(Copyright, 1934, By the Associated Press) Vienna, Aug. 1.—(?)—Another Nazi Tebel, Friedrich Wurnig, who shot and killed Police Commandant Franz Hickl at Innsbruck July 25, was hanged at 8 p. m. Wednesday night after being carried to the gallows. A court-martial sentenced his com- panion, Christian Meyer, to 20 years’ imprisonment. Another court-martial of a Nazi was scheduled to have been ,| held in Vienna Wednesday afternoon but was postponed until morning. With armed opposition crushed, the Austrian government Wednesday be- {gan & mopping up campaign against Nazis inside and outside the country. On the one hand was the issuance of an order forbidding salary pay- ments to any public employes sus- Pected of aiding or encouraging the Nazi revolt; with the other hand, Austria officially pointed an accus- ing finger at Germany for the blood which flowed from the Nazi attempt to seize the government one week ago ‘Wednesday. An announcement approved by the cabinet said directions to Austrian Nazis were sent into the country sev- eral weeks ago from Germany. The plans, which included the pos- sibility-.of Civil. War, said Walter{ Adam, propaganda chief, in a radio address, were seized in the shoes of &@ man arrested in upper Austria. This man confessed receiving $100 for de- livering the documents—now partially decoded, Adam said. Included in the mopping-up cam- paign was the court martial at Inns- bruck of two Nazis who killed the commandant of police there last Wed- nesday.- A Nazi companion of the two who were hanged here Tuesday in connection with the actual killing of Chancellor Dolifuss was expected to go on trial at another court martial in Vienna. Another government announcement stated Franz Holzweber and Otto Planetta, who were hanged Tuesday for their part in the putsch, died with the cry “heil Hitler” on their ted | lips. The cabinet is still delaying action on approval or rejection of Vice Chan- cellor Franz von Papen as a special German envoy to Vienna. Government Still Watchful Although the revolution is appar- ently crushed except for sporadic bombings, the Fascist government headed by Dr. Kurt Schuschnigg con- tinued jits vigorous anti-opposition campaign. All persons who hear disturbing po- litical rumors were ordered to report 1 the sources to authorities. J Were promptly denied by responsible government officials in Berlin.

The party composed an entourage of nine automobiles, each carrying seven men. Most of them were members of Dr. R. W.

Marched to Capitol | How many persons marched from Bismarck to the state capitol build- ing during the recent meeting of the Farm Holiday association here? Arguments have been heard on the point and estimates varied from 500 to indefinite “thousands.” The picture above ends the argument, Photo was taken from the tower of the capitol building as the group approached the structure. Only re- cently was it offered to The Tribune as the best evidence on the dis- puted point. It shows the number in line was less than 250.

Dale's action came soon after fed- eral authorities had ordered him to Pay no more checks from a $600,000 trust fund set up with federal funds for use of the state highway depart- ment.

The state law provides that the highway p-|commissioner must be bonded prop- erly, to function legally in his office.

The Democrats, under new leader- ship, will conduct a campaign based on reason and will make no appeal to prejudice or hatred. These were the outst devel- opments of the meetings here Wed- nesday of the state central commit- tees of the rival parties. Apparently authentic reports circu- lated after a caucus of Republican committeemen friendly to Langer Wednesday morning were to the effect that Langer would resign as a candi- date and the committee would select his wife to run in his place. Meanwhile, however, there was the Possibility that the committee’s right to select a candidate would be chal- Jenged, perhaps in a court. action. In an opinion to Noel Tharalson, Ram- sey county committee member, Clyde Duffy, who managed the recent In- dependent campaign, contended that Langer was not nominated in June and hence there is no vacancy of a kind which can be filled by the com- mittee. His contention was that a Party delegate convention was the only available method of selecting a candidate for head of the Republican ticket. How far anyone will go in support of this view, however, was not made clear. Wife to Succeed Husband A man high in the Langer councils said the deal to replace the former executive with his wife had been com- Pleted and that a resolution to that effect would be offered at the com- mittee meeting late Wednesday after- noon, The “no prejudice or hatred” slo- gan was raised by Thomas H. Moodie in an address to the Democratic com- mittee when it convened Wednesday. The new leadership will come with the selection of a new party chairman, Fred W. MoLean of Fargo having asked that he not be re-elected. The Democrats held private dis- cussions Tuesday as to the state plat- form which they should adopt and indications were that various con- troversial matters could be decided only by a formal vote. The Nonpartisan Republicans, most of them nominal supporters of Form- er Governor William Langer, were Pondering their peculiar difficulties but there was a question as to wheth- er the most heated arguments would break out in public.
