Claim That Berty, Captain of Hun garian Fencers Is Professional Is
 Not Substantiated.

By The Associated Press
 Paris. June S0.--A protest filed by the Argentine Olympic fencing team against NJ. Berty, captain of the Hungarian team, charging him with professionalism, was disallowed by the Olympic authorities today.
 u was ruled that the Argentines, who were defeated by a margin of one touch by the Hungarians, were def nitely out of the tournament and that the fHungarians should continue.
 More trouble in connection with the Olympic fencing competition came when the Italians, virtually assured of second place, abandoned the fols team event in protest against alleged unfair decisions during their match with France.
 The decision to abandon the cvent came when Gaudin was awarded the final winning touch in his match against Boni. The Italians contested the award of the point and then marched off the floor singing their national anthem. They were auto matically disqualified from all further fencing competition in the Olympics.
 The entire Hungarian fencing team later appeared before jury of the French Olympic committee and took the solemn Olympic oath that they were bona fide amateurs.
 Belgium today defeated Hungars, nine matches to seven,
