The Bucharest daily “Cuvintul” publishes a report to-day denying that anyone was killed in the attack made on the Jewish social held in Ungheni, near Jassy, in aid of the funds of the local Jewish library. It denies that the outrage was antisemitic. A few drunken hooligans broke into the hall and created a disturbance, it declares, and three Jewish boys, among them the boy Auerbach, who was at first reported dead, have been very badly beaten by the hooligans.
