BY the Associated Press.
MUNICH, July 26.--Headquarters OF
the Austrian Nazis in Munich was un-
disguisedly jubilant today over the
turn Of events in Austria.
Leaders emphasized Germany's in
tention of maintaining its policy of
"watchful waiting" but meanwhile
incoming trains disgorged subordinate
leaders and officers Of exiled Austrian
legionnaires in Germany, apparently
under orders to report to headquar-
ters.
Three thousand of the legionnaires
already were on the scene, fully armed
and equipped with steel helmets. Fill
ing five local barracks, they were not
permitted to leave the premises.
Reports that Chancellor Hitler of
Germany was arriving here from Bey-
reuth today to discuss the Austrian
situation received no confirmation.
The press spokesman at the Brown
House German Nazi headquarters,
said the chancellor still is in Middle
Germany"
Other Leaders Expected.
He declared that Ernst F. Hanf-
staengl, Hitler's conf1dant and con-
tact man for the foreign press, had
left for Berlin.
Reports were current that other
leaders from Berlin we're expected
here, but local Nazi off1cials declined
to discuss the matter.
Their reserve was not shared at
the Austrian Nazi headquarters. how.
ever, where one Nazi sub-leader con-
fldently asserted:
Mark my words: In two weeks we
can come and go as we please in Aus
tria. The Austrian boycott will be
over by that time"
The Austrians stated. moreover that
DolIfuss had been warned to leave the
country Saturday, his wife having al
ready gone to Italy.
Prince Ernst Won Starhemberg. vice
chancellor, was described as having
mad the good luck to be in Venice.
Paper Expresses Sympathy.
The sympathy of the German
Brown Shirts for the Austrian Nazis
found its strongest expression in Hit
Ter own paper, the Voelkischer Beo-
oachter. which declared the Austrian
events represented the outbursts of
public feeling against men who built
on bayonets and machine guns"
The nation with the strength of
despair has shaken off its hated gov
ernment," 1t said.
Hopes were expressed by the paper
for a return to common sense and
the spirit of reconciliation"
Despite uncertainty over the Sit
uation south of the border, Austrian
Nazi circles voiced confidence that
the government at Vienna soon will
be under Na1 control.

NEUTRAL COURSE

Struggles to Steer Clear OF
Implication in Austrian
Strife.

BERLIN, July 26.-Germany main
tanned a strict neutral course today.
struggling to steer clear of any i'm
plication in the Austrian Nazi up
rising.
The German minister to Austria,
Herr Rieth, was recalled for his un-
authorized Intervention in Vienna,
and the Austro-G German frontier was
closed.
Rieth Recall Indicative.
The recall of Rieth was regarded as
Germany is. in view of her difficult
that the third Reich is not involved
In the Austrian situation.
In the same light was regarded
the official announcement that the
border has been closed to all political
fugitives from Austria.
The Rieth recall. however, was far
ther interpreted as a move to provide
Chancellor Hitler with first hand ac-
counts Of the Austrian putsch.
There has been no indication as
to whether Rieth is being blamed for
his Intervention, or for marking Ger
many as being connected with the
uprising
A brief government communique
was issued today, emphasizing only
that the minister acted without con-
sent Of the government" in con-
Quoting the negotiations which ended
the siege Of the chancellory.
The Berlin press did not comment
on the recall, but displayed the fact
prominently on front pages packed
with Austrian news, which was read
aVidy. Even the presentation of the
news, however, was carefully calcu-
lated to avoid any impression that
NaA Germany is either involved or
overjoyed.
Denies Party Action.
Alfred Frauenfeld, Austrian Nazi
leader exiled In Germany, denied that
his party engineered the revolt and
said it was simply a split in the DOLL
fuss government.
AS for Rieth's action, he told the
Associated Press by long distance tele-
THE German Minister only assisted
on the urgent request of the Austrian
government to cry halt to the i'm
minent bloodshed."
Berlin sources said Maj. Emil Fey,
while still a prisoner of the Nazi
putschmen, telephoned to Rieth, pre-
vailing upon him to obtain assurances
that the plotters would be given safe
conduct to the border.
After obtaining such assurances
which were later revoked-it was said
he went to the chancellery and con-
Quoted the negotiations in a personal
capacity.
Reurath Sends Condolences.
Konstantin Won Reurath, German
minister of foreign affairs, in tele-
gram to the Austrian government ex-
tended condolences because of the
death of Chancellor Dollfuss.
1t was announced officially that
Chancellor Hitler left Bayreuth in
consideration of the bad events in
Austria, and has decided to make
no more visits to the Bayreuth Wag-
merriam Festival"
1t was reported in a reliable quar-
ter that Hitler is on the way to
