KAROLW|S GAGGED
BY j. s, IS CLAIM
Paper Says Hungarian Ad-
mitted Without Right to
Defend His Past Record.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. February 1S.-The New
York World says today that Count
Michael karolyi, former President of
Hungary, who recently came here to
be with his sick wife, was allowed to
enter the country only on condition
that he pledge himself not to write
or speak for publication on any polit-
ical matters during his stay.
The restrictions, the World con-
tinues, were imposed at the instance
of Count LasZlo SZechenyi, husband
of the former Miss Gladys Vanderbilt
and now Hungarian Minister to
Washington.
Passport Vised After Pledge.
Count Karolyi's friends said that
American State Department officials
in London would not wise his pass
port until he made such a pledge.
according to the newspaper. These
friends attributed to the Admiral
Horthy government in Hungary the
action to keep Count Karolyi silent
The imposition of silence on the
former Hungarian President, the
World says, makes it impossible for
him to defend himself against at
tacks published by various Hun
garian newspapers in America
When the Countess Karolyi came
to this country, S. Stanwood Menken,
former head of the National Security
League, tried to have her deported as
"a Red Catherine of Bolshevism."
Soon after she arrived in this coun-
try she was stricken with typhoid
fever and Count karolyi came to
visit her.

PIANIST SCORES SUCCESS.
Phillip Gordon Gives Pleasing Pro-

Phillip Gordon, pianist possessing
fine tenchnique, presented a program
of remarkable variety at the Play

Perhaps the most charming number
he played was Ravel's "Jeux d'eau." +"
Howard's First Novel," Brahms ar
rangement of Gluck's "Gavotte," and
Dohnanyi's arrangement of DebiIes'

COUNT EXPLAINS VISIT.
Voluntarily Pledges to Make No
Speeches in United States.

State Department records in the case
of Count Michael Karolyi, first President
of Hungary, show that when questioned
by American consular officers in Lon
don regarding his visit to the United
States he volunteered a statement that
he would not enter upon a public speak
ing program or engage in public writing
on political subjects while in this coun-
try.
1t was explained by department Off
cialS that the treatment accorded the
count differed in no way from that fol-
lowed in all cases where foreigners ap-
ply to consular officers for visaes. So
far as the department has been in
formed. no special promise had been
exacted from the count, but officials
here did not deny that his promise con-
stituted a muZzle upon him. The count
assured the visaing officer that he de-
sired to go to the United States only to
be with his wife during her illness there.

Street Cars and Boulevards.

An agreement has been reached
whereby the street railway companies
will conform practically to the re-
quirernents of the traffic boulevard
system. The street cars will be halted
before passing over such arterial high
ways when traffic policemen are sta
toned there and signal them to stop
Otherwise they will cross the boule-
wards at these intersections without
stopping 1t Is clear that the street
railway traffic cannot be automatically
and invariably halted at these points
without q serious congestion on the
traction lines. 1t is also clear that
they cannot be permitted to run freely
across these arterial streets without
some regard for the flow of traffic
through them. Under the system now
planned in compromise the street cars
will be halted at those points where
traffic officers are stationed and will
be then signaled forward as quickly
as conditions permit, thus causing
minimum of delay on the car lines
and a minimum Of congestion at the
intersection. This would seem to be
sensible and practical solution OF
vexing problem. -..

The Cost of Private Motoring.

Very few automobile owners who
drive their own cars keep books"
They know what their machines cost
them to buy, and they have a rough
idea of the expense of running them.
But after perhaps a few weeks of cost
illeep they give up in despair. There
are sos many items to note, gasoline
oil, repairs, garage hire, new tires,
and possibly fines in the traffic court
that they find it too much of 4 job to
note them all, and thuu to enable them
to find out what their motoring costs
them by the day. or the month, or by
the mile. The engineers who have
been conducting q survey of District
conditions relative to street car merg-
er possibility have, however, done
some figuring for them, and they
come to the conclusion that the aver
age expense of maintaining a private
automobile Is $500 a year. which
works out to little less than 70
cents a mile. This figure will prob
ably be challenged by many motorists
as excessive, but without books they
cannot refute it.
The survey computations regarding
transportation cost are interesting.
They show that the average street
car rider pays 2.44 cents mile for
tokens and 2ao cents q mile IN oash

fares. The motor bus rider pays 3.66
basis. The cost of operating a private
motor carrying an average Of 1.95 pas
sengers each Is 5.S5 cents per pas
senger The taxfcab rider pays an
average of 1890 cents for each mile
that he is carried.
Considering that a large percentage
of those who ride to and from work
in private motor cars are pick ups"
or guest passengers. who pay nothing
at all, the computation regarding the
mileage cost for motor car transit as
stated by the survey Is somewhat mis-
leading. The fact Is that a great
many Washingtonians are transported
free. The private car owners pay the
cost. But that cost is not the greater
for them because they carry guests
in their machines If they ran their
machines on strictly individual basis
they would be paying out just as
much.
1t is evident that save for taXicab
rlulnS tne private motor transport IL
the most expensive Of all forms of
transit. The private car thus used.
moreover, takes up parking space. 1t
must be accommodated downtown
while the owner is at his tasks. II
is costly to the city in that 1t compels
the maintenance of an expensive po-
lice force for the regulation of traf-
fic. But the private car is here to
stay. 1t will not be supplanted by
any universal form of transport, the
street car or the bus, certainly not
by the taXicab at the present rate of
charges.
For the higher cost Of transit the
private car owner gains independence
from bus and street car schedules,
possibly gains time in transit. al
though as congestion increases this
gain is diminished. He has, more
over, the use of the car for pleasure
and for social service beyond the
range, Of street cars or busses. No
actuary will discourage individual
motor car ownership and operation.

On Second Thought.

1t would seem that Mayor Hylan's
newspaper friends spoke without au-
thority when they announced that
there would be third ticket in the
New York field, and that it might be
taken for granted that the mayor
would head it When all the figures
of the voting were recorded it was
plain that the mayor had been COM
pletely showed under in the primary
fight In the five boroughs he received
154,036 votes. as against 249,579 cast
for Walker, the latter's plurality being
95,543 A much more even split of
the approximately 100000 Democratic
votes would be necessary to justify
a third-ticket bolt. a candidate losing
by nearly 25 per cent of the total
party vote in a primary Is in no posi-.
ton to contest as a third-party leader.
He cannot expect to carry all of his
primary strength into the November
poll. If he carried two-thirds Of his
primary followers with him on bolt
he would be doing very well, indeed.
The total Republican strength in the
primary was about 1885, 900. If Hylan
could poll 100 900 boiling votes-which
would be extremely unlikely--and all
of the Republican votes. an impossible
ity, he would have 235, 900. or a $4,000
margin over the Walker primary
strength. This is stating the case in
the most favorable, terms that can be
conceived. ... ..-
Thus in its mathematical aspect the
case for third-party ticket in the
New York race would seem TO be hope
less. No wonder, therefore. that after
consultations yesterday the mayor,
after thanking those who had worked
for and supported him, indicated that
he would retire to private life, with
the solace of a clear conscience and
the satisfaction of a scrupulous dis
charge of duty. This left a third
party movement very much in the air,
although the proponents Of an inde-
pendent ticket, dying hard, began to
use the names of others, perhaps with
no more aulnOTlIy tildIl III tue case oI
the mayor.
But whether there is a third party
or not in the mayoralty fight in New
York, the bitterness engendered in the
primary campaign is to be rated as a
distinct liability for the governor,
whom the mayor styles the "big ham
and egg man from Albany"
