The question could not be answered with eaxetnes :, there being republicans and democrats at the table, and naturally opinions differed. The Baron seemed : amused at the way politics were discussed. A discussion of political parties and conventions then followed. Asked as to where he was going from here, he stated that he will go to Cuba sometime early next month and someone remarked, “that's the land of sunshine and highballs.” "Highballs." inquired the Baron, "what's that?” "Well we can’t show you now,’ replied those around the table and someone explained in American language what they use to make a highball. The Baron smil'd and said, "well you can get a plenty of good liquor in New York.” Discussed European Affairs. The Baron was serious and took a great interest in the discussion of Europea-n affairs. He wanted to discuss sttth subjects. He blamed France for much of the turmoil and revolution in Germany and the other countries today. He expressed a thought that America should, by economic means or through the demanding of tin- war loans from France, bring - about a be'ter condition. France is doing the tilings which Germany did I before the war. was the way the' Baron expressed himself. Baron Hatvany was greatly impressed with the farming and agriculture industry in America. He| marveled at the wonders and sights i in New York, but said it took too long, to get about, that he spent about two hours in the subways and did not get i any place. He liked the sky-line and big buildings. Interested in Sugar Industry Baron Hatvany, without doubt one of the wealthy men of Hungary, is Interested in the manufacture of. cm,ar from beets, he being a partner | of Messrs. J. Deutsch and Son, of Budapest. He also owns large farms 1 and is interested in textile mills and ether manufacturing plants. He learned of the local sugar mill through Meinrath and Company,' brokers of New York, and immediately got on the train and came to Decatur Io see the local plant in operation. He stated that it was a modern and well operated mill. One of the factories ipvmd by the Baron Is, about twice as large as the one here. i

Baron Hutvan., deplores the condi- < lions existing in Hungary as a result 1 of Austria-Hungary being mt up In 1 several separate states us a result, of the peace treaty. Intercourse with these other small countries is almost Impossible, the Baron stated, and it handicaps business and everything In * general. The financial situation in 1 Hungary is also suffering, their s money, now called the crown, being y depreciated like other foreign ex- ' change. Land is selling for about S3O an acre, while it takes S6O to buy a good suit of clothes. A million crowns is worth S3O, the Huron stated. The two hours with the Baron was greatly enjoyed and those who wore with him wore convinced that he was a student of affairs and a big business man. Ho will b« in this country until the first of the year. Lost His Purse When Baron Hatvany loft the Pullman train this morning be remembered that he left his purse in his berth.
