HUCGARIAN RIOTS
STRENUOUS LEGISLATION. KOVACA'S FATE. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright, Received 9, 5.5 p.m. 'Buda-Pesth, June 9.
The Government did not prevent the ejected members returning, fearing that the cinematograph would exploit a tussle with the police and use the films for electioneering purposes.
Several Ministerialists Tushed and kicked Kovaca's head and body, and belabored him with their fists, not realising that he had been shot in the head. He was removed unconscious.
Count Tisza remained unperturbed, and hastened to the gallery to convince ■his wife that he was unhurt.
At the resumed sitting the Ministerialists adopted 800 clauses of the new Hungarian civil code in a quarter of an hour.
Kovaca was the son of a small Jewish landowner, and made a large fortune on the Stock Exchange, which he squandered. He was threatened by bankruptcy. The bullet has been extracted, and there is a slight hope of his living. He enquired as to Count Tisza's condition, and hearing that he was uninjured said, "Now I can die in peace. I shan't cross the border a murderer."
