Officials of the National Security League are asking the Government to prevent the entry of Countess Catherine Karolyi, wife of the former President of Hungary, who has just arrived for a senes of lectures. The Security League says she is a Bolshevik and a menace to American institutions. Up to a late hour to-day the Countess had not come ashore, while sixty policemen, sent at the request of the State Department, patrolled the wharf. Trouble is feared, in view of the threatening letters she received. Hundreds of Hungarians attended the pier to greet her. Stamvood Menken, president of the League, said she was known in Huns''ll s a s Red Catherine,’’ and was particularly dangerous because of her charming personality, beauty, and ability as an actress, to make an appeal to a fashionable audience. Menken declares she told the Italian police she was coming to America to establish Communistic groups.—Sydney Sun Cable.
