WOULD-BE ASSASSIN MAULED.

M. TISZA'S COMPOSURE,

REPENTANCE OF KOVACS

(Rocoiyed Juno 9, 5.5 p.m.)

Buda Pesth, June 8

| Tho Government did not prevent the ejected mombers returning, fearing that ! cinematographers would exploit the tvs- ! slo with the police, and use the films for electioneering purposes. Several Ministerialists rushed and kicked Kovacs' head and body, and belaboured him with their fists, not realising that bo was *tiwt in the head. Hewas removed unconscious. M. Tisaa was not perturbed. He -hastened to tho gallojry to convince his wife that ho was unhurt, and then resumed tho sitting. The Ministerialists adopted 800 clauI ses of tho now Hungarian Civil Code in a quarter of an hour. I Kovacs is the son of a small Jewish j landowner. He made a large fortune •on the Stock Exchange, which he squandered and was threatened with bankruptcy. Tho bullet was extracted, and there is a slight hope- of his living. Ho inquired as to M. Tisza'e condition, and hearing that he was not injured said, "Novr I can die in peace. I shan't cross tho border a murderer."
