BERLIN, Jan. 81. WH Arch
duke Otto Won Hapsburg, 20-year-
old pretender to the throne of
Hungary, left Berlin in doubt today
over whether his visit here was in
connection with his doctors thesis
on Tyrolean agricultural history
or in the interests of his restora-
ton to the Hapsburg throne.
1t was certain that Otto, seek
ing his degree at Liege university,
did extensive research work here.
Whether it was entirely in connec-
ton with Tyrolean agriculture his
tory remained in doubt. He was
received by President Won linden
burg, conferred with Adolf Hitler,
Nazi leader and DR.. Hjalmar Scott,
former head of the reichsbank,
and was reported to have visited
the former crown prince.
It was rumored, without con-
firmation, that Otto sought benevo-
lent neutrality, if not active coop

economic forces in realization of
his throne pretensions. He passed
four weeks here almost unnoticed.

the appointment of receivers for

receivers have been able to arrange
favorable changes in terms Of long
leases which could not be achieved
by the corporations directly. II
