COMING PLEBISCITE
EX-KING APPROACHED
LONDON, July 22,
Reports that an aeroplane is in readiness- to take ex-King George to Athens at a moment's notice are denied by the Mayor of Athens, who arrived in London, for the purpose, it is reported, of consulting ex-King George regarding the coming plebiscite concerning the restoration of the monarchy in Greece.
The "Daily Herald" says that the Mayor spent the day closeted with exKing George, at his hotel. The Mayor told.the "Daily Herald" that rumours of a coup d'etat were absurd. ExKing George would wait until the people asked him to return.
The "Daily H.erald's" Athens correspondent says' the general opinion in Greece is that the Mayor told the ex-king that his chances in the plebiscite were poor, and that he should therefore ask the Government to postpone or abandon the poll.
