speech with eleven dead relatives and
friends, he said his words must be

Huszar, Ex-Hungarian
Premier, Has Left U. S.
Believed Departure Was Due to
Official Hint His Presence
Was Undesirable

Charles Huszar, former Premier Of
Hungary during the reign Of the
"white terror" in that country, whose
presence in the United States had
aroused bitter opposition on the part
of Jews who accused Huszar Of re-
sponsiblity for the white terror
and of conducting a propaganda in this
country urging the restoration of the
Hapsburgs, sailed for Europe on the
acknowledgements liner Nieuw Amster-
dam Tuesday.
Huszar's departure, which apparent
lv was planned to be unobserved, was
regarded yesterday as an indication
that it was due to a hint from the au-
thorites at Washington that his pres
ence in this country was not desirable.
1t is also known that shipping work
ers of the Holland America Line had
planned to make trouble for him, and
possibly prevent his sailing, acting un-
der the general boycott enforced by or
ganized labor in Europe against Hun
gary and all Hungarian officials in
volyed in the "white terror" and the
Jewish massacres in that country.
1t was said that Huszar does not
plan return trip to the United States
in the near future.

Canadians Seeking
Cash for Cup Race
Cape Breton Club Ready
to Challenge as Soon
as Money Is Assured

SYDNEY, N. S., Aug. 1.-THE Royal
Cape Breton Yacht Squadron an
nounced to-day that it would challenge
for the Americas Cup as soon as satis-
factory arrangements can be COM
pleted to finance the project.
In announcing the decision of his
club to try for the trophy which Sir
Thomas Upton, The Irish yachtsman,
failed to lift on his fourth attempt
last month, Commodore Lucas made
the following statement:
eve realize that this club is not in
position to finance the undertaking
alone, but we are willing to take the
matter up with other clubs which may
not be able to challenge on their own
account. We do not want to commit
the club at the present time.
"As a matter of fact, as we are not
in a financial position to challenge for
the cup, we will have to have every
assurance that aid will be available
before we can go ahead. The chal-
lenge will certainly be issued if the
money is assured"
kilograms received by the Cape
Breton club from A. C. Ross, Montreal
yachting enthusiast, give assurance
that the necessary fund of million
dollars can be raised by popular sub
scription. In addition, Mr. Ross de-
clared, the project will have the back
ing of Canadian newspapers, while
certain trust companies have expressed
willingness to handle the subscription
list without charge to the fund.

Second District Service
Com m ission Rules
Against the Increase Until
Public Is Given q Hearing
Carriers Plans Unset
New Schedules i'm Freight
and Fares Put Off lndef-
initely for New Workers

Inc action OF the Public Service
Commission for the Second District
at Albany yesterday In announcing that
it would not permit the collection of
the increased freight and passenger
rates without first reviewing the merits
of the issues in public hearings has
temporarily upset the entire rate plans
of the railroad companies.
Heads of the traffic departments saw
that endless confusion is bound to re-
suit. The action of the Second District
commissions, they say, practically
nullifes for the time being the order
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
The time set for the new freight
rates to go into effect was August rs
The new passenger rates were to go
into cffect August 26. Railroad experts
say that unless the interstate rates
within the bound aries of New York
are permitted to 60 into effect on time
the through rates will be upset and
whole new rate structure will be
held up
A dispatch from Albany last night
said that series of public hearings on
the question of new rates has been
ordered and that the first of these
meetings will be held next Tuesday.
when only freight rates will be consid-
cred. Repres entatives of the railroads,
chambers Of commerce and cities Of
the entire state have been asked to
attend the meeting to be held in
Albany.
The railroads maintain that the
question Of the reasonableness and
necessity for the new rates was
], hoJ II
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission at Washington. Many weeks
will be consumed, they say, if the
shippers Of New York State and the
railroad companies are now required
to give testimony before the commits
sion at Albany.
John C. Barhite, Public Service Com
missioner, made this statement yester-
day concerning the commissions de-
cision to hold public hearings in the
matter of interstate traffic:
when the application of the roads
for permission to increase freight rates
was received yesterday the commits
sion decided it could not grant the APP
plication without first giving the pub
lie, who will have to pay the increase
a chance to be heard.
81 want to make it clear that we are
not attempting to block or~delay the
orders Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. There is no desire to set
up a double standard of rates, one for
interstate and another for interstate
traffic.
But the fact remains that the Pub
lie Service Commission has authority
over railroad fares within the state
We cannot automatically grant 40
per cent increase in freight rates with

