...Habsburgs are at it again. Remembering the family motto that a man may be down but never out as long as there is anything marriageable in sight the Archduke Albrecht has been paying court to the Italian Princess Giovanni and seems to be at least a Habsburg chin ahead of his Hohenzollern and Wittelbach competitors. That the family fortunes fully warrant this recourse to the final remedy is illustrated by the spectacles of the Empress of Mexico dying in Belgium and of the Empress of Austria living in Madiera...
...Archduke Albrecht. The newspaper Magyarsag at Bucharest pointed out exhaustively last week the degree of probability of the following possibilities: 1) Since Hungary is a "kingless-kingdom," the Hungarian Regent, Admiral Nicholas Horthy, might be directed by Parliament to transfer the Crown to the Archduke Albrecht of Habsburg who has a large Monarchist following. 2) This supposititious "King Albrecht of Hungary" might contract a marriage with Princess Ileana of Rumania. 3) Since the Hohenzollern dynasty which now rules over Rumania was elected to that eminence only 60 years ago, it is conceivable that the Rumanian Parliament might transfer the Rumanian...

Added significance was given to the Albrechtist rumors last week when the Regent of Hungary, Admiral Nicholas Horthy, dissolved the Hungarian Parliament immediately after it had passed a bill recreating the Hungarian House of Peers. When the new House of Peers assembles, the four Archdukes, Friedrich, Albrecht (his son), Josef and Franz (his son) will find themselves at its head in semi-royal state. The Archdukes, as the ranking peers of Hungary, will head a House composed of nobles; of Catholic, Protestant and Jewish prelates; of high dignitaries of state and rich bourgeoisie...
...decree (1921) affirming its right to elect anyone king, and denying the exclusive right of Otto to the succession. -The complicated Habsburg relationships are best disentangled with relation to the Emperor Leopold II (1747-1792). Franz Josef was his great grandson. Karl was his great-great-great-grandson. And Albrecht is his great-great-grandson. All these through slightly different lines...
