| Budapest, Nov. 30.-The question
who will eventually occupy the
throne of Hungary has been a con
slant source of unrest and trouble
threatening a sudden upheaval OF
the recently attained peace and or

The -Hapsourgs declare that
the former Emperor Charles is the
real king of Hungary and that no
one else can legally aspire to the
throne until he abdicates. The in
dependent Magyars, including large
masses of the rural population, de-
clare they will never surrender
their recently-won independence.
In addition there is third group

gary's lost provinces. To achieve

homage to the king of the Serbs or
the Rumanians.
Propaganda for Charles.
Much propaganda is being cir
culated in favor of the former EN-
peror Charles or his eldest son,
Prince Otto, and grave fears are
expressed that the over-zealous
partisans of the Hapsburg dynasty
may eventually succeed in COM
polling the country to accept a
royalist coup as an accomplished
fact There is every indication that
the followers of Charles are suc--
cessful in their effort to convince
the country that the restoration of
the Hapsburgs would improve
Hungary's lamentable situation.
In view of the delicate balance
maintained between the various
factions, the following statements
are important:
Admiral Horthy the regent, re-
Gently declared: "All parties may
rest assured that / shall not abuse
my powers for the satisfaction of
my personal ambition. On the
other hand" he added, mo party
will be suffered to play pitch and
toss with the crown of Saint
Stephen. There must be no plots
and conspiracies and everybody is
to realize that for the time being,
it is the interest of the country
TO put that delicate matter under
prohibition"
Hints of Austrian Union.
The leader of the Independent
farmer party, Stephen j. Kovacs,
who represents the traditional
Magyar hatred against Austria and
the Hapsburgs, has accused the
-Chariists of planning some
surprise action and also aiming to
renew the union with Austria.
"The Hapsburgs will never give
up their former countries" said
Koyacs. 81 am reliably informed
that former Emperor Charles in
sbts on first entering Vienna and
thence marching in triumph to
Budapest. But the Magyars will
never again acquiesce in losing
their dearly-paid independence"
Kovacs expresses the opinion of
large masses of the rural popula-
ton.
Prince Louis Windischgraetz, a
personal friend of the emperor,
contested successfully for a seat in
the national assembly of Hungary
and might contribute materially in
helping to victory the case of his
friend and former sovereign. He
told the Associated Press corre-
spondent:
There can be no doubt about |
the claims of Charles. He is the |
crowned king of Hungary and un-
til he resigns or arrives at some |
with the nation, any at
tempt to dethrone him is an overt |
act of revolution.
Charles the Ideal Ruler.
Hungary" the prince continued |
"is now dependent on the help of |
one of the big powers, and will |
probably find her friend and sup
porter in France. According to |
my information, France is not
opposed to the return of
the Hapsburgs, the more so, be-
cause 1t Is an essential condition of |
maintaining permanent order in |

Charles, as a man, is the ideal |
ruler. He is entirely democratic |
and reformer, and although the !
of his enemies spared |

have been the most popular and |
the most beloved king in the whole |
world.
