COINS AN lISOI LIE, OcC. 10y
The Associated Press).--Abruptly,
though not unexpectedly, the Mu-
dania conference came to a halt this
afternoon. When it will he resumed
is matter of conjecture.
The question of the evacuation Of
Thrace was the cause of TIE rupture,
it was announced late tonight. The
attitude of the Turks and the Greeks
was very bellicose, threatening the
success Of the conference.
Ismet Pasha, in fiery mood, up
set the conference to-day. He de-
clared that the Turkish army must
enter Thrace Immediately, and his
tone was determined and defiant.
General Harrington attempted 10 rea-
son with him after the fashion which
proved so effective in dealing with
minor prelininaries, but Ismet was
adamant.
Brigadier General Harrington, conf
mander of the Allied forces and
head of the Allied delegation, re-
turned this evening on the battleship
Iron Duke, and the Italian delega-
tion also came to Constantinople. It
is understood that the Allied gen.
erals will go into conference with
the high commissioners on certain
serious difficulties which have arisen
at Mudania.
Evacuation Issue Raised
According toS unofficial information,
Esmet Pssha, the Nationalist represen-
tative, suddenly raised the question
at the afternoon conference of the
evacuation Of Thrace General
Harrington replied that that would coma
after the conclusion Of the peace
treaty, as set forth in the joint allied a
note Ismet insisted heatedly on an
earlier evacuation, and it was found \
impossible to reach an agreement for
the present on this important point.
General Mombelli, of Italy, supported
General Harrington, but the French

committal.
At this juncture NJ. Franklin Bopil-
lon, the special French envoy, inter-
vened, declaring that he had been in
structed by the French Government 20
support the Turkish demand The dis
cussion grew very warm and the allied
generals adjourned TO confer with tho
commissioners at Constantinople.
General Charpy also returned to Con-
stantinople and he declared that the
conference had progressed satis actor
lily, but that the first hitch was caused
bv the Turkish der~"ud for t. occu-
patton Of eastern Thrace before the
peace conference. The French repre-
sert-tives were emnowerei bv their
government to concede this point, but
the British and italian delegates lacked
the necessary authority.
New Instructions Asked
Both General Harrington and Generai
Mombelli have asked for further in
structions from their Governments. II
these are received in TIME it is possible
that the conference may be resumed
at Mudania tomorrow afternoon.
LONDON, Oct. + (By The Associated
Press).--The Mudania conference has
separated. not finally, but in circum-
SEaNCeS y. serious .tltHFultN. ~ tiu-
portant dispatch from General Hariug-
ming. It was sent by ships radio and
stated, with reference to Tnursda
proceedings, that the conference had
adjourned. and asked for instructions.
Cabinet Hastily Summoned
The dispatch arrived in very I'm
perfect state, the conclusion of it be-
ing altogether missing. 1t was SUM-
GENTLY obvious, however, that very
unsatisfactory state of things had de-
veloped at Mudania, and the Prime
Minister hurriedly summoned a late
meeting Of the Cabinet.
The ministers met at II o'clock, ard
after long and earnest discussion de-
cided that General Harington's dis
patch was too mutilated TO allow OF
taking final decision thereon. They
accordingly decided to send an ureent
message to him at Constantinople,
whittier he stated he had gone. asking
for a repetition of the dispatch and
rearestine him to remain in GeHstantf-
nople pending receipt of further in
structions. The Cabinet then sepa-
rated.
General Harington's repetitioa is ex-
pected to reach here sorne tire dr~srg
the night, and il II does the ministers
will reassemble Friday morning to pre-
pare instructions.
Turks Blamed for Clash
Nothing has been announced officially
from Constantinople, but best informed
sources there agree that the difficulty
has arisen in consequence OF the de-
mand of the Turks respecting the date
for the evacuation of Const sntinople.
Ismet Pasha, with NJ. Frankiin-Bou-
Hons support, demanding evacuation
at an early date, while Generals Har-
ington and Mombelli rolled that it
must follow the peace treaty
There is nothing to substantiate the
report that the temporary rupture Of
the conference was in any way due to
the Greeks. -
At the afternoon meetings OF the
Cabinet the matter of the irrecon-
! cilablc attitude of the Kemalisfs on
certain material points was under con-
sideration. The Greek delegates were
]. to Join the Mudania conference to-day,
and, therefore, it may be supposed that
fha poyer nment'S latest adyicss had
