NEW YORK, March 5.—The first public appearance of Count Michael Karolyl of Hungary, since the State Department in Washington placed *r strictions” upon his activities in Ame; ica, was marked here last night by slight disturbance, when Louis Basky, editor of a foreign language publica- tion, attempted to address a dinner at the House of Labor Restaurant. The editor's followers greeted him with shouts of “Soviet!"” ‘‘Soviet!" when he attempted to mount & table after the count had addressed the gathering of American-Hungarians. He was re- strpined, . however, and order Wwas quickly restored. Count Karolyl, Hungary's first President and now an exile from his native land, was introduced by Dr. Samuel Buchler, deputy State attorney general, who said: “We are faced with an absolutely reactionary Government in Washington, whose spokesman, Charles Evans Hughes, has seen fit, at whose solicitation we well know, to muzzle Count Karolyi. It is a disgrace. Perhaps his going out of the cabinet today is & blessing.'" ble to Talk. The count delivered a carefully pre- pared address, declaring at the outset that what he was about to say would in ne way “hurt my word of honor.” He If Cliff Edwards could see the wonder- ful assortment of Sheldon Blue Serge Suits that have just come in for Spring (only $37.50), there would be a new jazs record for your music box. “Nowlisten,folks,to my good news—those tantalizing, aw e -in- spiring Sheldon Blues”—and so forth. ‘And if he could put it to rhyme, he might say: “Only thirty- seven fifty—but man alive, they're worth forty-five.” But Cliff can’t sing it for us, so we’ll have to depend upon this orthodox announce- ment to bring you in to see them. Theyre worth the trip. THURSDAY, MARCH 35, 1925. told his fellow countrymen that he would like to talk on his political ideals and alms, but added: ““Unfortunately I am not in a position to do 0. The speaker referred to the $27,000 fund raised in the United States 11 years ago. The money, he said, was raised for political activities in Hun- gary. | Any account of the fund, he pointed out, must carry an account of the Hungarian political situation. “This I cannot do,” he said.

Proceeds of the dinner will be de- voted to the education of the count's three children, it was said.

These New Spring Serges by Sheldon (in single or double breasted coats) emphasize the new style trend, which is that the coat must hang loosely from broad shoulders (natural or padded) and the trousers correspond to the coat in fullness and straight lines. The value is more than the price calls for, because Sheldon has gone out of his way to help us make this one of our outstanding features for Spring. (First Floor, The Hecht Oo.)
