  Not a definitive answer, but going through google nGram viewer produces a publication showing the actual game in [British Chess Magazine](https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_British_Chess_Magazine/Y6FJAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22h%C3%BCbsch%22%20gambit&pg=PA146&printsec=frontcover), 1923. There the notation is E. Hubsch, and the annotation states that it is abridged from *Kagan's Neueste Schachnachrichten*.
  
  I could not find online versions of the Kagan volume(s), however there are several volumes of that available through various antique resellers. There appears to be at least one collection partially available online [through google books](https://books.google.com/books?id=kd43AQAAIAAJ&pg=PA168&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=3#v=onepage&q&f=false), but I am not conversant in German to be able to know if this is relevant or not. Archive.org may also have some resources in their scan collection.
