain serious differences
which have arisen at Mudania.
Various explanations for the sep
aration of the delegations are Civ
en- in the rumors which quickly de-
Veloped here. The one most gem
orally credited relates to the evac
uation of Constantinople. Accord
ing to unofficial information, Is
met Pasha, the nationalist repre-
sentative, suddenly raised the
question, at the afternoon confer
ence, of the evacuation of Constan
tinople. General Harrington replied
that that would come after the
conclusion of the treaty, as set
IT,, ~
insisted repeatedly on an earlier
evacuation and 1t was found i'm
possible to reach an agreement for
the present on this important
point,
General Mombeli, of Italy, sup
ported General Harrington, but the
French delegate, General Charpy.
was non-committal.
At this juncture, NJ. Franklin
Bouillon, the special French envoy
interv ened, declaring that he had
been instructed by the French gov
ernment to support the Turkish
demand. The discussion grew very
warm and the allied members ad-
journed to confer with the COM
missioners at Constantinople.
Both Generals Harrington and
Mombelli have asked for further
Instructions from their govern
ments. If these are received In
time, it is possible that the confer
ence may be resumed at Mudania
tomorrow afternoon.
Another report was current, but
accepted as only partial explana-
ton, that the stoppage of the con-
ference sessions partially was due
to the necessity of the Greek dele
gates referring all matters for de
cision to their government at Ath-
