KINGS BAY. Spitzbergen, May 25,
p.m.-Fighting a thick fog and
strong southwest wind. the dirigible
Italia, due at her Kings Bay base from
her successful fight to the North Pole
last night, was not expected here, even
in the best circumstances, until late
this afternoon.
At o'clock this afternoon, the base
ship Citta di Malino had lost contact
with the Italia and the heavy fog which
had shut down prevented any visual OBJ
Servations being made
Speed. n Slow. '
From information received from the
airship by the Citta di Milano. the
Italia was believed to be about 100
miles north Of Miffen Island, Spitzber-
gen, at $3.50 O'Clock this morning, but
in the face of the fog and wind was
able to make but little speed. She
was then more than "a hours on her
homeward trip from the Pole. and at
O'Clock this afternoon was almost
60 hours out from SpitZbergen
A strong southeast wind was blowing
here this morning and watchers await
ing the return of the dirigible expected
that there would be some difficulty in
making landing.
Yesterday the ship had TO work her
three motors at full speed in order
to force her way along through the
wind.
Ice coated the dirigible's sides as she
slowly made her way over the Arctic
wastes Gen. Mobile had hoped TO be
safe In port after his latest adventure
about midnight, but two hours before
that time. the base ship Citta Di Milano
received a wireless message from the
airshlp telling Of the fight being waged
against the elements and the slow prog
resS.
After dropping the cross presented
| by Pope Plus and the flags of Italy and
Milan at the top Of the world, the di-
| rigible began her return fight at 2:20
am. Two hours had been spent In cruis-

abandoned plans for landing men on

FARM CANDIDATES
CRIPPLED BY VETO
G. O. P. Cannot Nominate
One Who Backs Haugen
Bill, Observers Feel.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The scorching veto of the McNary-
Haugen farm bill by President Cool
idge has made impossible the nomina-
ton Of a presidential candidate whose
platform Is based on support OF that
measure, In the opinion of influential
Republican leaders in Washington.
The President has drawn the issue
clearly. If the party nominated Frank
0. Lowden Of Illinois. for example,
who has made his preconvention cam
paign on the farm issue In opposition
TO the President. the party would throw
the Coolidge administration overheard.
Yet the Coolidge administration Is the
basis OF the appeal for continuance In
power which the Republicans make In
the coming national campaign.
The farm bloc uproar which has
followed the veto OF the McNary-
Haugen bill may increase as the time
OF the Republican national convention
approaches. But the more bitter the
attacks upon the President from those
sources, the stronger viii be the re-
sistance OF friends of the administra-
ton. Already from the Middle West
come statements by farm leaders that
the Presidents veto message has made
his drafting for the presidential
nomination impossible.
Another Edict Foreseen.
The President, however, has several
times in the past declared that he does
not want the nomination. He may do
SO again before the convention begins
balloting. Indeed. 1t seems certain that
unless he does make definite state
ment that he will not take the nomina-
tion, votes will be cast for him on the
first ballot In the Kansas City con-
vention.

WRATH Of ITALY
FEARED IN AUSTRIA
Tearing Down of italian Flag
by Rioters Followed by
Prompt Apologies.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
VIENNA, Austria. May 25.-The Aus
trian cabinet today feared that serious
rioting, which occurred around the
Italian consulate at Innsbruck in the
Austrian Tyrol, would bring recrudes-
cence of official italian wrath against
Austria.
The italian flag. which was flying
from the consulate in honor of Italy's
declaration of war against Austria i3
years ago, precipitated the outbreak.
During a riotous demonstration the nag
was torn down and cast into the streets.
Commandatore Riccardi. Italian consul
general, was hooted and menaced.
Police reinforeements and soldiers
beat back the mob. Many women and
children were hurt and many men we're
ciubbed. The flag was promptly re-
stored, and the civic authorities has
tened TO apologize for the insult. Steps
we're taken to bring those guilty to pun
ishment, and eight alleged ringleaders
we're arrested.
Squad Salutes Flag.
Commentators Riccardi compelled
the governor TO order squad OF SOL
diers from the Austrian Army to march
past the consulate and salute the Italian
emblem. This was done, and a strong
guard was placed about the building.
and officials thought that the disorders
were ended.
The Austrian governor posted bull
letin at the city hall declaring the at
tack was "senseless" and futile" This
incensed Nationalist students. who had
been in the van of the first demonstra-
ton. They returned to the consulate
and tried to reach the flag again. AS
they struggled toward the flag they
shouted this rallying cry:
Down with our cowardly govern
ment 1t Is trying to kill our national
pride"
The bayonets of the soldiers held the
rioters at bay. AS they grew more
menacing police and soldiers charged
and drove them down side streets.
There the lines held until after dark.
when heavy rain dispersed the mob.
Protests Tyrol Rule.
"A few months ago Austria made
worldwide protest against alleged un-
favorable treatment OF Austrians and
Germans I'm the Italian Tyrol. Premier
Mussolini made this the occasion of
strong denunciation of Austria for at
tempting 10 interfere with an affair
which concerned Italy alone. He threat
ened to take severe steps against Au-
stria II the matter were carried farther.
Austrians had this In mind when the
Italian flag suffered at Innsbruck. 1t
was also feared that such conduct ON
the part OF Austria could only damage
the reputation OF the Tyrol abroad and
would arouse indignation on the part OF
all persons peacefully inclined.
The government hoped today that
the prompt apologies given at Inns
bruck, the restoration and salute of the
flag and the defense OF the consulate
from second attack would convince
Premier Mussolini that every possible
official step had been taken and that
individual extremists alone were TO
blame.
