Goes to Summer Home; Refuses to Discuss Recall; Bernstorff is Silent. ‘Washington, Sept. 11.—President Wilson’s request for the recall of Austrian ambassador, Dr. Constantin Theodor Dumba, has broadened into a situation involving Capt. Franz von Papen, the military attache of. the German embassy, Alexander Pereked, the Austrian consul gen- eral in New York, and possibly, Count von Bernstorff, the German ambas- sador. The official view is, that the ambassador, altliough technically in- volved, is not so seriously concerned as the nfilitary attache or the consul zeneral. It is not unlikely that both of the latter may be recalled or dis- missed from the country. Near Breaking Point. Coupled with Germany’s disap- pointing and unsatisfactory explana- tion of the sinking of the White Star iiner Arabic, after Count von Bern- storff had given assurances that full satisfaction would be given if it was astablished that a German submarine sank the ship, official Washington viewed the friendly relations with the Germanic powers strained more to- ward the breaking point than ever before. = Crisis Not Passed. ' . Hopes that the submarine crisis had been safely passed and that a break between Germany and:’th ited States had been avoided-were- displaced today by misgivings.- Talk of the possibility of breaking diplo- matic relations was heard again, al- though this time it involved both the central powers and the theory that Austria, after having her ambassa- dor practically dismissed from the country, might stand with her ally in relations with the United States. Another German Note. Official reports that a second note had been started from the Berlin for- eign office for Washington furnished about the only basis of optimism in official quarters so far as the submar- ine controversy was concerned. There was no official intimation that an- other communication was on the way, but the American reply to the note on the Arabic will be delayed until officials can learn whether to ex- pect anything additional from Berlin. It may be stated, however, that if nothing comes in the nature of a modification of Germany’'s explana- tion, an American note will reach Berlin probably early mnext week which will set forth the views of the United States in a brief and. unmis- takable manner. Makes Offensive Statement. Captain Von Papen is involved in the Dumba case because he forward- ed to James F. J. Archibald, the Am- erican correspondent, traveling under an American pagsport, a personal let- ter, in which he made offensive state- ments about American officials. More- over, Ambassador Dumba’s letter to the Vienna foreign office: found on Archibald, mentioned Von Papen as having approved what the state de- partment in its note to the Austro- Hungarian government characterized as a conspiracy to crippie the legiti- mate industries of the United States. Consul General Nuper is drawn into the case because the Dumba letter disclosed that he was connected with this strike plan. WILL REMOVE AGENTS Washington, Sept. 11.—A general clean-up of all German and Austrian agents who are convicted of partici- pation of plots to cripple American industries, has been decided upon by government authorities, according to highest authorities. _The government will attempt to Temove by recall all offending diplo- matic representatives. Criminal ac- tion may be brought against their agents who are involved in the plots. von ; DUMBA IS SILENT . New York, Sept. 11.—Ambassador Dumba has checked out from the St. Regia hotel and has gone to his sum- mer home at Lenox, Mass. He re- fused to discuss his recall. % ‘Ambassador Bernstorff is still in- the city but he refused to comment on the situation except to nnintc his former denial that he gave Arcl bald papers. 5
