In Irregularities.

PARIS, Dec. 23.-Charges of lrregu-
larities in the Vanderbilt Cup race.
made at a meeting Of the delegates of
the worlds automobile clubs last Tues
day, have produced an animated contro-
versy
Count Sierstorpff, representing the
German Automobile Club. said that Ger
many had entered five machines for the
contest and the German club was anx-
ious to have a representative on the
Vanderbilt Cup Commission to look
after the German interests.
He wrote to the American club on
the matter, but the only reply he re-
ceived was list Of members and the
intimation this is the committee"
The count wrote again, giving his rea-
sons for desiring German representa-
ton. but he received no answer.
Didn't Consult Germans.
He also wished TO remark that the
committee refused two Of the machines
entered by Germany and nominated
two other German machines without
consulting the German club in the mat
ter.
In reply. Howard Johnstone and w
5. Hogan, as representing the Ameri-
can club, said that they had heard
nothing about the matter. but promised
to bring il before the governors Of the
American club at once.
Baron de Zuylen then set the whole
committee laughing by remarking that
though France had won the Vande, bill
Cup twice. the French club never haC
been able to get hold of the trophy,
though repeated demands had beer
made. He thought this rather hard or
the French club.
Charge Irregularities.
De Knyfr said that he had reason tc
believe that some very irregular pro.
ceedings had taken place in connection
with the Vanderbilt Cup race itself He
had heard that the weighing-in went OF
until midnight, when all the official,
had gone away. and that the third ma
| chine 10 be placed In the race wa,
using a Krebs carburetor, which, OF
course, was OF French construction
JOhnstone and Hogan simply replied
that they were unaware Of the facti
and that they would at once report the
matter to the American club.
