F., May 9. Xew Foundland will be linked with the Azores tomorrow by a chain of Amer ican destroyers. The last -f the guard- ships detailed for the third leg of the navy's trans-Atlantic seaplanes' flight left here tonight for their stations. Aid of Moon Desired. Navy officers here expected the avia tors would push through from Halifax today because of the unusually favor able weather. It is believed the stay here will be cut to a minimum because of a desire to take advantage of the help expected from the moon, which becomes full May 14. Night flying will be necessary on the third leg of the tir voyage, which will take the planes to the Azores. ST. JOHNS, N. F., May 9. With un favorable weather still preventing the trans-Atlantic flight of the Eritish avi ators here, tomorrow is expected to heighten local Interest with the ar rival of the steamer Digby from Liver pool, bringing Colonel John Cyril l'orte's flying boat for entering the air race for the London Daily Mail's 150, 000 prize.

The British air ministry's me teorological service sent In favorable accounts, while wireless reports from ships at sea showed an easterly gale with storm indications sweeping far out. PRESS CLUB ASKS APOLOGY (Continued From First Page.; Cll 0 1 JEERED BY SOLDIERS American Legion Turns Down Bid for Convention. MINNEAPOLIS IS CHOSEN WASHINGTON, May 9. Postpone ment of the flight of the two navy sea Planes from Halifax to Trepassey bay, N. F., until tomorrow, officially, re ported to the navy department today, did not dampen the enthusiasm with which officers here regard prospects for Successful accomplishment of the trans-Atlantic air Journey by' these machines. The postponement was due to a desire to replace: four propellers but no details- were contained in the message from the mine-layer Baltimore et Halifax. It was assumed by officers here that the propellers on both the NC-1 and the KC-3 showed signs of wear, which prompted Commander Jtjn H. Towers, in command of the seaplane division, to wait over a day at Halifax. Possibly it had been decided to change to a elightly different type, it was said, but at any rate It was certain that only minor troubles had been developed in the machines in the 500-mile dash yes terday from Rockaway to Halifax. ProlonareC Delay Unlikely. Arrangements for the flight were said today to be working out smooth ly and while the machines are en route to the region of Cape Broyle, from which the actual flight for Europe will be started, the stage is being set for that trans-Atlantic flight. Naval vessels were moving today into their station along the path to be followed under regular schedule and nothing would develop, it was said, that would make a prolonged delay in starting for the Azores necessary unless the machines encountered further accidents. Arrival of the NC-4, held up yester day by engine trouble at Chatham- light, Mass., early today ended anxiety ns to the safety of the flying boat and her crew. Lieutenant A. C. Read, her commander, personally informed the department of his arrival with only two of his four motors working. Re pairs were begun at once and it is ex pected the NC-4 will get under way to Join the division at Trepassey bay on Sunday, weather permitting. Weather Outlook Favorable. It was expected that Towers would pet his two planes at Halifax into the Jiir early tomorrow for the 475-mile jaunt to Cape Broyle. Weather indica tions were fairly favorable tonight and the planes should make the trip in about eight hours. After arriving at. the rea! western end c.f the trans-Atlantic attempt, the machines are prac tically certain to be rejoined by tht NC-4 in ample time for all three to be . thoroughly overhauled before the start for Europe is made. Extra parts and all other means for refitting are ready available for them on the station ship at Trepassey bay, where a small flying boat also is stationed for the testing of air currents and assembling final data. CHATHAM, Mass., May 9. The naval seaplane NC-4, missing since late yes terday, when she wa forced to descend while attempting a flight from Rocka way to Halifax, was towed 'nto C.iat ham. harbor by a motorboat from the Chatham aviation station about 5:3 o'clock this morning. Micht Famed on Sea. The NC-4 was first sighted by guard at the station. The members cf the crew of the seaplane reported that they were comfortable and that they had passed the night on a calm sea. Only one engine of the seaplane was 1 service, the other havii been disabled on the trip from