KOUTEPOFF MYSTERY
RUMOURS CONCERNING HIDING v . PLACE. (Rec. 6.55 p.m.) London, February 4. The alleged kidnapping of General Koutepoff, successor to the Grand Duke Nicholas, as leader, of the refugee Russian officers in Paris, led to Soviet recriminations against the suggestion that the Cheka was responsible for his disappearance. An official message from Moscow hints that General Koutepoff, fearing displacement, went to South America, taking a considerable sum of monarchist funds for safe keeping. Meanwhile M. Dovgalevsky, Soviet Minister in Paris, twice appealed to the authorities to protect the Embassy, against a raid by White Russians. The police declared there were no grounds to expect a raid, but quickly strengthened the guard. Another report says that General Koutepoff is hiding in Switzerland.
