BERLIN, Nov. ' 10. It Is rumored
from Munich that General Ludemlorff
committed suicide immediately upon
boing paroled after his arrest in con
nection with the abortive putsch in
Munich. .
There is no verification of the ru
mor from any source but Ludendorff's
friends here say they are prepared for
such a sequel to his failure and that
the action would be wholly In conform
ily with tthe military code of honor as
understood by the general.
' The question of Adolph Hitler's
whereabouts also still remains to bo
clearod up. Somo reports have it that
he is heading for tho Austrian fron
tier. Those familiar, with the Bavar
ian dictator, Von Kahr, say they be-
liove he would make short shrift of the
fasciBti leader If he was captured.

placo during the night after he had
given Dr. Voa Kahr, tiro1 Bavarian dl"
tutor, his word of honor that he would

force, Dr. Von Kahr proclaimed the es-
tabliBljnient of military courts and ad
vanced the curfow hour to 8 p. m., also
prohibiting the opening of places of
amusement- ,
' Putsch Is Condemned
The local press , regardless of Its
party aff II rations, brands the "putsch"
as a crime against Bavaria and the
German people and expresses amaze
ment that an army chief of Lunden
dorfrs caliber should have permitted
himself to be drawn Into Hitler's fas
tlstic plot. 1
Financal embarrassments are believ
ed to have accelerated tho outbreak,
as Hitler's organization was without
funds and had hoped that tho coup
d'etat would Immediately result In Its
reimbursement.
Commander Khrhardt, who has a
nondescript force in northern Bava
riu also had tried to obtain funds In
forming IHtler that his brigade was
entirely without money.

Hitler, who was reported to have es
caped Bavarian authorities, to have
sought refuge' north of Munich with
his nationalist followers. .
