The chance that Juda Brzezinski, 25, who recently stowed away from Nieport near Warsaw on the S. S. Pulaski, will evade deportation by the Department of Labor is slim, according to an announcement made yesterday by the Hias, immigrant aid society, which is attempting to intervene in the young Jew’s behalf.

The stowaway was discovered aboard the Pulaski soon after the ship left port. According to the present law the stowaway must be deported on the same ship on which he arrived. Pending disposition of the case Brzezinski is being detained at Ellis Island.

The Hias dispatched the facts of the case to its attorney in Washington, who placed them before the Department of Labor. Meanwhile the stowaway is appealing to his friends and relatives to aid him.

Brzezinski has relatives in this country but is ignorant of their addresses. He does remember, however, the name of one uncle, Israel Fuchson. Another family name he remembers is Kronenberg.

Mr. Spielman, of 8 Featherbed lane, the Bronx, a landsmann of the stowaway, says the young man comes from a fine family and adverse circumstances forced him to leave home.
