Grandduke Nicholas Nicolaevitch, an uncle of the late Czar Nicholas II and commander in chief of the Russian army during the World War, under whose command many acts of anti-Semitic terror and expulsion were committed, was chosen as the leader of the Russian monarchists by a unanimous vote at the Congress of the Russian Monarchistic Emigres in session here.
There are only a few Jews among the four hundred delegates who are participating in the Congress, who claim to represent 2,000,000 Russian emigres in Europe, members of the Right parties.
The Fatherlandish Union of Russian Jews Abroad, with headquarters in Berlin, sent telegraphic greetings to the congress, wishing it success. So far the Jewish problem has not been taken up by the Congress.
