Plot to Return Crown Prince Carol to Romania Foiled
Turkish police uncovered a plotted plan to fly the former Crown Prince Carol from Constantinople to Dobrudja to reestablish him in Romania. The conspirators claimed to act without Carol's knowledge and included a Turkish cavalry captain of Dobrudja origin, blamed for leading the operation. Sabri Bey, once condemned for Carolist activities, escaped to Constantinople. Romanian ministers downplayed the plot's significance, characterizing the plotters as mercenaries operating independently.
