FERDINAND SINKING dictatoiTln power DISTURBANCE FEARED By Cable. —Press Association.—Copyright Received 9.20 a.m. BUCHAREST, Tuesday. King Ferdinand is dying. He has been unconscious all night and has taken no food for 24 hours.— Sun. Reed. 11.30 a.m. LONDON, Tuesday. The mystery of King Ferdinand’s illness which is subject alternately to gravest reports and sharp denials had a curious sequel when the “Daily Express” special correspondent at Bucharest was ordered to leave Rumania within 24 hours, otherwise he would be forcibly escorted to the frontier by gendarmes, which the Chief of Police, in communicating the decision, described as “a very painful process.” The correspondent attempted to telegraph the statement. General Averescu, the Prime Minister, has assumed dictatorial powers to cope with possible disturbances in case of Ferdinand’s death. The Royal Family spent the day at the King’s bedside.—Sun.
