HUNGARY TO SEND
CzECHS NEW NOTE
Message on Territorial
Claims Expected to
Be Severe.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOclAted Press.
BUDAPEST, Oct. 27.-The Hun
garian cabinet decided today to send
a new note to Czechoslovakia on
Hungary's territorial claims, and OBJ
servers predicted the message would
be severe in its terms.
It was believed that the cabinet,
which met to consider Prague's ac-
ceptance Of the Hungarian plan to
let Germany and Italy arbitrate their
territorial dispute, would demand oc-
cupation of undisputed areas in slo-
vakia at once. Such occupation would
be by easy stages.
Authoritative sources had said the
ministers would act quickly to in
duce the Na1-Fascist powers to press
Csechoslovakia to withdraw her troops
and permit Hungarian soldiers to
enter the areas In question.
Regarded Is Necessary.
Ohcial circles regarded this as abso-
lutely necessary because Hungary is
afraid the Czechs may take with them
too much material which, Hungarians
maintain. Hungarian minorities paid
for and should therefore remain in
the relinquished districts.
Czechoslovak acceptance of the
principle Of arbitration was made
known last night in a reply to Hun
garian proposals OF Monday. The
answer was considered as showing
some progress which might form the
basis for further peaceful negotiations,
but secondary differences remained.
Among the outstanding points, q
foreign office spokesman said, were
Czechoslovak insistence that Hun
garian occupation of purely Magyar
regions await German and Italian de-
cisions on procedure; plebiscites In
eight disputed districts; Hungarian de-
mands for plebiscites In newly -auton-
omous Ruthenia and Slovakia to de-
termine the peoples desires to Join
Hungary.
Failed to Fulfin Request.
The Csechoslovak answer failed to
fulflll the Hungarian request for the
Ruthenian-Slovak plebiscites and de-
manded that Rumania be an arbi-
traitor If Poland were so named.
The neighboring republics note was
generally q disappointment to Hun
garians.
The Budapest government was said
to feel 1t should start occupation Of
the predominantly Hungarian areas
at once to relieve internal political
tension caused by previous delays in
settling the dispute.
Hungarian troops were ready to
start an advance and the government
hoped to keep up their spirit by giving
orders soon for occupation.
Czechs Await Budapest Word.
PRAGUE, Oct. ~ [R.-Capitulating
Czechoslovakia, facing new losses Of

word from Budapest today on the next
step In the arbitration of minority
claims in Slovakia and Ruthenia.
The controlled Prague press care
fully refrained from publishing any
reaction on the Czech answer last
night accepting Hungary's proposal to
allow Germany and italy to referee
future negotiations.

 An hour later they came upon the Gray Gull and spoke to her. On the Gull's deck her 60 seamen crowded the forecastle head to hear Captain Banks!" Jerry sang out. "Our compliments, sir! Jerry Whitfield commanding the prize brig May Queen 90 days out of Canton, formerly bound for Bristoll"
 Cabell Banks had trouble con- trolling his voice. Well, you fool!" he shouted you've done it! Any dead or wounded?"
 None. Will you come aboard?"
 Aye, aye, sir! At oncep an- swered Cabell, remembering to be nautical.
 An interval passed. A boat was lowered away from the Gray Gull. Another interval, and Caben Banks came over the side of the May Queen followed by a dozen men.
 I've brought you some hands, Captain Whitfield. They're will ing. You'll need them to handle your prisoners. If you need more, ask for them" He spoke gruffly, for the occasion was charged with emotion.
 Jerry grasped the long thin hand of the elegant young man from Boston. Thank you," he said. Thank you for all of it."

 Americans have devilish good luck" spoke up the officer who wore the insignia of third lieu tenant. "Ill not be surprised ii they pull 1t off,"
 Had Cabell Banks been there he would have made some witty re- joinder. Jerry had a sudden realiz- ation that the occasion warranted 1t, that a small but vital bit of history was being enacted here without benefit of repartee or quip from the one who had accomplished it. But he was an inarticulate man, and when he had sent his sailors out and had started to back out him. self, his pistol before him, he could think of no more suitable exit than to repeat earnestly, My men and l bid you good night, SirS." His sailors were amused. Especially one young giant of Irish ancestry who .guffawed aloud in spite of himself.
 Jerry Whitfield was now in command of the ship which he presently discovered to be a 12- gun merchant brig named the May Queen, 90 days out of Can ton. One of the sailors had brought the log book from the cabin; these interesting facts and others were clearly set forth in it. Her hold was filled with Chinese tea and silk, and there was good deal of carved ivory listed, and furniture of lockwood; several pages of log were devoted to a list ing of Chinese porcelain vases at unbelievable appraisement.
 Its enough to knock yer eye out!" said the Irish giant, reading over Jerry's shoulder.
