Washington, Oct. 29.-Diplomatic
dispatches received here today based
on advices from Budapest say Count
karolyi has failed in his attempt to
establish an independent govern
ment in Hungary with representa-
tives OF all the people because the
Slav and Rumanian representatives
refused to join him. 1t is assumed
that the Karolyi government, re-
ferred to in Vienna reports through
Copenhagen, was set up without the
support OF the Slavs and Ru-
manianS.
According to the Budapest dis
patches, the situation there is ex-
tremely serious.
Peace treaties between the differ
ent nationalitics of Austrian and
Hungary and the entente powers
are considered unavoidable.
What is reported as a gigantic
movement" has broken out. Its ma
ture is yet only partially known. but
it is said to be evident a Magyar
national council has proclaimed its
dictatorship and that Count Karo-
lyi as president of this body has
been given this mission known to
Emperor Charles. The young Macy
ars are forming military organiza-
tion and the people in the streets of
Budapest are demanding the renun-
citation of the political alliance with
Germany.
