DARK HINTS DROPPED.
For the Polonyi scandal continues to
bob up and dark hints are dropped as
to further ana uglier revelations. AL

Count GeZa POlonyi, the late Hun

the cabinet under circumstances which
are only now beginning to be fully I'M
derstood. He was formerly an alder
man in Buda Pesth and in his NUM-

When Polonyi entered the cabinet some
OF his political enemies promptly raked
up these charges and no end of scandal
