MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, December
6.-Two hundred statesmen waited one
hour and a half for state banquet las,
night while communists held the
Uruguayan chief of protocol captive
apparently as practical joke.
That was the explanation offered by
acquaintances Of the diplomat, although
1t was oficially explained today that the
chief Of protocol had been delayed BY
illness.
The dinner was rendered to Secretary
Of State Hull, the nine other foreign
ministers present, and all the other rep
resenta.ives Of the American republics
by DIR. Gabriel Terra, President ol
Uruguay.
Diplomats Wait in Cerrider.
Carlos Yereguy. Uruguayan chief oi
protocol. prepared the seating arrange
ments and started for the banquet hall
with the place cards in his pocket. On
the way, his automobile was stopped by
communists and who held him prisoner
in his own car
Meanwhile, the diplomats stood about
in the vast marble corridor of the
legislative palace while their dinner
cooled No one but the chief of pro-
tocol dared take the responsibility Of
seating the guests according to their
proper precedence.
Finally Yereguy was released and
reached the waiting guests. The ban
quet proceeded with no further Incl
dent. The police are hunting for the
culprits.
War in the Gran Chaco between
Bolivia and Paraguay faded definitely
from the realm Of open discussion in

participate in the election at all, as
citizens secured q court injunction
against the balloting and then pro-
ceeded to enforce the injunction by
force of arms. Elsewhere, the voting
was sporadic with many precincts not
opened due in some instances to refusal
OF appointed officials to serve and in
others to the announced stand of local
authorities against paying any OF the
election expense.
5000 Votes Reported.
Tabulators from the approximately
las open precincts in the nine parishes
which participated in the election, today
had reported about 5000 votes for the
Long candidate although the area has

set up the machinery for the holding
of "a citizens popular election" on De-

Mrs. Kemp was nominated by Long

Nat Tycer. bitter enemy of the po-

which he termed illegal, by swearing in
more than a thousand deputies and