Rockaway. HALIFAX. N. S., May 9. Captain John Alcock and a party of aviators and mechanics arrived here today on the liner Mauretania to prepare for an attempt to fly across the Atlantic. It was said that a Vickers-Vim bombing- plane would arrive on later ship and be taken to St. Johns, f.. where Captain Alcock expects to begin his flight. SAN DIEGO, Cal., May 9. As a re suit of the effort now being made by United States naval aviators to fly across the Atlantic, . discussion among some of the army and nav; aviators have turned to the possibil ity oi a mgnt between the Pacific coast and Hawaii. Thus far the plan has not passed beyond the discussion stage, some of the airmen professin to believe that a flight to Hawaii an then on across the Pacific is possible, while others are of the opinion that the flight is not yet feasible. It is possible that the plan may be take up with the heads of the aerial de partments at Washington, but amon many of the airmen here it a not be seemly features of any selected, ap proved American statesman or soldier. with preference for Washington, Pershing, Lincoln or Wilson, the execu tive board rejects it. Club Hospitality Deemed Violated. "The executive board and members of the Portland Press club feel amply competent to make their own selec tions," asserted Ralph Watson, presi dent of the club. "It Isn't a question of the picture. To Hades with the picture. It's the unwarranted act of Captain Nease in taking it down, while he was a guest of the club." Presumably the picture went to the ash can and thence to the furnace or the incinerator. As near as mortal wishes may be answered off-hand, it is almost certain' that the Hearst like ness perished In a glare worthy of the pit-mouth itself. President Watson may plume himself on a direct response to prayer. But Captain Nease and his father, who is himself "hard-boiled," as he de scribes it, have another theory of the Press club status while it housed the publicity department of the fifth lib erty loan. They maintain that it shed its exclusiveness when it said to the bureau, "Come in," and that henceforth it became a public place, an auxiliary temple to the victory loan. Therefore they pursue the argument, it was mani festly --impossible for anyone to enter the Press -club, on liberty loan busi ness bent, and at the same time be guest of the club. Father Defends Son "For the time being," explained Mr. Nease, "it was a public place. More than that, It was the official headquar ters of one of the state departments of the liberty loan. Now who in (here he borrowed President Watson's expres sive phrase) wants to see W. Ran dolph Hearst, an outlaw in American sentiment, swinging placidly where the victory loan work is the business of the day? Humph! And so my son. Captain Nease, was in no sense a guest of the Press club when he most deservedly cut Willie Hearst down from his frame. He was member of the victory loan organiza tion, in a victory loan office, and he was somewhat of an American at the same time. The Press club lost its nri vate rating when it opened its doors to the publicity department and the speak rs' bureau. There s no getting around tnat. 'I had a talk with District Attorney Evans," continued Mr. Nease. "Hi asked me to remember that William Randolph Hearst Is an American citizen. ''The same as you and I," he told me. I flared up at that. Hold on, there, Evans,' I said. He may be the same sort of American citizen as you, but I'll be dinged if e s my kind.' Of course, he qualified is statement then, but I told him that we weren't looking for any favors from the district attorney's office and that if he felt he had a duty to per form, why, just to go ahead and oer- ivrm 1 L. Oregon Delegation Leads in Demon stration Against Invitation From Windy City. -Apology Declared Iuc. Ralph Watson, chief executive of the Portland Press club, sets forth the counter argument and insists that an pology is due. He has no word to say concerning tho restoration of the picture itself, but he feels the grave smay of the Arab chieftain who has pilled ..salt and broken bread with ome desert waif only to find with awn that his pet colt is leagues and leagues away. It is the law of hosoi- allty, broken into bits, that elves Mr. waison pained pause. At a meeting of the board of di rectors held yesterday," said Mr. Wat son, "the secretary was instructed to write a letter to Captain Nease in lorming nim mat His act was unwar ranted, reminding him that he came as an unbidden guest and asking that an