proclaimed themselves respectively mili

many, are report«l barricaded in the war
ministry building in Munich, which is
surrounded by troops loyal to the gov

Advices from Berlin and other cen
ters show that Dr. von Kahr, Bavarian
minister under the von Knilling regime,
and the reichswehr commander, von Los
sow, have ranged themselves against the
I.udendortf-Hitler organization, and that
the eonp was confined almost, wholly to
the Munich brewhouse in which it was
•staged.
The Intense activity in Berlin which
followed first news of the outbreaks has
died down, according to direct dispatches
from the capital, and the situation at
mid forenoon was such that police guards
were withdrawn from the government ■
buildings.

ich is scarce, direct communication hav- ,
ing been suspended, railway traffic stop- 1

British foreign office from Berlin con- •
firm reports that Adolph Hitler has dc- *
- dared himself chancellor of Germany
with General Ludendoiff as minister of *
war and commander-iu-ehief of Germany.
Members of the cabinet are in con
tinuous session in Berlin and arc deter- 1
mined to protect the republic. It is be
lieved in the capital that the reichswehr
will remain loyal to the Central govern
ment.
Not Helping in Revolt
Berlin, Nov. 9 1 :50 a. ni. (By the As
sxialcd Press).— Latest advices from f
Munich up to his hour indicate that the (
Bavarian dictator vun Kahr. anil the (
reiehswehr commander von Lossow, arc
are not identified with the Ludciidorff- ,
Hitler putsch and have ordered the ar- j
rest of these leaders.
The coup appears to be wholly con- (
fined to Munich brewhouse, where it was
staged and federal troops are not l par
ticipating in the uprising. ]
Berlin is quiet and police protection is
being withdrawn from the government

COTTON GOES TO A NEW
HIGH LEVEL, FOR SEASON
An Early Decline of 70 to 78 Points
is Followed by Advance of One Cent
a Pound.
New York, Nov. B.—An early decline
of 70 to 73 points was followed by an
advance of approximately a cent a-pouml
on a renewal of active general buying
in tlie cotton market today. January
contracts sold up from to 33.1)3
and all deliveries made pew high records
for the season. January closed at
33.07, with the general market closing
steady at net advances of 2 to 40 points.
The market opened barely steady at
a decline of 11 to 23 points on the pres
ent crop positions because of rather easi
.julivcrpooj caUjfc and reports «f «*©■»-
nr ‘-fffi. heft. There was
he.-ivy realizing ami probably considerable
selling for a reaction under which priees
soon worked off to 33.25 for December
and ,33.10 for March. These trices rep
resented reactions of about 85 to 00
points from yesterday's high records
which was evidently sufficient to bring
ill more irade buying and rebuying b.v
recent sellers.
The market steadied ill consequence
and turned sharply upward during the
