HUNGARY LOOKS TO U. S
FOR PEACE MOVE

London, September 23.-Buda-
pest papers received in London
contain the following report of a
statement made by Count Albert
Apponyi in the Hungarian Par
lament:
ct is one OF the failures of the
Foreign Minister that he did not
appoint an Ambassador in place
of the discharged Austro-Hunga-
rian Ambassador at Washington.
We are all living in hope that
when the time arrives for a neu-
trail power to offer her services it
will be the great republic across
the Atlantic, as most fit for a
work of such magnitude.
1--WE all hope the United States
Administration will take the af-
fairs in hand sooner or later,
when they deem it proper to do
SO, and we find ourselves not
even represented automatically
in a proper manenr.
i know that certain steps or
hints were offered on the part Of
the U. S. to the. effect that the
position of Ambassador should
be filled by the monarchy. In
spite of these we have not moved,
although the interests of the mon
archy demand that we should
have a reliable representatives
there"
In Hungarian political circles
it is rumored that should Count
Apponyi himself be asked to ac-
cept the mission as Ambassador
to Washington, he would not re-
fuse to do so.

CONSTITUTION SAYS
CONVENTION WILL IN
D0RSE MR.. WILSON

Atlanta, Ga, September Is
That Albert Howell, IT,, in spite
Of his adroitness and skill, in
spite Of his experience as a veter-
an in politics, will NOT be able to
frame resolutions indorsing Mr..
Wilson in terms satisfactory to
the Democrats Of Georgia and at
the same time satisfactory to T..
+. Watson, is the prevailing be-
lief in Atlanta, and the general
expectation is that the Macon
convention will so on record with
an Endorsement of the President
and OF the Democratic congress
in language that cannot be mis-
construed.
1t is believed that Albert How
ell, Jr., the law partner and po-
lltlcal adviser of Hugh NJ. Dor
sey, will counsel the governor
elect to ignore the peremptory
demand contained in the latest is
, sue Of Watson's "Jeffersonian"
and insist upon a clean-cut in
dorsement of the party's presi-
dental candidate and the party's
record in the administration of
national affairs. n
The Atlanta Constitution, of
which Albert Howell, Jr., is pres
ident, declares i'll a leading editor
The Macon convention is 90
ing to indorse Wilson, of course
1t couldn't do anything else"
The editor of The Constitution
is brother of Albert Howell,
Jr., and is Democratic national
committeeman from Georgia. The
Constitution supported Hugh M.
j Dorsey for governor with great
enthusiasm, and the Constitution
hltteranees Oh, the, subject have
been construed as. the final word,
SO far as Mr.. Dorsey and Albert
Howell. Jr., are concerned.
All of which gives rise to the
question:
What will Watson do?
Will he break with Dorsey,
whom he supported with all the
power of his pen?
Or will he submit to open de-
fancc of his orders, and silently
swallow the conventions repudi-
alton of his dictates.
