DEMONSTATION AGAINST CONSTANTINE BY THE SWISS
HOOTED, PURSUED BY A CROWD, AND STONED. NOISY DEMONSTRATION OUTSIDE HIS HOTEL. Australian and N.Z. Cable. (Received 11.80 p.m.) BERNE, June 20. The ex-King of Greece received a hostile reception in Switzerland. Crowds surrounded the frontier station of Chiasso, hooted Constantino, and shouted abuse. After he arrived at Lugano Constantino went for a walk, but was recognised and pursued. When surrounded he was hooted, stoned, and abused. He took refuse in a house, and half an hour later regained his hotel under strong police protection. The crowd made noisy demonstrations outside the hotel until a late hour. Reports from Berlin state that the Kaiser is preparing to welcome Constantino with great pomp. All the German sovereigns will receive him on the frontier.
