CAROL PLOT BEGAN
BEFORE KING DIED
Government Reveals Plan to
Enthrone Prince Was Set
for Early Execution.
B t the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, Rumania, November
4. —The Rumanian government has is
sued a statement heating on the al
leged Carollst plot, together with tet
ters and documents seized recently
when M. Manoilescu. former undersec
retary of finance, was arrested as the
•‘go-between" for former Crown Prince
Carol.
Certain documents as made public
by the government show’ that
Manoilescu began his activities in
favor of Carol on July 18. two days
before the death of King Ferdinand.
That day he wrote in his diary:
"From all the declarations Carol made
to me in the course of the eight days
I saw him. the prince’s attituda is
clear —he wishes to return if possible
before Mihai (Michael) becomes King."
Planned to Force Plot.
The diary also indicates that
Kar.oilescu intended to establish a
newspaper entitled “Craig Nou’-
•which might be interpreted as "The
New King"—to voice the unspoken
•wishes of the Rumanian people.
Referring to documents not vet
made public, the government’s state
ment says that Manoilescu and his
adherents intended to begin execution
of his conspiracy to restore Carol this
Autumn, after they had obtained cer
tain information and orders from
Paris. A secret code was found on
Manoilescu when he was arrested,
whereby he communicated with the
former Crown Prince and his support

Mother of Czar, Nearing 80, Refuses
To Believe Son Was Slain in 1917
IBy the Associated Pres*. .
COPENHAGEN. Denmark, Novem
ber 4.—The former Dowager Empress
of all the Russias Maria Feodorownn,
refuses to believe that her son, the
1 Czar of Russia, is dead. Hope of see
ing him again, she says, is aiding
to keep her alive, despite the fact
that she is growing steadily weaker
as her eightieth birthday. November 1
25, approaches.
The exiled Dowager Empress has
virtually retired to the privacy of her
own room. She seldom leaves her
quarters, even having given up her
daily drive in a hired automobile be
cause the slight exertion is too much
of a tax upon her strength.
The widowed consort of Russia’s
one-time ruler spends much of her
time talking about the deposed Czar
Nicholas with Prince Dolgourioucks
and Countess Mencken, who faith
fully share her exile. She expects her
son to visit her almost any day.
Her imperial majesty is virtually
dent named Vilcanescu, living at 31
Rue Boucourt. St. Cloud, Paris.
Carol tatters Withheld.
The government withholds the text
of Carol’s letters to four political
chiefs, which are believed to embody
his conditions for returning to Ru
mania, including his request for a
plebiscite.
"To the honor of the army." the
statement continues, "not a single
officer w’as directly or indirectly con
nected with the Manoilescu adventure.
The arrest of Col. Todorescu, ex-chief
of the Rumanian aviation corps, last
week, was connected in no way with
Manoilescu’s activities.”
The communique concludes by say
ing that Manoilescu employed only
the most doubtful characters to
carry on his conspiracy.
The trial of Manoilescu probably
will take place next week. Part of the
proceedings will be secret. Gen Ave
rescu. former premier, under whom
Manoilescu served, will be the defend
ant’s chief advocate.

alone in her belief that the Czar was
not murdered 10 years ago at Ekat
erinburg. She refuses to let her
nephew’, King Christian of Denmark,
persuade her to come to his palace.
She takes little interest in herself,
she J is just waiting, she tells her re
tainers and fellow exiles, for her son
and his children to return from
Siberia, where they fled to escape
bolshevik exeeutionisis.
Although the warm Summer days
have turned into the miserable damp
weather of the Danish Autumn, the
dowager eirmress refuses to leave
Hvedoere, her Summer residence
jjj*re’aased years ago jointly with her
sister, the late Queen Alexandra of
England.
The Summer villa, designed for use
only in the warm months, is a large

mother does not make any complaint
of the lack of fireplaces and stoves.
