AUSTR|ANS BOW
I'd EMOCRACY

VIENNA, Nov. 20 G.N.SD Bow
ing to democratic tastes by strip
ping the occasion of the imperial
pomp and ceremony which at
tended it in the past, Austrian
Monarchists today celebrated the
twenty-first birthday of Archduke
Otto of Hapsburg by demanding
he be permitted to return to
Vienna Ito support the govern
ment" of Chancellor Rngelbert
Dollfuss.
For the first time since Otto
went into exile with creation of
the Austrian republic, the mobiles
who have persistently pleaded his
cause as pretender to the Austro-
Hungarian throne attended the
birthday services in civilian dress.
From the year the Austrian eagle
was inferred with the Hapsburg
dynasty November 20 has always
been the occasion for an outpour-
ing of Monarchist sentiment and a
display of Monarchist attire.

Political eyes today were turn
ing to West Virginia, where a Con.
gressional election on November
% may furnish test of the power
of the Roosevelt administration.
Howard M. Gore, former COVER
nor of the State and a member of
the Coolidge Cabinet, is seeking to
capture the third Congressional
district for the Republicans from
Andrew Edmiston, publisher of
the weston Democrat.
Fight On National Issues
The campaign is being fought
largely on National issues, al
though attacks of Gore on the tax
policy of the State Democratic
administration have brought local
issues in it.
The district, which became va
cant with the death of Lynn Hor-
nor, Democrat, is considered nor
mally Republican, although Hor-
nor carried it the last two regu-
lar elections.

D. c. BREAD QUIZ
DECISION DUE

Decision will be reached at a
conference called by Senator Will
liam H. King CD of Utah, late
today as to whether the Senate
District Committee will continue
the probe of the recent increases
in price of bread in the District.
Among those to participate are
Robert w. Lynch, Assistant Cor
poration Counsel who handled the
preliminary probe of the ques-
ton; Frederic C. Howe, of the
AAA, and representatives of the
Department of Justice.
Mr. Lynch'S preliminary survey
has been turned over to Senator
King and will be used as a basis
of determining if further action
is needed. 1t is thought likely
that the probe will be pushed in
view of the attitude taken by
certain bakeries in refusing to
turn over data to Mr.. Lynch for
his investigation.
If the Senate committee de-
cideS to go ahead with the probe,
they will have the authority to
subpoena the books and papers
In question. which have so far
been closed to the investigators.
