nationalist party group in the Ul-a ster parliament issued Q manifesto boycotting today's ceremony as a protest against the partition of Ire- land. "To participate in the glori- fication of 8 parliament that is an outrage of the nations unity would be an act of the basest treachery," the manifesto said.
 While official Belfast discounted
 rumors of possible incidents, the
 United Press learned that a large
 number of members of the Free
 State Republican Army were
 among the 300,000 visitors who
 joined the city's 100000 popula- tion for the celebration. All per- sons entering Ulster from the Free
 State were searched at the border.

 The array of armed force was
 easily the largest ever given the prince. Police of the Dominions
 where he has visited generally were not armed. but today he was hemmed in by lines of men and guns.
 There have been many demon strations against the princes visit here, and last night, while he was enroute from Liverpool on the motorship Ulster Prince" special ly chartered, police sought persons who tore down the Union Jack al l the Falls Road public baths. and arrested two women charged with possession of republican posters attacking the princes visit. The cruisers Dorsetshire and Exeter, constituting naval guard of honor, were in port ready to receive the prince. Three scout. ing airplanes and nine bombers were designated to form an aerial escort for his ship.
 The princess official program was arranged so that he would not be in the streets after nightfall. He declined to accept the freedom of the city, preferring to do so at Q later date, in order that his visit might be as private as possible A luncheon in his honor was can celled.
 While Ulster expected the cere- monies to pass off smoothly, au- thorities did not overlook the pos sibiiity of disorders. Only a few weeks ago thousands of unem- ployed youths and men, shouting I've want bread" precipitated riot. ing here that lasted for several
 days. Streets were barricaded and troops partolled riot areas Tn armored cars and with machine guns. Several truckloads of Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers were brought E in from their normal station at Hollywood, and the Second Bat talion of Kings Rifles was trans ferred to Belfast as a routine mill itary movement.
 After the dedication, the prince returned to Belfast and placed a wreath on the Cenotaph in honor of the war dead, after which he was officially welcomed at the City Hall, ending the days program. He was invited tonight to a brilliant house party at the Duke of Aberccrn's residence. He plan ned to spend the remaining two days on his stay here mostly in recreation and sightseeing. Num- erous private entertainments were planned, which will also be att tended by the titled persons and members of London society who came here with the prince. Despite the warmth and smooth ness of the princes welcome, pre- cautions against disorder were rigidly maintained. A special de- tachment of constabulary was as- signed to guard the Duke of Aber- corn's house. one laborer was arrested for shouting objectable remarks during the procession.
