Allies Framing Demands.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 2, 1912:
Want to Deal Direct with Turkey and May Reject Intervention.
    VIENNA, Nov. 1.— Negotiations are in progress between representatives of Bulgaria, Servia, Montenegro and Greece with a view to reaching an agreement in regard to their demands from Turkey at the conclusion of hostilities, according to the Neue Freie Presse.
    As it is the intention of the four Balkan States to take joint action in this respect; the allies would prefer to enter into direct and immediate negotiations with Turkey, but it is understood that the Ottoman Government refuses to accept this proposition and will in all probability appeal to the European powers for mediation. It is uncertain, however, whether the Balkan States would tolerate any intervention.
