The הפטרה of Shabbos Erev Rosh Chodesh Elul

שו''ע אור''ח  תכ''ה ראש חדש שחל להיות באחד בשבת מפטירין בשבת שלפניו "ויאמר לו יהונתן מחר חדש" (ואין דוחין עניה סוערה ולא שמעו משום מחר חדש) (מנהגים)

What happens when Rosh Chodesh Elul falls out on Shabbos or Sunday, as it does this year do you read the haftorah of מחר חודש or do you stay with the shiva denechemta and read the hafotrah of עני' סוערה there is a discussion among the poskim if you can push off the haftorah of the shiva denechemta or it should remain consecutive haftoras.  and not be broken up or skipped.

 When Rosh chodesh actually falls out on shabbos there is a machlokes as the mechaber says the ikar halachah follows the Avudraham he rules that on Shabbos Rosh Chodesh Elul, only that week’s haftarah of ‘Aniyah So’arah’ is read. This would also hold true for this  shabbos when Rosh Chodesh is on Sunday, that only that week’s haftarah of  עני' סוערה is read, and not ‘Machar Chodesh. 

The Rama brings from the sefer Haminhagim  argues that since the special  haftorah  of Shabbos Rosh Chodesh השמים כסאי also contains words of nechama  it is therefore the proper reading, even for Shabbos Rosh Chodesh Elul. Nevertheless, if Rosh Chodesh would fall out on Sunday, all  agree that only that week’s haftarah of עני' סוערה would be read.
conclusion most ashkenaz and sefard shuls read the haftorah of עני' סוערה this shabbos.

There is a minhag Frankfurt am Main  "Frankfurt on the Main" to read the haftorah of Machar chodesh on this shabbos
