"RED CATHERINE."

A SOCIETY BOLSHEVIK.

ENTRY TO U.S.A. MAY BE BLOCKED. (BY CABLE—raess ASSOCIATION—COPTBIOHT) (Sidxest "Sux" Service.) NEW YORK. October £B. An official of the National Security Leaguo is asking the Government to prevent tho entry of Countess Catherine Karolyi, wife of the former President of Hungary, who has just arrived for a series of lectures in America. The Security League says that tho Countess is a Bolshevik and a menace to American institutions.

Up to a late hour to-day the Countess had not come ashore, while GO policemen, sent at the request of the State Department, patrolled the wharf. Trouble was feared in view of the threatening letters she had received. Hundreds of Hungarians attended on the pier to greet her. Mr Stanwood Menken, president of the league, said that the Countess was known in Hungary as "Bed Catherine," and was particularly dangerous because of her charming personality, beauty, and ability aa an actress to make an appeal to fashionable audiences. Mr Menken declares that she told the Italian police that she was coming to America to establish Communistic groups.
