DETERMINE
REPUBLIC'S FATE;

Gournaris Returns From
Exile To Wage Campaign
For Constantine Regime;
Result Will Be Known
Tonight
Republican A. P. Leased Wire ,
ATHENS, Nov. 14. General elec
tions were held throughout Greece to- 1
day and on the outcome is expected to
hinge the question of whether former
King Constantine shall come back to
the throne again or remain in exile In
Switzerland. '
Demetrois Gounaris, former premier
and leader of the opposition, who was
the opponent of Premier Venizelos In
the balloting, was the candidate" of the
elements in . the securing the return of
Constantine. M. Venizelos is unalter
ably opposed to the former monarch's
return.
A bitter campaign has been -waged
by both sides and. no matter which
side carries the election, trouble Is
feared.
Gounaris made preparations for
quick flight in case the elections went
against him, having requested pass
ports to Italy. .
- Exiled during the war on the charge
of high treason, he was permitted with
the approval of Venizelos to return to
take part In the campaign but should
he fail of election, hii parliamentary
immunity would expire Immediately.
In ease Premier Venizelos Is success
ful, he will be given a free hand in the
selection of a new head of the state,
Prince Paul, who was offered the
throne on the death of the late Kin?
Alexander, not hayinsr as et ' for
mally accepted the government's In
vitation. , .
The general elections In Greece are
of unusual importance as Involving a
test of strength between tlje existing
venizeios regime, b-uu mat. ui tuiuin
King Constantine; also in determing-
Ing the succession to the Greek throne,
and possibly foreshadowing an issue
between a republic and a monarchy.
The elections are the first held since
December, 1915.
Venizelos has denied that the
triumph of the Liberal party of which
he is the head meant that the fallen
king could not return to the throne.
M. Venizelos pledged himself to retire
if his party suffered defeat.
The results of the election will not
be known until Monday night as there
is an army vote in Smyrna and other
distant points to be taken Into con
sideration. It is expected that the sol
diers will support Venizelos. Prior to
the balloting the Venlzelists claimed
themselves confident of victory.
The premier's ' party looks for a big
majority in Attica and other parts of
old Greece and also in Thessaly and
Grecian Isles and assert that there will
be a close vote in Constantine's
stronghold, the Peloppensus.'
The premier said confidently:
"The vote will show the definite de
termination of the people to realize
their destiny and hold their place as
a civilizing factor in the near east.
The campaign grew more Intense as
election day approached. The opposi
tion in dozens of newspapers launched
numerous charges against Venlzelists.
It was alleged that they had disorgan
ized shipping and were using all kinds
of craft to bring hundreds of thousands
of refugees from Smyrna and Baltum
to vote Also, it was charged that
passports were being issued giving
citizenship to criminals and that Amer
icans of Greek descent were being en
listed as voters.

IS TURNED BACK
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
POINT ISABEL, Texas. Nov. 14.
Failing In an adventurous attempt to
quit storm-swept Point Isabel and
conclude his vacation in more com
fortable quarters in Brownsville,
President-elect Harding returned here
tonight after being marooned for four
hours on an uninhabited stretch of
Texas prairie and decided to postpone
his moving until tomorrow.
The failure to reach Brownsville was
due to a breakdown of tho narrow
gauge gasoline propelled Rio Grande
railway train on which the president
elect and h party, had started away
early In the kftfi.tbon.
After being informed that automo
bile traffic between the places was im
possible because of the storm that dis
rupted the party's vacation plans, they
returned at 7 o'clock In the evening
without having v been more than two
miles away from the point.

will choose the railway for the foot
trail that leads into town through the
monotonous expanse of-' cactus. Late
today there were some indications that
the possibilities of a passage by motor
were improving but the train was held
for his use if he should want it.
Comes Up Smiling.
The adventures of the president
elect in his unsuccessful effort to get
away from Point Isabel had many
humorous and melodramatic touches.
But Mr. Harding and his guests bore
their misfortunes good naturedly and
came back smiling to unpack their
baggage and spend another night at
this seashore resort of which they had
taken leave five hours before.
It was earlier in the day that Sena
tor Harding decided he could no longer
hope to become comfortable in his
little frame cottage overlooking Luga
Madre. He asked about automobile
facilities for the trip to Brownsville,
but abandoned that avenue of depar
ture when he learned by telephone that
some members of his party who start
ed to motor in last night had arrived
after daylight and had walked almost
all the way. So he appealed to the
narrow gauge.
It was an epochal but hectic day In
the history of the Rio Grande rail
way. Hauling presidents is not its
specialty for ordinarily Its train makes
but one trip to Point Isabel jv l back,
bringing out mail and provisions dur
ing the morning and taking, in a load
of fish late in the day. Jt usually
moves leisurely, two or three hours
being given over by the Mexican train
crew to a safe and sane Journey over
the 20 miles.
But today it taxed its facilities to
accommodate the entire party of 35.
Railway officials decided to supply
two trains and one of them 'came out
before noon and sidetracked In the
patio waiting for orders. The other
was not so fortunate. Half way out it

British destroyers have begun patrolling the sea to pre-'
vent the bolsheviki from communicating with the Turkish
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 14. The army of General
Wrangel, the anti-bolsheviki leader in South Russia, has
been wiped out and a number of his generals have com

are evacuating officers and their families. The American
destroyer Humphreys has gone to take off the Red Cross
supplies at Yalta. '
The United States transport Faraly has arrived here
with three hundred sick and wounded who were cared
for bv the American Red Cross. It is said that the reds
were joined by some Ukrainians in ; spreading terror
among the population in the Crimea.
The fighting at Perekop was of the most desperate
character. The bolsheviki, according to latest advices,
admit they had 30,000 men killed. They claim to have
taken 40,000 prisoners. hey owe their success largely to
the use of poison gas.
The Reds broke through the de
fense of General Wrangel on the Isth
mus of Perekop, according to best re
ports available here, by concentrating
tho White army. Wrangel's men. al
though greatly outnumbered, withstood
22 assoults before Perekop, but finally
were beaten. ';
The commanders of most of Wran

in men also were very large.

is continuing, but there is inadequate
shipping for the number of persons

Wrangel's troops are declared to have
fought splendidly in the battle of their
defeat, which began with the loss of

been no mutinies.
