In the absence of Greece s slgnatute to the armistice proto-, col. The delegates found It necessary to adjourn without effecting any real busi ness. They will not meet again until late on Thursday afternoon, and In the meantime will communicate with their home governments. After their adjournment, Dr. S. Daneff, leader of the Bulgarian delegation and president of today's conference, confirmed the report that the question of the proto col had been under discussion without a decision being reached. It Is understood that the powers of the Turkish plenipo tentiaries do not authorize them to recog. nlze the Hellenic delegates unless Grecc i-lgns the armistice, and therefore they are obliged to refer the matter to Con stantinople before proceeding with the conference. The Greek representatives refused to sign the protocol when Invited to do so today, pointing out that It would make no practical difference, as the allies were united and the decisions reached by them was of the Balkan league and would be binding on Greece equally with the other members of the federation. Dclnmtes llnyp Fall Power. The credentials of the peace delegates of the Balkan allies and of Turkey give them full power as plenipotentiaries. They ran therefore not only negotiate for peace hut It they come to an agreement can conclude nnd sign It. This point was made clear when the delegates -met In St. James palace this morning to com mence the serious business of the gath ering. , Or V.' Daheff, speaker of the Bulgarian Parliament, presided. The fUatbjisjnesa of the conference was the appointment of secretaries. It was decided that each delegation should appoint a man to act as secretary of the conference on the dny when the chief of the mission to which he belonged, waso In the chair. This will occur In the alphabetical order of the states represented at the conference. Thus, a Bulgarian secretary today under took the secretarial duties of the confer ence. The delegates then exchanged cre dentials. The meeting of the conference lasted less than two hours. The plenipotentiar ies adjourned until Thursday. ' It was noticed that, contrary to yes .terday's procedure when the deleratea all 'lunched together, the Turks today left tthn palace and went to lunoh at their 'hotel, while their colleagues remained In the palace. Talk of Mediation. In speaking today on the subject of foreign mediation In Balkan affairs, Sto jjan Novakovltch, the head of tho Servian ! delegation, ealdt "The choice of the United States as mediator would be an excellent one. The only fears tn this connection are that the distance of the Untied' States from the jrcene and Its lark of knowledge of the .different complex problems agitating the 'Balkan peoples might hamper Its action, while a European country would find It self In readier condition, having for years followed the aspirations of the different races constituting the Balkan family.'
