Tho Turks, how ever, may make some further conces sion in the province of Adrianople. Tho delegates of Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro and Servla met this after noon to consider their attitude in view of the probable Turkish reply to their demand for a decision on the ques tion of Adrianople. The ambassadors of Austria-Hun gary, France, Germany, Italy and Rus sia resumed their "conversations" at the British foreign office at noon to day when they began considering the questions involved In the crisis which has been reached In the peace negotiations. The attitude of the Balkan ' allies during today's session of the confer ence was foreshadowed by Dr. S. Daneff, chief of the Bulgarian delega tion, who stated: . VWe expect the Turks will be un able to give ua acceptable conditions. The negotiations then will be broken off. We have an army which can continue the war." Dr. Daneff offered a phrase which possibly Indicates that a way out of the deadlock may be found. He said: " "If the Turks wish to appeal to the European powers we cannot prevent them from doing so." It Is believed the Intention of Tur key Is to yield on the question of the Island of Crete and to cede to the Balkan allies all her rights there. Should the Turks unexpectedly re nounce their claim to the fortress of Adrianople, It is- understood that the Balkan allies are ready to moderate their original claims in regard to the future frontier of the Turkish pro vince of Thrace. They would pre pare to make It run from Eno. on the Aegean sea along the Maritza to Mid la on the Black sea. Instead of from Rodosto on the sea of Mar mora, to Mldla as was at first pro posed by them. HEUIW FlEin LAID TO BEST J- Hundreds Attend Funeral in New York and Burial in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.
