der Repeated Delays
ON BOARD tJ. S. S. CRUISER
RICHMOND, Reykjavik, Iceland,
Aue. 20. (By the Associated
Press.) The fortnight's delay in
the American army aviators' world
flight, due to uncertainty regard
ing ice conditions in Greenland
and several mishaps, has brought
about a fuel shortage in the naval
patrol, which is further compli
cating the flight situation.
Rear Admiral ' Thomas P. Ma-
cruder admitted this when his
flagship, lhe Richmond, put into
Reykjavik today with spare parts
for the planes of Lieuts. Smith
and Nelson. A further delay In
the flight, owing to weather pr
other causes, would necessitate
refueling the patrol vessels.
Flight commander Leighton,
who returned to Reykajvik on the
Richmond, after having made an
air - reconnaissance along the
Greenland coast in one of the
planes of the.: cruiser Raleigh, re
ported to Admiral Magruder that
the entire coast In the vicinity of
Angmagsalik is unsuitable ' for
landing purposes, owing to the
ice. He said that in the event
of forced;", landings the planes
could find no shelter.
According to flight commander
Leighton, another aviator- who
flew over the region reached the
same conclusion as" he did. The
harbor 20 miles north of Angmag
salik, reported last week by Lieu
tenant Sbultz, was found to be Im
practicable, as motor boats would
have been unable to enter it and
deliver gas and oil to the planes
had they gone there.
When the Richmond came to
anchor here a gale was raging and
Lieutenant Smith, Lieutenant Nel
son and Lieutenant Crumrine of
the air service had difficulty in
boarding her for a conference with
Admiral Magruder. -
The admiral presented to the
aviators the difficulties of the sit
uation from the naval viewpoint,
laying stress on the fuel scarcity.
Lieutenant Smith earnestly point
ed' out that it was possible for
himself and Lieutenant Nelson to
make the remainder of the flight
without delay, barring accidents,
and with a little rest between the
hops to Labrador. , Lieutenant Lo
catelll, the Italian aviator, ' came

George G. Bingham who took the
matter under advisement follow
ing a hearing yesterday. The at
tack .of the plaintiff centered
around the alleged unconstitution
ality of the law in spite of the fact
that the court! indicated rthat it
would not pass upon that phase of
the question. I "
Wlnsiow declared that the law
under which the governor's proc

the right -of con
