BUDAPEST WITNESSING
CONTEST OF ROYAL|STS
Aristocrats Gather for Parliament
Opening, Expecting Revival of

BUDAPEST. Friday. February 13
(by the Associated Press).-Many
| thousands of aristocrats have gather
ed for the opening Of parliament. at
tracted by the possibility of the re-
of the landed aristocracy and the
clergy. One Of their headquarters is
in the palace of Count Ladislas s
karolyi. which flies the banner OF the
royalst party: another is in the
palace of Prince Esterhazy. from
which the campaign of Archduke
Joseph is being conducted.
Competition Between Factions.
There is much competition between
these headquarters, the Karolyi fac
ton working for the restoration of
the royalist rule, without reference
to choice of ruler, while the Ester
hazy organization is working for
Archduke Joseph
One of the arguments for the
restoration OF royalty, given by
Countess Bethlan. who is supposed to
be a descendant of the rulers of
Pennsylvania during the Turkish
domination. is: 1T is cheaper than a
republic.''
Tickets for the opening Of the ma
tional assembly on February 16 are
being distributed with great care as
Ia precaution against communist aS

FarMers' Party in Majority.
The farmers party has d majority Of
five over the Christian nationalists.
and the new government is expected
to be formed by these two parties,
both of which are largely royalists.
One Of the first tasks of the assembly
will be the election of a regent. which
will probably provoke a lively con-
test.
The assembly is likely to rush
through it's work in order to elect a
constitutional parliament, so that the
peace treaty may be ratified, in case
the assembly decides it has not suf-
ficient authority to ratify it itself.
Many disputes are arising as to the
powers and prerogative of the assem-
bly,. especially regarding the question
Of the dynasty.
