II Is understood on high official author
Ity that this action would have been taken

partment of Justice three weeks ago.
Chief Investigator BclasM directly
charged that Consul General Won Nuber
had aided directly in a conspiracy to
destroy American munition plants. The
Austrian Charge here made unofficial
representations demanding that this
charge be withdrawn on the ground that
there was no evidence to bear 1t out.
The State Department referred the re-
quest to the Attorney General. week
ago the Austrian Embassy here filed an
official request for a retracton, and both
still are under consideration.
President Wilson will discuss the entire
matter with secretary Lansing and At
torney General Gregory soon after he rc-
turns to this city tomorrow. Secretary
Lansing refused today to discuss the
Austrian crisis in any way. lie said that
he would make no statement regarding
the status of the consul general and other
Austrian officials until a complete de-
cislon had been reached on all of the
points involved

made by Austrian sources that the gem

ing been withdrawn at the demand Of the

dent Wilson has positively refused to ac-
cept any such viewpoint The attitude
of the Administration. officials say, is
that tine New York consul general and
the unnamed additional officials have
flaErantly violated the hospitality of the
United States, have unlawfully con-
spired against it's peace and its inuus-
tries, and that their usefulness as con-
sular officials is at an end. And IL the
advice of the Department OF Justice is
accepted, an effort will also be made to
prosecute Mt least three of them Grimm
