His attempts at reform were defeated by Tisza's conservative forces, and he quickly resigned, to be replaced by the weak administration of Sándor Wekerle. After the war he devoted himself to the management of his large estate. For the Christian Economic Party, he became a member of the Hungarian Parliament again in 1931 and a representative of his party in the important Economic Committee.
