Denies Rows At Tchatalja.

New York Times 100 years ago today, February 2, 1913:
Mahmud Shefket Says the Army Was Never More United.
    CONSTANTINOPLE. Feb. 1.— The Grand Vizier, Mahmoud Shefket Pasha, has issued a statement denying the reports of fighting among the troops of the Tchatalja army. He says that the troops were never more united in their devotion to the fatherland, as the enemy would find to their cost.
    The Grand Vizier expressed the belief that Rumania would reach an agreement with Bulgaria. He had never shared the belief of those who for three months had counted on the support of Rumania.
