DONOHUE ID ENTER
 KAPLAN ARGUMENT
State Commissioner May Take
 Official Action on Title Bout

The crisis in the imtasse that has been reached between the New York boxing commission and the camp of Louis G<id) kaplan, featherWeight champion Of the world, will soon come to a head, it is thought, be- cause of the various happenings which are taking place today. In New York, the dual managerial part nership over the Meridcn hattlcr consisting of Scotty Montieth and Denny MCMahon. is scheduled to bo Closetcd with the noted triumvirato while in Hartford at the stato capi- tol, George Mulligan. Connocticut8 premier promoter of tistcuffS, will meet with State Commissioner Thomas Donohuc, both parties dis cusSing Inc same matter, namely: Shall Kaplan he forced 10 fight al the QucenshrTy Stadium in Long Island City by inc New York commission or will he be allowed 10 appear against Garcia where he will be able 10 get the most money, in Hartford Tho Connecticut commissioner who uses simple rd-headrd com mon sense in his dealings with pro- motors and fighters. has kept fully 1 in touch with the events which cir cle the present tangle and at today's meeting. it is expected that Mulligan will present facts to him to show that Connecticut shoull get tho bout sooner than New York or any other spot.
 The ordinary method of procedure
 for the Nutmeg boxing boss will then ho 10 present those facts and figures 10 the New York commission with the request that they consider
 if at their next meeting. If Com
 missioner Donohue decides to follow this course. there is no other route
 for tho Now York commission 10
 follow except 10 revoke its order to
 Kaplan and allow the boys to meet
 in Hartford.
 Tho entire question sinners down
 to 'ho question of just how much power iho Now York commission
 has and just how much power it
 thinks it has. Most everybody in
 tor"sInd in boxing is agreed that the
 New York body's ruling in some
 eases arc all 10 the good while oth- CTS are the results of very poor judgment.
 There is no doubt but what the
 commission is right in setting a time
 limit in which a champion must
 defend his title. The solons in the
 Empire state also have the right. it is thought. to choose the logical
 contender for a title, But, when that body or any other body at-
 tempts To dictate to fighter where l hc shall fight and for what club he shall fight, then 1t certainly steps hoy ond tho bounds and usurps pow I CTS which in themselves are nothing . more than Crandioso dreamt . fighter has tho age old right tha' any human has of working wher,
 hc ran got fhc most money. Rap Ian believes and the figures show : that he will get more in Hartford , than he ever could get in New York Garcia's managers agree with hin
 in this respect and it Is general, conceded in all hoinC circles that th, bout would pay both fighters man,
 moro thousands here than in NeV | York.
 = Tho entrance oF Cop,p,issione T Donohuc into tho present iangl puts different aspect on the case l Heretofore inc New York commits | sion was dealing with fighters. man l agers and promoters. but now 1t Q dealing with the state of Connect Q cut. There isn't any doubt but wha a tho tangle will he straightencd ou e within n very short time.
