NOVEMBER ELECTION TO PROVE CLAIM His Majesty Declares That the Duchess Displayed “Incredible Obstinacy” in Not Agreeing to Settlement. New York,’ Oct. 27.—A Igmdon cable to The World la aa follows: ' The separation' of the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough has now be come public property and I* openly discussed In Mayfnlr. The Onlooker declares that It constitutes the greatest society sensation In years. King Ed ward, who, partly from motives of pol icy and partly out of good nature, al ways strives to prevent these aristo cratic upheavals, used the utmost per sonal effort to bring about a reconcilia tion. Even apparent reconciliation would have satisfied the king, but the ducliees displayed what his majesty termed "Incredible obstinacy." For the sake of appearances, how ever. the duke was prepared'to sanc tion tho terms, which .were nctually submitted to the duchess through the king, but they were decisively and summarily rejected by the daughter of the Vanderbilts. The efforts of the king have heed or no avail and the duke and duchess have arranged for a separation without ap plying to court. • The duchess will allow her husband 1100,000 a year, which, with hi* Income of <50,000, will make him financially able to continue the life which. It Is alleged, has caused his wife to despise him. Incompatibility, which has been as signed as the causa of the estrange- ment, Is regarded as merely a cloak to hide- the actions of the duke, who has become greatly attached to a married woman high In sodtty.
