country-despite the fact that he had been under orders to get out immediately or be thrown out had sent peremptory wireless or ders cracking across the Mediter- ranean, demanding that the Meotis return.
 The Meotis ignored the com mands. The destroyer, in rapid pursuit, sent repeated calls to halt but received no replies. Insull will be brought back here for deportation. No country ,n Europe wants him. It appeared inevitable that he would be forced to return to the United States for trial in connection with the col lapse of his $100,000,O0O utilities empire.
 Officials arc Fired It was not believed any further punishment than expulsion awaited him, although his escape almost caused cabinet crisis. It resulted | in dismissal of Interior Minister M. J. Mountsourides and Chief of &c., cret Police George Hebert. Insults offense was that he was in technical custody and evaded it, and also that he was under orders to leave by a specified route at 2 specified time-the Orient express to Europe at D. m. yesterday. The government had bought his a tic ket.
 Instead, he made his own ar- engagements and slipped out of Ath- ems secretly, probably Wednesday night, boarding the ship at Piraeus, port of Athens. The government, after a frantic search throughout Greece, finally learned of his mode of exit just in time. Minister of Interior Mountsour- idas resigred today, and the chief of the secret police was dismissed, as sequel to the aged utilities magnate's disappearance few hours before he was to be deported as an undesirable alien.

 Insull himslef, using the rem nants of his $100,00O,000 fortune and all the wiles of an old, cvn- ming man who had abandoned ev- cry thought in life but to retain his liberty at all cost, had a 24-hour start as police all over southeastern Europe searchde for him. It had been l-nown that there | was division in the cabinet as to | Insults case.
 Yesterday Mrs Insult went to the alien passport office.
 Authorities at first could hardly believe they had been so com i pletoly duped. Then came the bat tie in the cabinet while everyone took a guess ..s to where Insull had gone. The guessing still pro- ceeded today, without a single real clue.
 | Wrangling began among the po- lice authorities and in the cabinet, with the result that the minister of | interior resigned and Premier Tsal- daris dismissed the secret police head.
 Many Escape Reports There were reports that Insull | had sailed for a near eastern port that he was a refugee among the monks on the famous, picturesque Mt Althos, that he was spirited away by a criminal gang engaged in smuggling people across the frontier, that he would go to Al bania to see ka haven among one of the free mountain clans, engag- ing it's gunmen to defend him agains t police.
 Insull left behind him as if he were note bothered about leaving such clues a great quantity of cor respondence which revealed man! contacts with persons abroad i whom he had consulted regarding the possibility of escape.
 George Garezos, chief of state police, told the United Press 1t was l L; tDta that TncnH had with him a large quantity of money and that he had boarded a shir after arranging for it to take him to some place where he hoped tc find refuge.
 Garezos had to stop questioning Mrs Insull several times last nigh because she tainted wheneve! she was pressed too hard.
 Mrs Insult, her husbands friend Mime Coujoumdjoglou and all oth CTS detained for q-c~sioning were released at neon. Mrs Insull ant Mime Coujoumdjoglou were pu under surveillance as a precautior agaisnt their departure before competition of the investigation. Brother of Insull
