Assoclated Press. YORK, December 3.—The yy Depurtment’s decision to launch &h by air for the north pole dur- ing the coming summer will result in friend competition between Navy and the Amundsen air expedi- tion. hich will about the same time malk its sccond attempt to fly over ihe pole, Hakon H. Hammer, Capt. Amundsen's aide, sald tonight. * Mr, Hammer <aid that in view of the fact that the Navy had assigned Lieut. Ralph Davison to pilot a third plane in the Amundsen-Hammer ex- pedition, he took it for granted that ihe two transpolar expeditions would engage in a “very friendly competi- tion.” “Tho Navy's announcement will in 10 way change our'plans,” he said. 'On the contrary, it amounts to an in- dorsement of our undertaking and greatly increases the inspiration. If e should have to suffer defeat in be- iug the first over the pole, both Capt. Amuundsen and I will find consola- tion_and pleasure in congratulating ited States Navy. k] the | ONVENTIONS Three Parties Strugsle to' s, former | | surance jploves mjured and dep: Hodearrier Seeks to Become Doctor, Revealed in Probe By the Assoctted Press HARTFORD, ber d—Eizht aud wuiy De sheriits Conn., deputy a o opnth i (ymsix et ix imvestd oiice af med nd profossors anes- ot mide “thed ihe tudy i been Zriph wean i ~ail thes bad e, een HOUSE FAILS AGAIN TO ELECT SPEAKER AFTER 4 BALLOTS First P TO BITTER END.. o sdves wanted Sazs Lonzworth Knows.
