QUEEN MARIE AND CAROL

HURRIED DEPARTURE

SUCCESSION TO RUMANIAN THRONE.

(United Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 3rd December, 11 a.m.) PARIS, 2nd Dec. It is reported that Queen Marie secretly interviewed Prince Carol for half an hour at a friend's house. An alarmist report that a state of siege has been declared in Bucharest is discredited, but tho fact is that Queen Marie cut short .her stay after consultation with General Angelesco, Marshal of tho Rumanian Court, who brought the latest advices from Bucharest. The Queen departed by ordinary train, without waiting for dinner, in such a rush that sho broke a pearl necklace on the station platform. Professor Hartmann will not operate on King Ferdinand until after the Queen's arrival. The operation is expected to remove King Ferdinand's life from danger, but the King's advisers feel that it would bo unwise to take risks until he has seen the Queen. It is expected that Queen Marie will' bo made a member of the Council of Regency, which at present consists of Princess Helen, Prince Nicholas, tho head of the Rumanian Church, and tho President of the Court of Cassation. In such a combination tho Queen would obviously be tho dominating force. General Angelesco informed Prince Carol that tho latter would be permitted to see his father in his private capacity. The possibility of his reinstatement as heir, however, was more remote. Tho Prince himself shows no disposition to break with Madamo Lupcsco or become j reconciled with Princess Helen.
