Budapest OCT. Zo.-EOrmeF Efrrl-
peror Charles has refused to renounce
the Hungarian throne for himself and
oldest son and steps were taken today
to convene the national assembly to
vote dethronement
Charles, after his capture by Hun
garian nationalist troops, feared that
he was about to meet the same fate as
the late Russian czar. He pleaded
that Count Andrassy, Count Rakovsky
and Count. Gratz be allowed to ac-
company him to the convent at tt
hany, on Lake Balaton, where he was
temporarily interned.
Receive No UItimatum.
The ultimatum which the little
entente" was reported to have sent to
this city has not been delivered, SO
far as learned. 1t was reported from
Belgrade that tie ultimatum gave Hun
gary forty-eight hours to turn over
Charles to the little entente" The
little entente" consists of Jugo-Slz
via, Czecho-Slov aka and Rumania.
1t is learned from a reliable source
that the allies are bringing pressure
upon Belgrade and Prague to compel
abandonment of the warlike attitude
of these capitals. The allies warned
the little entente" that the continued
military measures aimed at Hungary
might cause a reaction in Hungary in
Charles favor.
Charles Must Abdicate.
Former Emperor Charles must re-
nounce for all time his rights to the
ro-Hungarian throne. This die
tum was issued by Count Bethlen,
Hungarian premier.
Charles must abdicate; there are
no two ways about it," said the pre-
mier. by his own actions he has
destroyed his last chance of ever re-
gaining the throne. The government
will not allow him to remain in the
country because he has twice broken
his word and fought his former peo-
pie and has broken their laws and
their constitution.
Would Always Be Menace.
Charles presence here would al
ways be a potential casus belli. His
hazardous adventure has destroyed
our own attempt to bring about re-
conciliation with the little entente
We were making progress in that di-
rection when Charles entered the
country and turned over all our work.
I'VE deliberately allowed Charles to
approach within about six miles of
Budapest hoping that a truce could
be arranged that would avert blood
shed. Charles had only 1000 men,
but We did not want any fighting at
all.
THE allies appreciated our efforts,
for they have opened the frontiers
which were formerly closed"
AristOcracy Hard Hit.
Hungarian aristocracy involved in
The conspiracy to place Charles upon
the Hungarian throne is now engaged
in bitter fight in the political arena
Small land owners and the land aris-
tocracy are arrayed against each other
in a conflict which is expected to re-
suit in stormy scenes in the national
assembly in the next few days. The
peasants have won the first phase of
the battle.
