AUTOISTS SPOIL HUNT OF BRITISH SPORTSMEN Viscount Lascelles Heads Meet That Suffers From Huge Crowds of Onlookers. ssociated Press. LONDON, December 27.—Huntsmen declared that automobilists threaten to spoil the sport in their anxiety to see as much of the chase as possible. Yesterday, when Viscount Lascelles, o is master of the Bramham Moor Hounds, headed the meet at Wether- by, near his Yorkshire home, there were motor cars by the hundreds on hand, and followers on foot by the thousand. There was considerable disappointment on the part of the crowd of spectators at the absence of Princess Mary. It was not so many years since mo- tor carswere forbidden even on race courses, but most juntsmen are com- ing to realize that the motor cars must be accepted as inevitable. One suggestion is made that masters of hounds should give motorists indica- tions of what part of the country is going to be drawn, so that the cars can be conveniently marshaled at dif- ferent points of vantage.

The Goodyear Co.’s assistant secre- tary, C. E. Stone, was handed copies of the summonses and complaints at his office here, and it was claimed that the concern does business only in Ohio, where its factory is. Justice Lewls points out, however, that the company is virtually con- ducted from this city, as E. G. W mer, chairman of the board of direc- tors, has an office here, the Goodyear Co. has several departments of its business here and its board meetings are held here. The concerns suing are the Calvert Mills, Taunton Manufacturing Co., Eatonton Cotton Mllls.
