30 against.

1t was not a big vote, it was not OE i

representative, but it was impressive. The King hopes, it is said, that over the weekend there will be a great turn toward him, that people who may not necessarily like the idea of the marriage nevertheless will decide they want him on the throne at his own price.

Decision May Be Changed

This decision of the King to make the cabinet move is one of today. It may be changed. Buf in itself itisa change and an important one as the country, plunged into an emer-

gency in which no one really ean win, started its week-end. ;

There was national sorrow when King George died. But at least it was a natural thing and there was the ‘new King to cheer the people. That was 10 months ago. Now, if the King does fight through, Baldwin seems ready to fight, too. He is a man of peace but he is a bulldog of tenacity and he has warned the King that he. will “stick if ‘out in opposition to a marriage which he regards as almost

fatal to the throne’s prestige.

He has warned that if

Churchill tries to appeal to the country he wiil split it, it

is reported. ¢ Today’s cabinet meeting meeting was adjourned until agreed to remain at No. 10 Downing Street and warned ministers to be reddy for a call. Right after the meeting Walter Turner Monckton, attorney general to the King, a key man in the . emergency, visited No. 10 Downingst, Sir John Simon, Home Secre- - tary, the foremost government legal expert, remained with Baldwin for a two-hour conference. Monckton was still at No. 10 when Simon left.

Simon returned there shortly after 9 a. m. (Indianapolis Time.)

Leaders Fight for Delay

Leaders of all factions fought with British doggedness for delay— " the cabinet, supported by all political parties, in hope that the King yet would capitulate; the little group which supports him, in hope

that he yet might win his fight to marry Mrs. Wallis Simpson. There was little to do but wait for the end. It seemed clearer hourly that King Edward must abdicate or renounce his love, and there was no sign that he would permit the appeals of his government, his family, the church of which he is head, to overrule the dictate of his heart. Baldwin—who had hoped to leave for Chequers, his country home, yesterday — agreed to remain in Downing-st for the week-end, Ministers were ordered to remain within call, and, if they went to the country at all, to go only in the ene virons of London. King Edward held out alone in his little fort—the country home, old Fort Belvedere, where he had spent so many happy days with Mrs, Simpson.

King Near Exhaustion

“He was nearing nervous exhaustion and it was believed he was under the. care of the royal physi-

cian. His friends were alarmed at

his condition—and: those who op-

lasted 40 minutes, then: the 10 a. m.. Monday. Baldwin

posed him thought they saw. signs that he might crack under the terrific pressure brought against him, and agree to bend to their demands. Mrs, Simpson, halting only’ for meals or a few hours’ rest, raced across France seeking refuge in the

sunny ® south. Churchill, . the brilliant dissident

conservative leader, and Col. Josiah Wedgwood, dissident Labor man, a descendant of the Wedgwood china people, led the faction that was ready to rally to the King’s standard and try to keep him on the throne with Mrs. Simpson, it’ he must so have it, as queen. Dashing Churchill. and tough old Wedgwood, hero of two wars, had about them a small group of “King’s men™ of all * and were ready for a fight in which Churchill would fry to form a gabinet, and precipitate a general election, on the question of the King’s marriage. But the government, the united political parties and the Church of England were ready, too, however reluctantly, for a fight and insisted that they never would give in,

King’s Word Awaited Baldwin was believed to have

against him were hopeless and that he could not win, with Churchill or. any other champion he draw.

the and there were reports that he either would make a public statement during the week-end or would send a message to Parliament Monday—his final ‘word.
