VON NUBER MENTIONED
WASHINGTON', Dec. 4.
Captain Franz von Pnpcn, German

lcciuested by this Govcrntnent, will go
to MunIco, It ns learned nt the German
nmbassy today. Captain Karl Hoy-Ud,
German nnvnl attache, whose presence
in this country also Is no longer desired
by tho Government, will endeavor to re
turn to Germnny.
It was stated by nn official of the
Embassy this mornluK that the Stnto
Department hns assured Ambassador von
Hcrnstorff that It will try to get safe
conduct for cither or both of tho
nttaches. The olllclal added that the
safo conduct will bo asked only for
Captain Boj-Kd. Ho pointed out that

to Mexico, and thnt he will go there
soon. He will mnko tho trip by rail, It
was stated.
Captain Ho-IM arrived nt tho aermnn
Embassy today from New York and went
Immediately Into conference with Count
von Uernstorff.
VON NUBER HINTED AT.
All Indications today pointed to the re
call of Austrian Consul General von
Nubcr, of New York. Instead of the
apology requested by Austria for the
Justice Depaitment's official statement
Implicating von Nubcr, It was believed
certain tint ho would get the samo
punishment ns Hoy-Ed nnd von Papen.
Delay of tho State and Justice Depart
ments In repudiating thci von Nuber
stntcment wus understood to portend von
Nuber's retirement. Several other Teu

leave this country.
That the. Administration's dlspleasuro

hinted.
Any action against von Nuber by the
Stale Dopiitmcnt will bo direct and not
through tho Austrian Embassy. Cancella

to be the procedure adopted. Tho only
