Earlier In the day wireless experts

opinion was confirmed by the spparent
difficulty In communicating to the air

thorlties were doing everything In
their power to render the assistance

MIXEOLA. X. T., July 5. Lieutenant
Colonel Frederick Lucas. R. A. F In
charge of British arrangements here
tor the arrival of the dirigible R-J4,

fore alighting for fuel. He suggested
thst American destroyers be sent to
tow the dirigible to Montauk Point.
Two hundred naval mechanics here
have been called out and are held In
readiness to go to Montauk Point.
There Is plenty of gasoline and ZOO.OOO
cubic feet of hydrogen gas at that
place. I
Colonel Lucas said the Chatham field
was too small and there was no force
of men available there or at Boston to
assist in the K-3's proposed landing.
MIXEOLA. V. Y.. July 5. A wireless
message from the K-34, relayed here
from Boston, indicated that the high
power radio was out of commission.
It read:
High power off except on half-kilo
watt set."
Officers feared this mishap might
make it difficult for naval craft to lo
cate the dirigible in the dark.-
Captain C. T. Craven. director of
American naval aviation here, left to
night for Boston in case the dirigible
s forced to land at Chatham.
Captain Craven was accompanied by
Major Hugh Fuller, R. A. F., who had
charge of arrangements for the land
ng here. Two other American naval
officers vwrre In the party.
The entire British contingent here
may leave for Boston in the morning
If it appears possible for the R-34 to
arrive there.
British officers said three courses
were open to the commander of the
R-34 if he ran completely out of fuel.
He could make a "good" landing in an
open field, drop an anchor Into a tree
nd remain aloft or In the event trouble
came while over water could drop
sea anchor, which would cut down the
irshift's drift by about two-thirds.
