(Hy the Associated Press, i The 1 Allied Commissioners in Consian-I tinople have been given full au- tuority to declare a state of siege or take ally other measures to i ' preserve order. i This was the response of the Allied Governments to tho cabled requests of tho High Commission ers for permission to take com plete and speedy action. It now certain that Allied authorise here will deal with any attempts at aisiuronnce or infringement the Mudaniu convention in dra matic manner. British, French and Italians are as one in their determination to check the powerful movement which the Kemallsts have set in motion. The British have at no time since the Intentions of the Turkish Nationalists were made, to the slightest degree, relaxed their vigilance, and now French warships are about to proceed here or are on their way to strengthen the Allied authority. Lieutenant General Harlngton, Commander-in-cJtif of the Allied forces, has informed Itafet Pasha, tho new Governor, that he would permit no usurpation of Allied au thority and Rafet explained that tne sweeping demand for evacua tion of the Allied military forces and for ' other,euncaiim-a4-ie trom the Angara Government. The Kemallsts have even attempted to take over the customs revenues, but tho British Authorities have decided to operate the customs themselves. The calling of three additional classes to the Turkish colors is interpreted here as merely a dhow of force. Constantinople Is in a fever of apprehension over the Komalist (ii.-M'ids for the evacuation of the Allied military naval forces, the extension of the Nationalist re gime here, the imposition of con nscatory customs duties, the con demnation of the Sultan and the indiscriminate arrest of prominent ajonstantinopie Turks. The allied high commanders have given Rafet Pasha, the new ."Nationalist Government here, 48 hours in which to release All Kem al Bey. editor of the antl-Natijn-allst Sabah Union, who was ar rested and condemned to death. An unconfirmed report had it that All Kemal already had been exe cuted. Meanwhile the Allied command ers asked their governments for Instructions with a view to the declaration of martial law.

PresI .j - , , ucnt nuiumg expects to issue a call Thursday or Friday for a spe cial session of Congress convening iuvemoer su. it was announced to day at the White House. Jt was said that although the President was not Irrevocably com mitted to the proposal for the spe cial session which has been gen erally expected by congressional leaders, only ' an eleventh hour change of mind would prevent hlra from issuing the call. The ptian for a special session after the election has received the general endorsement of Senate and House leaders. It is understood the President .feels that by meet lng at least two weeks in advance of the regular session, the legisla tive program can-be so advanced as to enable Congress to clean up its slate by tbe time the tegular session ends next March 4. The feeling among administration offi cials has heen that unless an ear lier start is made than would be possible with Congress meeting the frst Monday !n December, an extra session undoubtedly woul be nec essary after next March 4. -Although .he program for the special aeaalon has not been work ed out definitely, it brieny pro vides for consideration by- the House of the merchant marine bUl, and work by the Senate on the Dyer antl-lynchlng measure, which has already passed the House. Administration leaders hope these two measures can be dispos ed of by the time the regular aea alon convenes, and house leaders have assured the President by that tiipe committee work on a number of appropriation bills sill have been flnlabed.

N. C. Nov. 7 Chair man J. I) Norwood nt midnight estimated the Democratic majority In-the State at 75,000, the largest majority for the party In the State's history. Mr. Norwood pre dlced after 11 Republican counties had gone Democratic that ths Re. publlnan membership in the lower House would be reduced from 29 to 14. His prediction yesterday ws that it would be reduced to 20. The reduction to 14,. would mean 15 heretofore Republican eounties in the Democratic column. North Carolina registered Its ap proval of Democratic- progressive ness and good government with a majority at the polls today. The State'a representative in Congress remains Democratic by overwhelm ing majorities, the Judicial ticket has been varrled in full, certainly 1 of the ia nollcitorshlpe-are Demoorotle, 'Dd , wha is f great slgnlfVVrefai tea I UlUvuUlcsii eonnthjav gone- fDemoeratic! wany returns at Hiute headquar ters Indicated - that Democratic counties, especially of the Central and West, had given heavier ma jorities than had been expected. Eleven counties here tfore Re. publican which have Jumped oves Into the Democratic column are: Caldwell by 840 majority; Ca tawba by 6B0; Cabarrus, 250; Car taret, 325; Davidson, 600; Chero kee, 200; Surry by a amall ma jority; Burke, 400 rnajority; Hen deraon 280; Randolph, 100, and maniey.iuu. Clialrman Norwood Offers Prediction. The vote in the East where dim e were no contests, may hold down the Wtate majority, but early re turns indicate that It will go to the mark predicted by chairman J. D. Norwood. Whatever It proves to be, North Carolina has again placed Its approval stamp on Dem ocratic government, with a mighty sweep. Wherever there ..was- Republican opposition there were heavy Dem ocratic gains. Ijavldson County, for instance, went Republican by 1,500 in 1920. The Co,) majority this year means a swinging of 2.100 votes. Hencfersnn carrlid the full ticket democratic- for the first time in 30 years. Demo cratic leaders, receiving the re turns at party headquarters, to night were Jubilant over the re sult. The unmistakable sweep through all the counties was be yond expectation. I It appeara from telegrams to State headquarters that the con stitutional amendment Increasing tne &y or legislators has lost. The reports were very Incomplete but those received indicated much strength against it. Governor Morrison, chairman Norwood, and the vice-chairman, Miss Mary Henderson, were asked for statements on the victory to night. Governor Morrison said: "It Is great victory. The greater majority means greater re sponsibility upon the Democratic party for good government, we must remember. Nor must we for get that the victory Is over our own fellow citizens, and we must respect him and try to convince them that the Demorcattc party is right." Chairman Norwood expressed lhe organization's appreciation for the work of thousanas ot loyai Democrats over the State: "Enthused over a good ' r':ord and the party's glorious record. Democrats rolled up the'T sleeves anil did yeoman service. That is a-reat contribution to a gretter State and I congratulate them up on the victory." Vice-chairman Ml"" Mary Hen derann expressed elation over the result. It la the first time a woman has received the returns aa a political leader. "Do you get a a excited as the men over the election returns'! Miss Henderson was asked. "I believe I get more .excited, the replied. ' "It ia a glorious victory and one In which the women played a nrnmlnent nart. Thousands of Democratic women were in the thick of the fight and they have made for themselves a great rec ord as party supporters." Chambers Cohenhour, headquar ters manager, was busy tabulating returns tonight and shoving out reports on majorities as they came In.
