Dr. Grayson told friends last night that the president beat him at golf last Wednesday, a thing he does not usually do.
 If you want to know about his nerves said Dr. Grayson in reply to several inquiries on how the president stood the strain of the election, T can give you something to judge by. played golf with the president Wednesday with the news favoring Hughes and every body excited. He played the best game I ever saw him play. I usu- ally beat him but he beat me on Wednesday His putting, the real test of golf nerves. was as good or better than usual.

HUNGARIAN SAYS
 WILSON NOT FAIR
Count Apponyi Declares President Has Departed From the Way of Strict Neutrality With Austria
 Hungary-"25 Years Peace"

Berlin, via London, Nov i5.-The opening of peace negotiations may, perhaps, be expected with fair pros poets of success in the course of the coming winter, according to Count Albert Apponyi, veteran Hungarian leader and former Hungarian pre- mier. Count Apponyi, who is visit ing Germany to deliver two address es on Hungarian history, expressed his views in an interview given to a correspondent of the Associated Press, in which he discussed the general European situation.
 We cannot expect" he said. to see peace negotiations opened with in the next few weeks, while the Ru- manian campaign is still undecided However, l regard our chances for success there as excellent and once Rumania is crushed, I think both sides will be willing to consider the question of peace. Rumania was the entente's last card, and is prov ing a losing one We are massing a big army against the Rumanians, and think that the end will come shortly.
 The entry of Rumania into the war has, in many respects, been ad- yantageous to us"
 To illustrate what he regards as the improving chances for peace ne- gotiations, Count Apponyi referred to recent speeches of statesmen in the opposing camps.
 Not Lloyd George. of course" he injected parenthetically, but such as Lord Grey and Chancellor von Bethmann- Holweg, for example"
 He suggested a comparison be- tween the utterances of the leaders a year ago and at present.
 Says Leaders Are Nearer.
 "A year ago." he said their re- spective standpoints were as far apart as the poles, but now, althC there are still differences between them, they have most apparently drawn nearer. The references to crushing Germany have been elim- mated from the British pronounce ments and the agitation for annexa- ton is dwindling in Germany"
 Chancellor von -Hol- veg, he said, has pointed out in his latest speech that he has never demanded the annexation of Bel glum. Such instances as these show in my opinion, that there are now no really insuperable obstacles to the opening of d discussion of future peace. Of course, the kingdom of Poland must stand, but believe Russia can be brought to reconcile herself to this situation"
 Count Apponyi was asked if he thought the impulse to start peace discussions could come from within the camps of the warning powers or whether an impetus in the form Of a tender of good offices from a neutral parsonage or power would De necessary. He replied that he saw no reason why neutral media tlon should not be welcomed when the opportune moment to which he mad referred should arrive, and add ca that he knew no reason why
