William Marconi expects to telephone ncrois tho Atlantic in the near future, possibly within six months. This state ment he made to the New York Times' lAinoon correspondent, at the same time denying the report which has fre quently cropped up in tbe Inst few motUUs that lie had succeeded in talk ing across tho Atlantic. "Homo newspaper accounts of my ro- cont exierlineiits in Italy," he said "weio very funny. Hero Is one that says I succeeded In talking over a dis tance of more than 4,000 miles. As u matter of fact, we talked by wireless over n distance of slightly more than forty-five miles, which was nil we ex pected and know we could do with tho apparatus we were using.
