Say Ferdinand Has Fled.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 19, 1913:
Reports Come from Brussels and Paris, but Are Discredited in London.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Saturday, July 19.—The Brussels correspondent of The Chronicle hears from an exceptionally well-informed source that King Ferdinand of Bulgaria is in flight. News to the same effect has also been received in Paris, where it is stated that the King has made a hurried flight with the Crown Prince Boris.

    LONDON, Saturday, July 10.— Inquiries here have failed to confirm the Brussels report. The Bulgarian Legation discredits it.
    A Vienna dispatch says that Queen Eleanor of Bulgaria and her suite have unexpectedly arrived at Ernstbrunn, a castle in Lower Austria, the property of her nephew, the Prince of Reuss; but an official denial of this is given.