apology be made. It is not that the Press club holds any brief for Mr. Hearst: it is simply that Captain Nease came into the club as he would enter any home and that while there he vio lated its hospitality." Late yesterday afternoon Captain Nease had not yet received the letter defining his misdemeanor and requlr ng. or him an humble and contrite heart. He indicated, however, that such communication would have to thrill like a best-seller If it touched his cardiac regions, hardened by a few practicalities at Chateau-Thierry and elsewhere at the front in France. Son la IV ot Repentant. "Nope!" responded the captain, when asked if he felt the compunctions of ST. LOUIS, May 9. Efforts on the part of leaders in the American Legion to prevent questions considered of a political nature coming to a vote in the caucus, vigorous attack on the patriotism of Chicago and Its mayor. William H. Thompson, and selection of Minneapolis as the next convention city, were among the developments In today's session of the soldiers , sailors and marines' organiz-itKn which is holding its first national caucus here For the time being, at least, the question of the caucus' attitude on pro hibition and on the charges of na tional guard officers that they have been unfairly discriminated against in favor of regular army men, was set aside. The prohibition question was killed in a special meeling of the na tional resolutions committee late to day r-.nd the national guard question was .temporarily laid aside. The move is understood to have the backing of Lieutenant-Colonel Theodore Roose velt. Colonel Bennett Clark r.nd other leaders In the organization. Forced Action Threatened. Backers of resolutions regarding these two questions insist they will force the caucus to take some action. but now are meeting with firm opposi tion. The attack against voting on prohi bition was led in the committee meet ing by West Virginia and Kentucky. Chicago and Mayor Thompson were bitterly denounced as unpatriotic when the question of the next convention city came up. The Chicago delegation had decorated the convention hall with signs boosting that city, but after a cpeech by J. F. J. Herbert of Massachu setts, delegates tore down many of them. Massachusetts will not agree will ingly to having a convention of soldiers in the gr-jat war go to a city that has as its first citizen, by vote, one who cannot measure up in any small part to the test of 100 per cent American ism," said Mr. Herbert, when Chlcag was suggested. Chlcaaro Bid Decried. The hall is placarded by signs say ing 'the American Legion, Chicago wants you in November.' If these signs said 'Chicago soldiers and sailors want you," we could consider it, but our re ply now must be: 'Chicago cannot have us now or any other time until Chicago has an American for mayor.' " The applause following the speech lasted several minutes and then, led by the Oregon delegation, the delegates began tearing down the signs. The Nebraska delegation in casting its vote said it wanted it known that the action was accompanied by the sentiment "to hell with 'Big Bill' Thompson." John H. Cummings of Chicago re plied to Mr. Herbert, urging the dele gates not to impugn the patriotism of baO.OOO Chicagoans who rallied to the flag because the city had a "mayor of which it was ashamed. Colonel Luke Lea of Tennessee later offered a resolution declaring the re jection of Chicago was not meant as a reflection on the patriotism of its loyal citizens. This was carried unanimously. Other Cities In Line. Pittsburg, St. Louis and San Fran cisco were among other cities endeav oring to obtain the coming convention The soldiers' and sailors' council of Seattle, Wash., was barred from the organization on the ground that its membership contained L W. W. and other so-called radicals. It was in formed that many of its members would be welcomed by the legion, but that they first must sever connection with the club. Sergeant Sherman Curtln, represent ing the club, declared it was endeavor ing to "clean out the I. W. W. and bolsheviki." He was both hissed and cheered at times, but his credentials were discredited. The caucus today elected Private P C. Calhoun, a marine of Bridgeport, Conn., third vice-chairman, and adopted several minor resolutions, including one urging support of the victory liberty loan. The caucus is scheduled to close to morrow, but the slowness with which the various questions have been settled may make another day necessary. 23. 26. 27. 23. 29. 30. Conch school.
