ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON, Sept 9.-Ambas- aador Penfield at Vienna has been instructed by cable to inform the Austro Hungarian government that Dr. Constantin Dumba no longer is acceptable as an envoy to the United States and to ask his recall.
 Secretary Lansing formally an nounced this action tonight. It was tEe ansH CT of the American gov ernment to Dumba's explanation of his intercepted letter to Vienna out lining plans for handicapping plants in this country making war supplies for the allies.
 Ambassador Penfield was instruc- ted yesterday to deliver the following note to the foreign office:

 Secretary Lansing has cancelled the passports of James Archibald the American correspondent, upon whom British secret service men found communications from Dumba to his foreign office on the subject of fomenting strikes in American munitions plants. Archibald is now at Rotterdam, and American Minister Van Dyke was instructed to issue an emergency passport to permit his re- turn to the United States, when the department of justice probably will be called on to decide if he violated any law of the United States in acting as a messenger for one of the European belligerents.
