Three Bullets Fired at Yrigoyen,

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Decem-
Der 24-An attempt to- assassinate
President Hipolito Yrigoyen today was
frustrated by the quickness of his
guards, and the attacker was promptly
shot down, seven bullets being found in
his body.
The assailant, who was described by
police as an italian anarchist named
Gualberto Marinelli, A. fired at least
three shots at the presidential automo-
bile as the President was en- route to
the palace from his home.
Two Are Injured.
President Yrigoyen was unhurt, but
an employe of the Investigations Office
was wounded in the stomach and was
taken to a hospital critically injured.
Another attendant also was injured.
1t was reliably reported that the
Presidents chauffeur was killed and the
police commissioner injured, but be-
cause of the great excitement at the
scene and the reticence of the police it
was impossible to obtain official
confirmation.
The attack took place on the Inter-
national road, Marinelli concealing him
self beside it and then springing out to
fire as the Presidents automobile
passed.
Escort Returns Fire.
The asSailant's shots had barely rung
out when the Presidents escort re-
turned the fire, pouring a stream of
bullets at the man and telling him
where he stood.
President Yrigoyen has long been one
of the most powerful figures in
Argentina. He was first elected to the
chief executives post in 1916 and was
In Office until 1922. He was reelected
in 1928.
