King Reaches Naples
To See Leaders Who
Favor Abdication
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NAPLES, Nov. 2 ,Delayed) king
Victor Emmanuel arrived incognitc
today from Brindisi and, although
the purpose of his visit is unknown
it was believed he would attempt tc
confer with Count Carlo Sforza and
other leaders who favor his ahdica-
ton as the first step toward solving
Italy's political dilemma.
An unimpeachable informant dis
closed that Count Sforza. former
Italian Foreign Minister. had refused
to see the King at Brindisi after ar
irving in Italy from the United
States.
This informant said the monarch
had sent emissaries to the count to
tell him the King wished to grant
him an audience. Count SforZa
however, was said to have declined
in virtually an unprecedented &C
ton giving as his excuse his plan to
leave Immediately for Naples.
Persons close to the count said he
is adamant on the question of the
Kings abdication.
Believes King Betrayed Nation.
He takes the position the King
bertayed the nation in permitting
the rise of Fasclsm and that only
the withdrawal of the sovereign. as
we'll as Crown Prince Umberto, can
pave the way to regeneration OF the
country. He declares he sees this
as a prerequisite not only to estab-
lshment of a new government, but
for Italy's full pal aliicipation in the
war.
In a carefully phrased statement
recently Count Sforza declared the
Italian people need some striking
evidence that all Inks with Fascism
have been broken "
He declared today that "a crown
is a beautiful thing when it serves
the Nation but not when it serves
only the man who wears it

a new government on the condition

up for the Crown Prince S son The
marshal's views thereon are not

Most italian political leaders,
however, apparently agree with
Sforza. The ma ajority prefer going
even further and esta blishing a re-
publican form of government i'm
But they said they would be will
ing to collaborate in a provisional
regime-poSsibly a regency for the
Young Prince of Naples with Ba-
doglio as Prime Minister-until
Italy is freed from the Germans and
the whole population is able to par

Reserve Within Water
Fund Urged By Olsen


The annual report q Budget pl-
rector n. 3. Olsen now IN the hands
Of Mayor John s. Monagan con-
tains recommendations for making
use Of surpluses occurring "a both
the city's general and water funds.
The report was submitted &C last
Thursdays meeting OF the Board OF
Finance and Is now being studied
BY Mayor Monagan.
The plan for setting up Q reserve
within the water fund was sug-
gested some weeks ago 10 the
finance board and &C that time the
mayor named Commissioners John
Brophy, orion r. Camp and City
Controller Cornelius T. Maloney q
committee to confer with Mr.. Olsen
on this matter. This committee now
has o report to submit at the next
meeting Of the board In which Il
agrees on q plan, whereby q SUM-
cient reserve could be accumulated
within the water fund with which
to finance the unusual debt service
beginning in 1853 when the water
bonds, Series OF i9Al, start to ma
ture.
The plan simply calls for good
management on the part Of future
fiscal oofflcials Of the city and in
wolves no unusual or unauthorized
practices of financing. Funds would
not be segregated. but simply ear
marked for a definite purpose, The
ability Of the city to do this lies In
