A group of 100 Palestine Arab exiles today elected Fakhri Nashashibi, an opponent of the ex-Mufti of Jerusalem, as their delegate to the London conferences on Palestine. In an interview with the Egyptian Gazette, Nashashibi accused the Mufti of working for a foreign power. Auni Bey Abdul Hadi, secretary of the prohibited Palestine Aras Supreme Committee who was exiled last year, indicated he was prepared to proceed to London if the ex-Mufti wished him to go.
