Bucharest Calm
Pending Funeral
of Dead Premier
by United Press Leased Wire

BUCHAREST, Nov. ga re-
spectful calm settled over Bucharest
today while the body of the late
Premier Ion Rratianu lay in state.
The expected negotiations be
tween Vintila Bratianu, brother of
the late premier, who was named to
his position by the regency on the
recommendation of the cabinet and
|. MANU-, leader of the opposition
party, will be concluded definitely
after the funeral.
The leaders of the Liberal party
and the National Peasant party, the
opposition of the late premier, will
confer Monday, the day after the
funeral. A coalition government
had been suggested as solution to
the situation.
Political observers were surprised
at the readiness with which the op'
position party seemed willing 20
leave the issue of the ascendancv of
former Crown Prince Carol to the
throne of his young son, King Mich
ael.
1t appeared that Carol may be
left unconsulted and the coalition
government may continue along
lines akin to the cabinet of the late
premier.

Remus' chauffeur, George Klug,

where the shooting occurred on the
morning of October 6. The state
had tried to prove that Klug later
picked up Remus and drove to the
Pennsylvania railroad station.
Now came William Hulbershorn,
an automobile salesman, to say that
he was the man who gave Remus a
"lift' to the station.
Hulbershorn said he saw the de-
fendant walking hurriedlv in the
park and invited him to ride.
Remus introduced himself and said
he had "done some shooting in the
park. -
