Turks Are Obstinate.

New York Times 100 years ago today, June 6, 1913:
May Block Peace Negotiations by Disregarding Greek Claims.
    LONDON, June 5.— Unless Turkey modifies her protocol demands, the peace delegates may hold no further meetings here after to-morrow. Briefly, Turkey refuses to satisfy the Greek claim to the re-enactment of the privileges enjoyed before the war by Hellenic subjects residing in Turkish territory. While refusing this, Turkey demands from the allies still greater privileges for Turkish subjects. The gulf between the two yawns so wide that a continuation of the conference at St. James's Palace seems useless.
    The Servian delegates will attempt tomorrow to reconcile the claims of Turkey and Greece on a basis of the arrangement made at the time of the Berlin treaty, but there is little hope that this will succeed. If Turkey continues obdurate, it is probable that the delegates will leave London at an early date.
    The Ambassadorial Conference to-day discussed the Constitution of Albania on a basis providing for the establishment of a provisional regime, subject to further adjustment and adapted to local conditions, under a High Commissioner nominated by the powers.
    The Daily Telegraph's Belgrade correspondent says that the meeting of the Balkan Premiers has been arranged, to take place at Salonika on Sunday next. A touch of grim humor has been added to the Greek-Bulgar dispute by the Bulgarian request that Greece provide ships for the transport of the Bulgar forces from Tchatalja to Kavala. To this Greece replied that all her ships were busy ferrying troops between Piraeus and Salonika.
