OF AUSTRIA FOR

Indignant That His Message to

Should Have Become Public,
Ambassador Says" He Prob

Through the Austrian Press.
Lenox, Mass., Dispatch, 14th.
The Austro-Hungarian ambassa
dor, Dr. Constantin T. Dumba, to-dav
announced that he had requested his
foreign office to recall him on leave
of absence in order that he might
make a personal report on the situa
tion in the United States which re
sulted in a request by the United
btates for his recall.
In authorizing the Associated Press
to make the above announcement.- Dr.
Dumba expressed indignation that the
text of his message to the Austro
Hungarian minister of foreign affairs
Baron Von Burian, already had be
come public without his consent or
knowledge.
In view of "the situation," he said
he probably would not make public
the statement of his position which
he had in mind to give to the Ameri
can press. He would, however, have
something to say through the Aus-
tnan press when he reached
enna.
"I
Vi-
may say" said Dr. Dumba.
"that I have sent this message to
our minister of foreign affairs:
"'I beg your excellency to recall
me on leave of absence for personal
report.'
"This was a purely official mes
sage and now for the first time I au
thorize its publication. It was sent
trom the embassy by the only means
which I had to communicate with
my government and to my astonish
ment, it has become public though
not through the Associated Press to
whom I had planned to give formal
statement when I was prepared to
do so. In view of the situation now
