XV Vienna, on 29 February 1934. X11 Buer Exsellenz! Today, 29 February 1924,11h 30 min. a.m., we received an attribution from 38 February 1934 (to post given on 28 February 1924 , 8a evening. ) written by His Excellency Field Marshal Fraiherrn von Krobatin and by Mr. Rechtsanwalt Dr. Josef Freyenfeld, with which it was communicated that Euser Excellency appointed these two gentlemen as their representatives in the matter of honour with Count Polzer Hoditz instead of the bile secondary. We declare that the representatives of His Excellency, Count Polzer Hoditz, are not in a position to depart from the positions which we laid down in our single protocol of 28 February 1924, 6 h p.m. The reclamation of the Committee for Honorary Affairs of the Jockey Club was a private matter of Your Excellency, which you should obtain within the time limit fixed in the Ristow Code of Honour. However, she was able to influence the battle of honour with His Excellency Count Polzer Hoditz all the less, since he is not a member of the club mentioned above and the two-sided secun- dants at their first meeting on 31,Fabruar 1924 explicitly referred to the provisions of the Code of Honour Rietow and not to the rules of honour customary in the Jockey club. The deadline for the assignment of the mandates of the opposing secondary students and for the appointment of new secondary students was 25.3%.
