Hungary Is Concerned
Over Rumania's Minority

| By the Associated Press.
BUDAPEST, Sept. 15.-Specula-
tlon on Hungary's territorial claims
on Rumania was intensified last
night with a statement by Foreign
Minister Count Csaky, who declared
the situation of the Hungarian mi
nority in Rumania was considered
serious"
Count Csaky told the Parliament
tary Foreign Affairs Committee that
Hungary considers a declaration of
neutrality in the present European
conflict needless since ANY dec
laration of that sort only could COM
plicate our nations life in case of a
long-term war"
His remarks followed those yester-
day of Count Paul Teleki, Hungary's
Prime Minister, who declared his
nation could not enter into "adven-
lures in her present difficult geo.
graphic position"
Count Csaky told the Foreign
Affairs Committee that "the answer
Is still delayed from Rumania re-
garding Hungarys proposals" for a
pact giving Hungarian minorities
greater rights.
Behind the moral forces and un-
shakable determined will of our
leading statesmen is the Hungarian
Army, daily increasing both by
weapons and in determination to
protect the soil of working Hun
garian people," the count said.

$1,000 Employees Vote
To Settle G. |. O.-A. F. l.
Jurisdiction Dispute
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT. Sept. 15.-The Ma
tional Labor Relations Board elec-
ton among the 1000 employees OF
Briggs Manufacturing Co., biggest
poll ever conducted by the N. L.
r" B. to determine a collective bar
gaining agent, was completed yes
terday without friction or delay.
The ballots will be counted this
afternoon.
After inspecting the 36 voting
booths at six plants here, Frank H
Bowen, regional director of the
N. L. r. B., said, Everything is
going smoothly" He added:
There has been no friction at
all and very few challenges. The
company has shown magnificent
cooperation in preparations for the
election and in its operation"
The question was whether the
employees shall be represented by
the c. I. o. United Auto Workers,
the A. F. L. United Auto Workers
or neither.
Homer Martin, president of the
U. A. WA. F. L., attempted to
withdraw that union from the bal
lot, but Mr.. Bowen ruled the request
"came too late" Mr. Martin
charged that "the regional Labor
Board of Detroit has become an
agent of the c. I. o. and has acted
in such a manner as to invalidate

Act ITSELF"
Mr.. Bowen said he had no COM
ment on Mr.. Martins charges, but
would let his four-year record with
the Labor Board speak for itself.
U. A. VIC. I. O. officials said the
election was ''in the bag" and
charged that Mr.. Martins last

Today is Clark Griffith day at the

ington. When the final game of
the year against the Browns was
to be played this afternoon at Grif-
fifth Stadium the shortstop was to be
Hal Quick and the second baseman
was to be Eddie Leip, both Cambria
discoveries.
And, s'help me-" quoth Mr..
Cambria, basking in his string pull
ing triumph, those kids ought to
show these people something. In
the Sally League they positively were
terrific. They're good, real good"
No Uniform for Leip.
Leip, you know is Washington's
second baseman No. 6. He reported
yesterday, too late to play as the
Browns won a 9to-5 victory over
Joe Kraukauskas & Co., but today
he was to start alongside his old
buddy, Quick. Uncle Griffith is
beating industriously on his TOM
toms and exploiting the pair but, of
course, they won't be around next
year. The 1910 shortstop already
seems to be Jimmy Pofahl of Mime
apolis. And your guess is as good as
anybody elses as to the second base
man. In any event he either will be
Jimmy Bloodworth or Morris Ader-
holt, in that order.
Until he was nominated to play
today Leip had a hard time getting
a uniform. 1t seems that Grif gave
orders to the clubhouse crew to pre-
pare II new uniforms for incoming
recruits. When II showed there was
much confusion. Maestro frankie
Baxter, the soft-spoken confidant of
hundreds of ballplayers, threw up
his hands IN horror and announced
that five could go uniform-less, for
