February 22, 1930
Roumanian police have received an official order to "confiscate and burn" all the photographs Princess Ileana and Count von Hochberg," reports the New York Times. Constantin Hiott, the court chamberlain, will "resign shortly" due to his failure to investigate Count Alexander's past before the engagement was announced. Hiott has not accompanied Queen Marie and Princess Ileana "on their Egyptian trip."
An official announcement of the "cancellation of the engagement" is not expected to be made for another month.
Count Alexander, who is in Cannes, is disputing the reports in the Bucharest papers. "Princess Ileana and I will be married as soon as the proper arrangements are made between the Greek Orthodox church and the Catholic church. That is the only reason the wedding has been delayed. The Count made the statement today "on his arrival on the Vienna express."
