JOY RIDE FOR AGITATORS
ADROIT MOVE BY POLICE
POLITICAL TROUBLE AVERTED
TRAIN TAKEN INTO DESERT
EFFORT TO OPEN CAMPAIGN
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 6.30 p.m. Cairo, May 1. The authorities adroitly averted a threatened political situation by taking its organisers for a ride. Nahas Pasha, Mahumud Pasha and many followers broke through a police cordon at the Cairo station and, despite broken heads, boarded the train for Tantah, intending to open a campaign of boycotting the elections. The police uncoupled three carriages containing the agitators and® ran them into a suburban station. They then invited the Nahasites to detrain. They refused and the train went on to the desert, where the party was marooned. The joy-riders eventually left the train peacefully.
