REGENCY UNNECESSARY

KING WILL DISSOLVE PARLIAMENT COLD AND WET AT BQGNOR (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 11.18 a.m. LONDON, Friday. it is reliably understood that the- possibility of the need for a Regency has disappeared, and that the King will be well enough to leave Bognor to carry out the formalities of dissolving Parliament on May 10. According to a British Official Wireless message, the King passed a good day. The weather was cold throughout the day at Bognor, and rain fell, and consequently his Majesty did not go out into the grounds at Craigweil House at all. He spent the day sitting in his bedroom. This is the first time for over three weeks that his Majesty aas not walked or sat in the grounds for some part of the day. It was learned at Bognor this evening that, although no, definite plans have yet been made, the King will probably leave Craigweil House during the second or third week in May. It is likely that his Majest will go to Windsor, and will journey from Windsor to Buckingham Palace from time to time to attend to business arising out of the General Election. OLD SHIPMATE’S VISIT His Majesty yesterday received William King, who lives at Bognor, and who used to be captain’s coxswain in H.M.S. Bahccante when King George was a midshipman in that ship. Mr. King brought with him an old picture of the Bacchante, and a log which he kept during his service with her. These greatly Interested his Majesty, who presented the old sailor with a photograph of himself In admiral’s uniform.
