'EX-KING FAILS;
TRIES SUICIDE
Charles, Captured BY Hum
garian Force, Saved
By His Wife
ARE PRISONERS
IN A CASTLE
Attempt to Regain Throne
Resulted In Dismal
Failure

Budapest, Oct. 25 (Bv the Associat
ed Pressl Former Emperor Charles
whose attempt to re-estabIish himseli
upon the Magyar throne met with dis
NAL failure yesterday, attempted to
commit suicide by shooting following
his arrest near komorn., Former En-.
press Zita saw him preparing to shoot
himself, and prevented him from carry
ing out his intention.
The former emperor and empress are
now prisoners in the Esterhazy castle
at Tata Tovaros, and Thomas Beau
mont Hohler, British high commission
er in Hungary, is hurrying there with
the representatives of other nations to
insure the safety of the prisoners.
Orders sent to the rebellious troops
supporting Charles by Admiral Horthy,
the Hungarian agent, spelled the doom
of Charles attempt to regain at least
a part of his former empire The regent
reminded the soldiers of their oath OF
allegiance to him and demanded their
unconditional obedience, adding that
the success Of their undertaking would
mean the ruin of the country. The firm
stand of Admiral Horthy had its effect,
and the royalist forces scattered. seem
ing to vanish into thin air. Latest ad-
vices from the section of country
around Komorn indicated the govern
nent troops continued their pursuit Of
the rovalists and that the Karlist pre-
mier, M. Rakovsky and Count Andras-
sy were among the supporters of the
former monarch captured by the loyal
troops.
Charles plan to return to the Hunga
rian throne having failed. the Hunga-
rian government will probably await
action by the allied powers regarding
his future place of residence. II is
known that Switzerland will not again
give him refuge, and 1t is possible that
he will be removed to some place whera
be will be virtually a prisoner of the
allied powers.
The followers Of the former emperor |
are reported to have lost half their |
number in attempting TO retreat from
Bicske to Tata Tovaros. The railroad |
line had been cut and they were forced |
to abandon their trains When they at
