Show PURPOSE LOFT?, DIE SAYS Hungarian Ruler Denies He Is in Budapest as a Hapsburg. j By FARMER MURPHY. (Chicago Tribune Cable, Copyright.) BUDAPEST, Aug. 16, via Paris, Aug. 17. la-view of the criticism in entente countries, especially in England and America, of the return of the Haps-burgs Haps-burgs to power in this country, it , -seemed desirable to obtain from Archduke Arch-duke Joseph a full explanation of his position and intentions.
