IS CLAIM Paper Says Hungarian Ad- mitted Without Right to Defend His Past Record. ated Press NEW YORK. February York World says today Michael Karolyi, former 18.—The New that Count President of came here to be with his sick wife, was allowed to enter the country only “on condition that he pledge himself not to wri or speak for publication on any polit- ical matters during his stay. The restrictions, the World con- tinues, were imposed at the instance of Count Laszlo Szechenyl, husband of the former Miss Gladys Vanderbilt and now Hungarian Minister to Washington, Passport Vised After Pledge. Count Karolyi's friends said that American State Department officials in London would not vise his pa port until he made such a pledge, according to the newspaper. These friends attributed to the Admiral Horthy government in Hungary the action to keep Count Karolyi silent The imposition of silence on the former Hungarian President, the World says, makes it impossible for him to defend himself against at- tacks published by various Hun- garian newspapers in America. When the Countess Karolyi came to this country, S. Stanwood Menken, former head of the National Security League, tried to have her deported as “a Red herine of Bolshevism.” Soon after she arrived in this coun- try she was stricken with typhoid fever and Count Karolyi came to visit her.

So far as the department has been in- formed, no special promise had been exacted from the count, but officlals here did not deny that his promise con- stituted a muzzle upon him. The count assured the visaing officer that he de- sired to go to the United States only to be with his wife during her illness there. Citizenship Revocation Asked.
