Count von Hochberg won't comment

February 23, 1930

Count Alexander von Hochberg, "whose engagement to Princess Ileana of Rumania has been under fire," has declined to comment about the criticism, reports the Associated Press. The Count is now in Nice, where he is staying with his mother, the Princess of Pless at the Villa Lanapoul.
The Count's friends are adamant that the engagement has not been broken. They point out that "it would require several months of negotiations to arrange religious affairs connected with the marriage." Count Alexander is Roman Catholic. Princess Ileana is a member of the Orthodox church. The Count has said that he refuses "to give up his faith."
