Hur?n von Bunan, already had become public without hi? consent or knowl? edge. In view of "the situation." Dr. Dtim b? ?aid, he probably would not make public a statement of hi? position. He would, however, have something to say through ?he Austrian press when he reached Vienna. "I may say,' ?aid Dr. Dumba, "that I have sent thi? message to our Min ister of Foreign Affairs: "'I beg your excellency to recnll me on leave of absence for personal re? port.' "This was n purely official me?snge and now for the first time I authorize its publication.

Archi? bald for hi? part in the Dumb? affair ! his defence will be that he "did not I know It was loaded." Thi? wa? indi? cated in a statement given out last night by Charles Mercer, manager of Mr. Archibald's New York office. "As general manager of James F. J Archibald's offices here for the las'. Bvi 1 years," write- Mr. Mercer, "I have nat uially been in close and constant touch with all of his activities during that time. It ha?; |us1 occurred to nu? that ! Mr. Archibald'-- ?peaking knowledge of , the German language is very limited, and that he is unable to read or write German at all is demonstrated by th? fact that the small amount of corre? spondence he has with persona! finnd ? n Germany is sent to a public trans? lator here in the city, and our check i book records thi? fact. 'My reason for introducing thi? an ; gle is to point out how reasonable it ! is to suppose that if Mr. Archibald had had the ?lightest inkling as to the con? tents of the 'unsealed letter' he would most certainly have read and volun? tarily turned it over to the proper au? thorities, or at least would have de ?troyed it- Furthermore, it does not ? em rea--onable to me that Archibald or anybody else would have consented to risk bearing such a massage except verbally? "1 understand from newspaper re? ports that *h<- letter was in Dr. Dum ha's handwriting, so that had Mi Archibald wanted to read the letter it would have been impossible for him to decipher it.
