April 11, 1931


Two members of the Habsburg family will "appear as parliamentary candidates at the forthcoming Hungarian general elections, according to a report in the New York Times.  Archduke Albrecht, whose recent morganatic marriage with the divorced wife of a Hungarian diplomat caused a "recent society sensation," and Archduke Josef Franz are both running as independent candidates.  Archduke Albrecht is running as "an anti-Government candidate."
