KAROL VI IS NOT
TRYING TOFREE
HUNGARIAN RACE
Announcement That Such Is
Mission Abaurd Declares
Emil G ennanus.

The Ffnnearians q ere are in state
o. excitement todqy over the pub
lished report that Count Michael
Karolyi, the great 1t ungarian states
man. to whom re. 'eption win be
given at Kruegers auditorium to-
morrow night. is on mission looking
stoward the freeing of Hungary from
its connection with AlA stria.
THE announcement 9shat such is
Count Karolyi's mission is absurd.
said Emil Germauus, one of the lead
ers of the 5000 Hnngaralns residing
in this city. HE has come to this
country to raise money in cam
paign to bring about equal suffrage
for all men in Hungary. This has
nothing to do with the Hu'man suf-
frage question, and, of cour sc, is al
together foreign from any, idea of
revolt against the existing govern
ment. Hungarians are entirely salts
ned wita their present ruAr. EN-
peror Francis Joseph. / am sur
prised that Stephen Uglay, who is
the chairman of the committee which
will receive Count Karolyi, should
have made the statement that that
distinguished visitor is here to STIR up
a revolution"
Mr. Uglay's statement in regard TO
the revolution was published in the
Morning Star. 1t stirred up the Hum
garian colony here as scarcely amy
other news could have done, aud
phones were kept busy all through
the forenoon with inquiries concern-
Ing the correctness of the statement
A committee of four will go to Pas
sale at ) D. m. tomorrow with auto /
mobiles to meet Count Karolyi, and /
( five other prominent members of the !
Hungarian Parliament, who are traV- |
cling with him. At Krueger's Audito- |
rum the party will be received by /
MIR UgIay, who also will open the |
! meeting. The committee of four just t
mentioned are Henry Altai, Rev. DR.. /
John Dizovics. professor at the /
Bloomfield Presbyterian Seminary |
aud editor of the Newark Hungarian |
Herald: Joseph Won Burckhardt city !
) editor of the NepszaVa, Hungarian 1
daily in New York, and of the Pas |.
saic Szabad Sajto Gree Press, and
Mr.. Germanus. /
Explaining the movement which I
Count Karolyi heads, Mr.. Germanus /
said; In Hungary none can vote
unless they have certain property |
qualifications or have an income ex-
ceeding certain amount. Just what \
this amount is l do not recall, but, at
any rate, it is so high that no me-
chanic or laborer is qualified to cast I
a vote. In order to throw dust into ,
the eyes of the toilers, the govern
ment has launched a party, TO which |
il has given the name 'Workingman's
party AS a matter of fact, that party |
stands for everything that is against !
the interests of the workingman. |
Count Karolyi. whose possessions are
estimated to exceed $S0,00O,OO0, is /
heart and soul enlisted in the cause |
Of the workingmen.
wherever the count has spoken in |
this country Hungarians have con- I
tributed generously. In New York, |
at a thirty minute meeting on July A. |
a hat was passed around and $l,SOO
was collected. The next day at
Bridgeport 81, 500 was collected in the /
same way. AT Yonkers, where there |
are only 400 Hungarians, each man /
put a dollar into the hat, and yester- i
day at South Bethlehem $1,54o was I
netted.
This money is presented to the |
count as a personal gift to him. The /
reason for this is in order to defeat I
the Hungarian law which directs that |
any money collected outside OF the
country and brought there for cleo |
ton purposes shall be forfeited to |
the government
At the reception Mr.. Altai win !
speak in English. The main speech |
will be made in Hungarian by Rev. |
Sasvari, the pastor of the Hungarian
Catholic Church here. Other speak |
ers viii be Rev. DIR. Dikovics. John |
Fekete, in behalf of the workingmen. |
a certified check for $500 will be
handed to Count Karolyi, by Mr.. Ger
manus. The count, too, and his coll
leagues viii speak.
After the reception there will be an
al-fresco dinner at Kemper's Park,
Fourteenth street and Madison ave-
nue..
II is expected that, in addition to
the $500 check which has resulted
from a hasty call for funds, much
larger sum will be collected from
those at the reception tonight.
