BULGARIA SPURNS RUMANIAN BRIDE FOR SOFIA, Nov. 15—Rumors con- cerning ‘the probability of a mar- riage between King Boris and Prin- cess Tleana of Rumania have bob- bed up again, but have been squelched by the Bulgarian govern- ment. Officials here declare that the reports, which had their origin in the Rumanian press, were in- spired and that they were without foundation. Since the opposition of the Vati- can wrecked the project of an al- liance between the Bulgarian ruler and Princess Giovanna of Italy, the king has seemingly given up, for the time being, ideas looking to- ward the perpetuation of his dy- nasty. Ever since the close of the world | war there have been recurrent ru- mors of a Rumanian alliance. It was generally “believed here, how- ever, that they were part.of a plan which Queen Marie of Rumania conceived of having her three daughters marry the kings of Jugo- Slavia, Greece and Bulgaria, con- KING BORIS prestige in the Balkans. ‘Two-thirds of this program was actually carried out. The monar- |chy disappeared from Greece, but in Jugo-Slavia Queen Marie’'s name- sake shares the throne with Alex- ander. ‘The third part of the program was delayed first by the political situation in this .country. Bulgaria was distrubed successively by the communist movement, the agrarian agitation and a Bolshevik menace and the bachelor king had plenty to think about without considering marriage. After the domestic problems had been settled, King Boris began fo |consider the future.
