New York Times 100 years ago today, November 27, 1912:
Cannot Tell Them Yet if They Will Enter Constantinople.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
LONDON, Wednesday, Nov. 27.— A dispatch to The Times from Sofia says:
"A telegram stating that Ferid Pasha conferred with the Grand Vizier yesterday on the subject of Albania seems to indicate that hope is still entertained in Constantinople that Turkish authority can be maintained in that country. I have reason to believe that the allies will insist on the complete evacuation of Albania by the Turks, whose presence there is as little desired by the Albanians themselves as by the Greeks, Servians, and Montenegrins.
"While King Ferdinand was visiting the wounded at Jamboli on Saturday a wounded officer asked him whether the army would be allowed the satisfaction of marching into Constantinople.
"The King, observing tears in the officer's eyes, sighed deeply, and replied in a low voice, 'Providence only knows this.' "
