VIENNA, Oct 22-Former Emper-
or Charles of Austria Hungary arrived
at Oedenburg, Burgenland, Friday
afternoon in an airplane from Switzer-
land according to an Oedenburg mes
sage today and is reported to be pro-
ceeding toward Budapest, escorted by
Oestenberg troops.
Admiral Horthy the Hungarian reg
ent, is rumored here to have fled from
Budapest this morning following news
OF the arrival of ex-Emperor Charles
in his former domain. Budapest ad
vices say that legitimate government
has been formed there.
The Oestenburg fortress immediate
ly went over 10 Charles upon his ar
rival at Oedenburg, and he was pro-
claimed king, according to the mes
sage.
Communications Cut
The railways and telephone and
telegraph lines have been cut at the
Hungarian frontier. The situation in
Vienna is tense as the result of the
former rulers sensational move.
1t is reported here that the Czechs
ment announced this forenoon that all
precautions had been taken to deal
with the situation. The entire police
force and the city guard, including
the reserves, was called out and extra
ammunition was sent to the frontier
forces.
The allied representatives in Buda-
pest today made joint protest to the
Hungarian government against the re-
turn of former Emperor Charles to
Hungarian territory, it was learned
here today.
A provisional government, the ad-
vices state, has been formed in Burg
enland in the ex-emperor's interest un-
der Count julius Andrasey, former
Austro- Hungarian foreign minister.
The district of Burgenland is disput-
ed territory lying along the frontier
between Austria and Hungary. 1t
was awarded to Austria, but was .oc-
cupied some months ago by Hungar-
ian irregular troops, the situation
there being similar to that in Fiuem
when that city was under the control
of Captain Gabrielle D'Annunzio.
At a conference held in Venice last
week it was decided that Burgenland
should be turned over to Austria. but
that Oedenburg and its surrounding
district should hold a plebiscite which
would decide the future status of that
immediate territory Hungarian lead
ers, particularly former Premier Erie
drich, declared they would not with
draw the Hungarian troops in the dis
trict.
Feared Charles Return.
Behind the attempt of the Hungar-
ians to retain possession of Burgen-
land there has been the threat of a re-
turn to west Hungary of former EN-
peror Charles. After he returned to
Switzerland late last March, he was
given until Sept. to decide upon a
permanent place of residence outside
of Switzerland.
This time was later extended indef-
! initely, but it was known the Swiss
government was anxious for him to
leave the country, as it feared anarch-
ist conspiracies which might involve
Switzerland in controversy with the
allies.
When Charles attempted to regain
power in Hungary there was a threat
On the part of the little entente-con-
siSting of Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo-Slav-
tion against Hungary if Charles was
not forced to leave the country. The
allied governments also made repre-
sentation to Admiral Horthy, the Hun
garian regent, in an endeavor to Sc
cure the expulsion of Charles.
