LONDON, Dec. 26.-A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph from Amsterdam says preparations for the Hungarian coronation are almost completed and that the indications are that the ceremony will be carried out with all the pomp of the days before the war.
"The dress of Empress Zita," says the correspondent, "is ready. It is of white satin covered with golden ornaments, after the model of the robes worn by the Hungarian queens at all coronation celebrations. It represents the efforts of fifty workers who devoted fourteen days in making it at a cost of 50,000 kronen. The dress will be handed to the queen by a deputation headed by the Archduchess Augusta.
"On the ground that the coronation should not be celebrated lavishly during such times of stress, the Croatian opposition party, according to a dispatch from Agram, has declined the official invitation to the ceremony received by the Croatian diet. Dr. Pavelic, leader of the opposition, formally declined the invitation in the name of the three opposition parties and the members of the opposition then left the house."
