Norway, May 25. A dis patch from Spitsbergen to the Shipping Gazette says no news has been received regarding the Amud scn polar flight expedition up to 2 o'clock this morning. Tho dispatch reads: "As lute, as 2 a. in. today there was no news of Amudsen. Tho Hobby (ono of the expedition's steamers) has re turned to Wellman Bay, having patrolled north and .east of Danc'8 island. Sho found leu conditions difficult." The dispatch added that "among members of tho expedition a cer. tuln amount or depression prevailed because of Aiuudscn's non-uppear- anco. If their flying boats were dnmaged the members of tho ex pedition will have a long and dangerous Journey.

"Krom the top of Amsterdam island, the captain of tho Farm saw open Water to the northward where tho machines might have de scended." NEW YORK. May 25. Mingled expressions of pessimism and opti mism aro voiced by explorers and aviators here regarding tho fate of tho Amundson-Ellsworth expedi tion. The Norwegian explorer, his American backer and their four companions have not been heard from since they left Spitrbcrgon for tho pole in two airplanes Thursday night. Persons most familiar with Cap tain Amudsen and polar exploration scon nothing nlurming in his fail ure to return to his' base In 24 hours ns originally planned. Early Hossman, a foreigner wto lived ln Amundsen's supply hut at Wain wrlght, Alaska, thought that Amundsen's thoroughness was prob ably responsible for tho delay. "If ho has found a new conti nent he will bag it so thoroughly that nobody will be able to ques tion it," Kossmnn said. Fear Injury Others feared a forced landing, injury to cither tho planes or men or both, or some accident in either landing or taking oft for the re turn. It was pointed out, how ever, that tho expedition carried sufficient food for a month and that at tho expiration of that time tho party should bo .in territory where it could kill northern game. Hlfles und ammunition for this contingency were carried in the planes. , Vernon S. Prentice, brother-in-law of Lincoln Kllsworth, believed the planes would land In Alaska. Mr. Prendre said ho felt no con cern because of the delay and that ho expected no word until tomor row. Amundsen's duslro to find new. lands would probably .lead him to steer for Alaska,' Mr. Prentice said. l)oubt Is Voiced This view was shared Vilhjulmar Stofnnsson nnd other explorors, al though dispatches from Nomo threw doubt on the probability of Amund sen's aiming for the American peninsula. - No concerted plans for a relief party have been mnilu hut the American expedition of Com mander Donald McMillan Is leaving Host on for tho Arctic In Juno and tho United States nnvy dlrlglblu Los Angeles and Shenandoah may be utilized if necessary.'

Alone in a desolate broken country, the two men met on equal terms and on rough, rocky ground fought to the end, according to authorities.
