A huge silken bag identified as that of Captain Ernest de Muyter of Bel- gium, the dean of the 19th interna- tional classic, was reported over Earleville, in the central part of New York, at 6:30 a. m. (E. 8 .T.), a dis- tance of approximately 325 miles from the starting point. Another believed to be the City. of Detroit, piloted by Edmund J. Hill of the American trio of contestants, was seen at Syracuse, at 7:30 a.m. Hill won the event three years ago. A third and unidentified baltoon passed over Cortland, about 20 miles west of Earleville, at 8:10 a.m. The other three were unreported but pre- sumably following in the same general rection. Observers of atmospheric condi- tions believed the balloonists, instead of proceeding directly eastward across New York as the latest reports in- dicated, had a good opportunity of striking cross winds which would blow them in a more northerly direction and circle into Maine. A report that one of the balloons was flying perilously close tv the sur- face of Lake Erie alarmed race nead- quarters, but a diligent search by coast guardsmen failed of results and confidence was felt that all were safe. All carried inflated rubber boats or other life-saving equipment as 1 pre- caution. A balloon, in which George Hine- man and Milford Vanik of Cleveland took off chead of the international racers to show wind velocity and to establish a duration and distance rec- ird for free bags of 25. cubic feet capacity, also was in the air some- where east of Cleveland today. The race started at 5:04 p. m. yesterday as the climax of a two-day air show. TWO FATALLY HURT | Man Near Death When Freight Train Hits Automobile Valley City, N.

Voegle was cranking his automobile last week when the machine backfired and the crank struck him in the ab- comen. He was in great pain but was not hrought to a local hospital for several hours. When he got here it was found that an intestine had been ruptured by the blow and that peritonitis had set in.

HEARST EXPELLED New York Man Told That He Is = Considered an Enemy of France Action Is Aftermath of Publica- tion of Documents Showing Secret Naval Treaty London, Sept. 2—(7)—William Ran- \dolph Hearst, American publisher, ar- rived in London today. Mr. Hearst. asked about his expulsion from France, said: “I have no complaint to make. They said I was an enemy of France and a danger in their midst.” The publisher gontinued: “The reason for our strained rela- tions was the publication of an Anglo- French treaty two years ago, by the Hearst newspapers.” “Officials were extremely polite,” continued Hearst. “They made me feel quite important. They said I could stay a little while longer if I de- sired, that they would take a chance on nothing disastrous happening to the republic. But I told them I didn’t want to take the responsibility of en- dangering the Great French nation that America had saved it once dur- ‘ing the war and I would save it again by leaving.” REPORTERS ACTIONS {HELD UNETHICAL | Paris, Sept. 2—(4)—The Havas jNews Agency said today an order of expulsion had been served on William Randolph Hearst, American news- paper publisher, and that Mr. Hearst would leave France this evening in compliance with it. No reason was given for the order. Harold J. T. Horan, a Paris corre- spandent for the Universal Service. one of the Hearst news organizations, in October, 1928, was expelled from France for his part in securing for publication in America in the Hearst papers and other members of the Universal Service association docu- ments connected with the secret Anglo-French naval pact. Horan was charged with having ob- tained the documents from the French foreign office in a manner considered unethical. The Anglo- American Press association expelled him from its membership in connec- tion with the affair. At the time the French press as- sailed Mr. Hearst as responsible for the naval accord leak. The so-called secret accord provided for a cruiser arrangement between France and England. Publication of its terms aroused a storm of protest in Europe and America, where accusations were made of a new Anglo-French military alliance. The pact subsequently was disavowed. The Paris Afternoon Press printed briefly an announcement of Mr. Hearst’s expulsion. One paper indi- cated the government action was due to his “inimical attitude” toward France. | PORT TROOPS TO HAVE LONG HIKE Will Go to Pursian Lake for Maneuvers; General Sum- merall to Come Here Troops at Fort Lincoln will have a taste of what war means from Sep- tember 8 to 28 when they will hike to Pursian Lake, near Braddock, to en- Gage in field maneuvers.
