SCOTLAND YARD SURPRISED.
NUMEROUS EGYPTIANS. IN LONDON. AGENTS THROUGHOUT EUROPE. (Press Association.—Copy right.) (Received 9.30 a.m.) London, December 5. The Daily Mail recalls the hysteri- . cal scenes during Zaghlul’s visit to London. Students, including many women, hailed Zaghlul as the saviour of Egypt and giver of complete independence. Scotland Yard never realised there was such a large number of Egyptians in London. The precautions have now been trebled, fearing that fanatical students might choose the opening of Parliament as an appropriate moment for assassination. The London police have been heavily reinforced from the provinces. Indications are that the assassination plot is the outcome of propaganda emanating from an extremist Egyptian National organisation called Wafd, the emissaries whereof have spread chainlike throughout Europe. Its methods recall the assassination of Sir William Wyllie in 1908. The Sketch revives the story of the curse in connection with Tutankhamen’s tomb, publishing photographs of Sir Lee Stack.
