ASKS SOVEREIGN
TO RECALL HIM
DR.. Dumba Makes an Official An
nouncement to tho Associated Press
at Lenox, Mass.

IENOX, Mass, Sept. 14.-The Aus
tro-Hungarian ambassador, DR.. Con-
stantin Theodor Dumba, today an
nounced that he had requested his SOW
ereign to recall him on leave of alb
sence in order that he might make per
sOnal report on the situation in the
United States, which resulted in re-
quest by the United States government
for his recall.
In authorizing the Associated Press
to make the above announcement DIR.
Dumba expressed Indignation that the
text of his message to the Austro-H Hun
garian minister of foreign affairs, Bar
on Won Burian, already had become
public without his consent or knowl-
edge.
In view of the situation he said he
probably would not make public the
statement of his position which he had
in mind to give to the American press.
He would, however, have something
to say to the Associated Press when he
reached Vienna. He had, he said, com
municated with his government in the
| only way open to him and was much
embarrassed because his message was
| known in this country before 1t reach
ed the only person for whom it was
intended
DIR. Dumba said he could not tel
exactly when he would leave thi.
country but preparations for steamship
accommodations are now being made
through New York agents.
Mrs. Dumba will leave Lenox to
morrow for Washington, d. G.
