Governor Pierce said last night that he was not pre
pared to say whether he would withdraw his proclamation
deferring the opening of the hunting season from August
20 to September 20, which sportsmen are endeavoring to per
suade him to do since a heavy rain has fallen in the state.
The governor declared the season closed until September 20,
because of the drought and on ground that to allow hunters
in the woods would increase the danger of forest fires.
The governor said that he is being besieged with ire
quests to withdraw the proclamation, but that he has riot
decided 'whether he will do so, or whether he has authority
to do so. He said that he would talk with forestry officials
today. i i ' - .
Walter C. Winslow, local attorney who represents the
sportsmen, said last night that the governor definitely prom
ised not to close the season in event of rain, and that efforts
are being made to hold him to the promise. He said the
governor has not absolutely refused to withdraw the prbcla
mation,! but: that if he does refuse the sportsmen will take
the question to court.

Cruiser Rushes Parts to
Damaged Planes Three
Days' Delay
REYKJAVIK, Iceland, Aug. 18
(By tho AP.)Lieut.i Lowell
H. Smith and Lieut. Erik Nelson
suffered another setback in their
world flight today when they at
tempted to start on the. long de
ferred hop from Reykjavik to
Greenland. Both their planes were
so badly : damaged as to necessi
tate at least three more days' de
lay.
Carrying heavy loads of fuel, as
it was the intention to fly more
than 800 miles across the ice
infested waters Qf the North At
lantic to Fredericksdal, the ma
chines refused to leave the water.
Repeated efforts were made to
rise, . and the strain caused the
breaking of the spreader bar of
Lieutenant Smith's plane,, while
the propeller of Lieutenant Nel
son's plane was shattered.
Already chafing under their
forced stay at Reykjavik, this mis
fortune came as a heavy blow to
the aviators but, accustomed to
the uncertainty of flying, they
soon became reconciled to further
delay and are . now anxiously
awaiting j the arrival of the cruis
er Richmond, which is hurrying
here with spare parts . for the
planes, j . ; ;
It is not expected, however, that
the Richmond will reach here be
fore Wednesday; As soon as the
cruiser is anchored the necessary
parts will be brought ashore and
the Americans will set to work
Immediately ' making the repairs
so as to : be ready to start again
as soon as the patrolling vessels
report favorable flying conditions.
