In conference with journalists, M. Tartaresco, Under-Secretory of Stato, said that now the examination of Al.

According to Manoilescu's diary, action began on July 18th. "It is clear," states tho diary, "that Prince- Carol desires to return, if possible, before his son Michael is proclaimed King. I think he is right." Mauoilescu was awaiting final instructions from Paris for the qamoaign, which was due to begin in November, lhe conspirators communicated in code, but the Government held proofs of tlio plot in Manoilescu's own hand.
