enemies had worked on, fired with
the new hope that the machinery
necessary to carry out Houston's

publicity and the good will that's

terviews with newspaper men have
caused painful dismay in the palace.
The sultan is represented as being in
an entire state of collapse, and all
audiences have been suspended.
The members of his encourage are
beset with fears, and one by n are
leaving the palace.
The sultan was stirred by the deep
est emotion, when his brother-in-law
Damad Ferid Pasha suddenly left for
Switzerland without bidding him fare
well.
In Nationalist circles candidates for
succession to the imperial throne are
being freely discussed but thus far
only three of these are understood to
be acceptable to Mustapha Kemal
Pasha and his followers. Prince Selim
a distinguished cavalry officer, and 9
nephew Of the sultan, appears to have
the best chance.
