(P Captain Dlcudnnnc Cost;'. France's premier aviator, announc ed this morning lie would take oTf on his mysterious Ions distance journey to Tokyo to jace the Zep pelin across the Pacific, or to New York as soon as weather condi tions permitted. This information was accepted generally as explaining his failure to appear at the field this morning fur scheduled takeoff at dawn. He made a three-hour test flight this morning in his plane, the Ques tion Mark, and at the end of the flight announced tiiat the wireless iipparatns which had not functioned properly yesterday, was now work ing at its best. The French flier was silent to day as to his exact plans but if he has abandoned his project announc ed yesterday of a flight to Tokyo. It is believed due to the pressure of friends. It is understood that (hey have been pointing out It might seem ungracious to Dr. Hugo Kckener, and to (lermany to Inaugurate a race nrouud the vortd and might be interpreted as iin attempt of the French flier to detract from the honors which D-. . I'.ekoner Is receiving for his great dirigible flight. It was thought therefore Hint this mlghl Induce Coste not In pur sue the Zeppelin and to head in stead for New York, perhaps meet ing the dirigible on American soil. As he jumped out of the cockpit after today's trial flight. Coste said: "I don't know myself what I will do." 1 T i f , - !
