LK HOL'RCKT. France. Aug. 22.
(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
