' Object of the “flight:’ it was an- founced, is to prove.the' theory of officials of the Army ajr service that the nation’s birdmen ‘can shift large groups of military planes from base to base during the sunshine periods of a single day. Weather conditions at the start of the flight were anything. but ideal. Low janging foz banke compelled the avia- tors to choose between flying danger- ously close to the tree tops or rising ihove the clouds, from which tharks would not be. discernable.

PAUL, Minn, June 15.—Word that the national administration, through the republican senatorial committee, would take a hand in the July 16 elec- tion in Minnesota, when the late Sen- ator Knute Nelson's successor will be| chosen was received with considerable interest in politiczl circles in the state today. Reports that Senator George H. Moses of the senatorial committee is taking a hand in the campaign prior to the June 18 primary in the interests of Gov. J. A. O. Preus, were denfed by friends of the governor, who is one of the nine can- didates seeking the republican nomina- tion. According to these rumors letters were sent by Senator Moses urging Minnesotans to rally to the support of Gov. Preus. In this connection it was pointed out in some circies that the governor is a close personal friend of President Harding.