in Autocrccy's Defeat

MOSCOW, Aug (By The Assoc;ted
Press (Delayed) Leon Trotzky, So
Wet War Minister, delivering an ad-
dress yesterday marking the closing
session of the Third International,
said the great war had made clear the
need of a new social status. The peo-
pies belief in the moral aims of the
fight against the Central Powers, he
added, had been shattered by the Yer
sailles peace. German imperialism
had been destroyed only to give place
to a new imperialism. President Viii
son came to Europe with his Fourteen
Points as a Messiah, only to discover
that the British feet dominated the
world, that the Baltic Sea, the English
Gulf" and the Baltic Straits were Brit
ish colonies
Poland, continued Trotzky, had be-
come French dependency and the
French policy was to exploit both Rus
STA and Germany. Unless France sue
ceeds, her position would be no better
than that of the conquered countries,
the War Minister declared.
The net result of the congress has

catcher, muffed.
Ruth refused to leave the game

WASHINGTON, Aug. II (By The As
ISOLATED Press) .-Poland, its back to
the wall in it's fight against Soviet Rus
STA, will ask immediate material aid of
the United States, it was announced
by Prince Lubomirski, the Polish Min
lister. More than that, it will seek to
develop precisely what the American
government meant by the announce
ment in it's note of yesterday to the
Italian government that it would en-
ploy sail available means" to main
tain free Poland.
Expressing complete satisfaction
with the American note, the minister
declared he was convinced that it
would inspire Poland with "a new
spirit Of hope" He added that his
country was sorely in need of war ma
teriels of all kinds, and that it prob
ably would first seek credits from the
United States with which to purchase
them.
simultaneously with the ministers
announcement the legation made public
proclamation, issued by the Polish
Council of National Defense, at War
saw, warning the nations that new
world war hangs over the world" and
that if Poland should be crushed by
the Bolsheviki it would be due to the
indifference of world which calls
itself democratic"
Copies of Note to Powers
Copies Of the American note to Italy,
it was said at the State Department to-
day, have been delivered to the repre-
sentatiyes Of the Allied and associated
governments and distributed to all the
news centers of the world, promising
its widest dissemination, even in Rus
STA itself. Diplomats generally re-
garded the document as having a three
fold purpose:
port to the Polish government and peo-
pie.
Second-An appeal to the masses in
Russia to throw off the Bolshevik yoke
and establish a constitutional govern
mcnt.
Third-The influencing of other ma
tons to refrain from recognition of
the Soviet regime.
The dispatch Of the note to Italy
followed a series of informal CONVEX
sations that had been in progress for
several weeks between officials Of the
state Department and the Italian EN-
bassy. Early in the course of the
between the Entent pow
ers preliminary to the Hythe confer

Slavi1l Better:
Soon to Tell
OF Lambs Row
Actor Found OH Sidewalk
With Fractured Skull.
After McCraw's Fight,
Is Recovering Slowly
Liquor Seized at Club
Clerk and Taxicab Driver
Arrested at 4 A. vi. With
the Machine Well Loaded

The condition of John C. Slavin, the
actor who was found with fracture of
the skull outside the home of John J.
McGraw, after he had helped escort that
battered but pugnacious baseball mag
nate home from the Lambs Sunday
morning, continued to improve yestcr-
day but small progress was made by
the authorities in their effort to discover
how he came by the injury.
DR.. II. M. Lyle. who has charge of Mr..
Slavin at ST. Luke's Hospital, said that
his patient might be considered virtually
out of danger and his recovery al
most certain. His mind may clear at
any time now sufficiently to warrant his
examination by detectives.
The alertness of patrolmen in the
neighborhood of the Lambs, whore
McGraw had made an ill-advised and
unsuccessful effort to knock out Will
liam H. Boyd just before his friends
got him into taxcab and headed
for home, was testified to by the ar
rest of club attache and a taxicab
chauffeur on charge of transporting
liquor illegally.
Liquor Found in Taxicab
Ernest Smith, a clerk at the club
and Charles Bertney are the prison
ers. According to a patrolman they
were busy carrying bundles from the
Lambs to Bcrtney's taxicab about 4
A. NJ, and when the patrolman inquired
into the transaction he discovered
three cases of whisky, seven cases Of
sherry wine, four cases of Staraganj
wine and several bottles of champagne
in the taxicab Both men were held
in $500 bail for hearing to-day be-
fore United States Commissioner
Hitchcock.
Such belated vigilance was of no as
sistance to Francis p Mario, the AS
sistant District Attorney, who is try

factured skull. He had Winfield Lig-
gett, the third member of the McGraW
party, in his Office yesterday interro-
eating him again, and noted a slight
change in his account of the events OF
Sunday morning.
Heretofore Mr.. Liggett has said that
there was no quarrel when the taXicat
drew up before McGraw's house and
that no fight took place there. Yester-
day he said that, strictly speaking, he
could not make so broad an assertion
as he had his back turned to the rest OF
the party and could not see what
went en-
He suggested that William Meegan
