VIENNA, JULY 28. BREAKDOWN OF A LAST DÄRING DES- PERATE EFFORT TO WREST SUCCESS FROM ABJECT FAILURE HAS FINALLY SPELLED THE DOOM OF THE NAZ! REVOLT IN AUSTRIA.

The plan was well-conceived, because the element of complete surprise must have been present, but police spies got wind of the new plot and it was nipped in the bud, scores of fresh arrests being made in Vienna yesterday afternoon.

Briefly, the newly projected Nazi putsch had precisely the same objective, a swift descent upon the Chancellery, the arrest of the Cabinet, with Frince von Starhemberg as the main prisoner, and an- other desperate effort to secure control of the Government.
