WRIT REFUSED.
HAILE SELASSIE’S POSITION. (United Press Association —Copyright.) LONDON, November 23. Solicitors attempted to serve a writ on Haile Selassie yesterday under the action for £23,000 to be brought by Chdrtok, an American. Haile Selassie’s secretary, however, refused to accept the writ. The secretary said : “I simply refused to have anything to do with it.” A friend of Haile Selassie said that as he was still recognised by the British Government and his own supporters as Emperor, it was impossible to serve a writ on him.
