NEW YORK.—(J. T. A.) -• A
near-riot occurred at Pier 59, Hud-
son River, late Tuesday night when
a crowd of liberal Hungarians liv-
ing in New York, members of the
Anti-Horthy League, demonstrated
against the Horthy regime in Hun-
gory on the arrival of the steamer
Olympic, bringing the 503 members
of the Hungairian delegation which
came to unveil the memorial to
Louis Kossuth at Riverside Drive
and 113th street.
About 100 members of the dele-
gation are Jews, including the two
Jewish democratic deputies, Dr,
Ernest Brody end Bela Fabian,
who is known for his duels with
anti-Semite leaders in Iluegary,
and Professor Joseph Belas,a.
Newspapermen who were look-
ing for Ilejias, the notorious lead-
er of the anti-Jewish terror in Hun-
gary, who was reported to be a
member of the delegation, were told
that Dr. S. Ilejnis is not to he iden-

and "Kossuth Monument finally

the Anti-Ilorthy League assembled
at the pier an hour before the
Olympic docked and began jeering
as the steamer came up to the pier.
Synagogues Invite Members.
Several of the non-Jewish mem-
bers of the delegation, headed by
Count Perenyi, and the Jewish
members, nanny of them in Ortho-
dox Jewish garb, were invited by
the First Hungarian Congregation,
Ohab Zedek, to attend Sabbath
services at the synagogue.
The rank and file of the Jewish
members of the delegation declined
to comment on the situation of the
Jews in Hungary. The leaders,
however, including deputies Fabian
and Brody and Professor Barlassa,
declared that the sivation is im-
proving. Deputy Fabian expressed
his belief that the Hungarian peo-
ple are not anti-Semitic and that
