The Hungarian official Telegraphic Bureau circulates a statement by the MHinister for the Interior, M. Ivan Rakowsky, declaring that the whole story of the intended coup against the Government, for which the Chongrad bomb was to have been the signal, is to be traced back to the fantastic ideas of a group of politically undeveloped and irresponsible persons resident in Chongrad and its vicinity.
