SICK SOCIETY
SESSION ENDED
Police Break Up Meeting Of
Hungarian Society--2 Sets
of Officers

Police action was necessary at Co
lumbia Hall, on State street, yester-
day afternoon to break up meet
ing of the Holy Mary Hungarian
Roman Catholic Sick Benefit Society
that threatened for a time to de-
yelop into a .free-for-all fight. Mount
ed Officer Joseph Hartung was on
duty in the hall because the police
anticipated a disturbance and when
the gathering grew noisy he called
the police station and had four extra
men to assist him in clearing the
hall. No arrests were made.
Trouble threatened at the meet
ing when a quarrel of some months
standing came to a head. The So
ciety is divided into two factions.
one of which is dissatisfied with the
administration at present in power.
When the regularly elected officers
attempted to transact society busi-
ness yesterday, officers selected by
the opposing party at meeting

refused to allow the meeting to pro-

the meeting when efforts to restore
order failed completely.
Some time ago the insurgent elc-
ment in the society became dissatis-
fed with the prevailing set of Off
GERS who have been in power three
years. They called upon the officers
to resign and met with fiat refusal
whereupon the opposition elected a
set of officers of its own. Each fac
ton then ordered the Perth Amboy
Trust Company not to pay out any
of its funds on instructions of the
other.
A chancery suit resulted and final
ly ended on April II. when Attorney
David T. Wilentz. representing the
original officers. obtained writ of
restraint, preventing the insurgent
element from collecting dues. or
hindering the regular organization
in any way. Thomas A. Christopher
was counsel for the other side. Yes
terday. however. it is said that ths
opposition faction declared it cared
nothing for the chancery decision
anG in addition would not allow the
presiding officer to conduct the
meeting.
Mr.. Wilentz said this morning
that if it were learned that any of
the ten defendants named in the re-
straining injunction were involved IN
yesterdays near-fracas the proceed
ure would be to apply to the chan
cellor to adjudge them in contempt
of court. Affidavits would be drawn
up Immediately. he maintained.

New Efforts Made

GENOA. April "a (By the Asso-
ciated Press Once more today the
gyrating Genoa conference, which
has been alternating between fears
and hopes. and punetuated by polit-
ical crises, set itself back TO the
task of readjusting the economic life
of Europe.
The announcement by the Ger
man delegates last night that they
would not reply to the allies second
note because they did not wish to
endanger success of the conference
was received with relief by every
body.
In all quarters today were heard
words of praise for the Italian lead
ars who have made efforts for har-
mony.
Six sub-commissions We're schess
uled 10 hold meetings today and the
committee of experts on the Rus
sian question made plans to take
up the report on the reconstruction
of Russia. This report concerns not
only the handling of Russian debts
but is of importance to foreigners in
their dealings in Russia.
The Soviet delegation has over
thrown for the moment its famous
memorandum in answer to the eX-
perts. because il is in contradltion
to the latest note. Russian spokes-
men explained that the memoran-
dunn merely voiced the opinion Of
the Soviet delegates at the first stage
of the negotiations.
Everybody appears TO desire some
concrete results and then to return
home feeling that at least a hopeful
beginning has been made TO rebuild
economic conditions of Europe.
