August 28.—A row over Capt. Rene Fonck's projected airplane flight from New York to Paris has developed among the leaders and the backers of the ex- pedition. The situation is so serious that at one time a complete reorgani- zation of the project, eliminating the famous French ace and giving the giant Sikorsky biplane to an all- American crew, was rumored as about to oceur. Even now it is not certain that this plan has been finally discarded. In fact, there is more than a pass- ing intimation that the transatlantic attempt, already twice or thrice post- poned beyond the announced date of starting, may be passed up altogether this year and a personnel, with no representation at all from France, selected for an unhurried try in 1927 at the 3,600-mile hop with its $25,000 prize. The squabble Imperiling the Yenture apparently is a matter of divided au- thority among the Argonauts, Inc., the organization financing the flight, and Capt. Fonck. It already has resulted in the resignation of Lieut. G. 0. Noville as flight engineer—a, po- sition which he also held with the Byrd Arctic expedition. Byrd and Hinton Mentioned. In the discussion of an entirely new leadership for the flight, Lieut. Comdr. Richard E. Byrd, who flew to the Pole and back, and Lieut. Walter C. Hin- ton, one of the pilots of the first air- plane flight across the Atlantic, have been mentioned as the most desirable | men to head the project. Comdr. Byrd declared he would like nothing better than to attempt the | New York-Paris flight in Igor Sikor- sky’s S-35, the plane built for Fonck, but said he would not consider it at the present time as the result of any quarrel which eliminated the French ace. Such a step, he said, would in- volve serfous international complica- tions between this country and France at a time when feelg is none too good anyway. Another phase which would prevent Byrd's immediate par- ticipation is the fact that Capt. Fonck already has selected as his navigator for the flight Lieut. Allan P. Snody, U. 8. N., a brother officer of Byrd, who probably would follow suit if his French leader withdrew or was forced out of the expedition. Noville is understood to have with- drawn from the venture over differ- ences concerning the kind of oil to be used in the 425-horsepower Gnome- Rhone Jupiter motors which drive the $35. As a representative of an oil company, he is said to have arranged for a free supply of a mirferal oil succt p\\full\ used by Comdr.

PARIS, August 28.—Premier Averescu, in behalf of Queen Marie, has accepted the invitation to her to dedicate the Rumanian room of Maryhill Museum, Mary- hill, Wash., while on her coming visit to the United States. Plans for the Queen's trip to America are going forward rapidly and the itinerary will be approved at Bucharest before September 1, after consultations with Rumanian officials at home' and abroad. —_—— said, insisted on the use of a French lubricant with whose makers he al- ready for a private arrangement. Third Brand Also Urged. George Honnour, who was Harry Hawker's mechanic prior to Hawker's actual hop-off in 1919 on his unsuc- cessful attempt to fly from Newfound- land to Ireland and came here from the Gnome-Rhone plant in France to serve Fonck in a similar way, favors still another lubricating oil, made in England. Both this and the French lubricant have castor and other vege- table oils in them and are said by their respective champions to be bet- ter suited for the big air-cooled en- gines than a mineral oil. Noville’s argument here was that Byrd used Wright whirlwind motors, which also are air-cooled, and that they worked perfectly on the 15-hour flight to the top of the world and back. Noville resigned his advisory position with the Argonauts a week ago. Another frictlon spot which is caus- ing endless bickering is the matter of Fonck's aides on the transatlantic flight. Last March, when it was first announced that Mr. Sikorsky was building a plane for Capt. Fonck to fly to Paris, it was stated by Lieut. Col. Harold E. Hartney, vice presi- dent and general manager of the Argonauts, that two Americans, one a pilot and the other a navigator and radio operator, would be chosen by the war ace as crew for the S-35. Subsequently it was announced that Lieut. Snody had been selected and a leave granted to him by the Navy Department to make the flight. Still later, Col. Hartney officially an- nounced choice by Capt. Fonck of Capt. Homer M. Barry, veteran Amer- ican fyer, as assistant pilot. More recently still, after the flight had been advanced from ‘between June 20 and July 12" —this and other postponements were due to inherent delays in airplane construction—it again was announced officially that a fourth man would be taken to oper- ate the plane's extensive radio equip- ment. Capt. John R. Irwin, radio ex- pert of the Argonauts, was indicated as the probable choice. Only Snody Mentioned. Capt. Fonck, however, at all the public functions, dinners and luncheons, where he has appeared since arriving here the latter part of April, continued to refer to himseif and Snody as sole members of the crew. Lieut. Snody did likewise. and both, when approached long after the formal announcement of Barry's choice, insisted that no such choice had been made. Relations grew so strained they were obvious to outsiders, and Col. Hartney was asked about the rumors of a “two-man fight.” “That's all bunk,” he said. "“If the plane goes, Barry goes. You can be absolutely certain of that.” W. A. Barry, vice president and gen- eral manager of the Sikorsky Manu- facturing Corporation, told a different story. “It mever has been decided to take third man,” he said, “and the de on rests entirely with Capt. Fone pt. Barry has'flown Mr. Sikorsk; planes more than any other pilot in this country and from our point of view he would be most acceptable. However, that matter is for Capt. Fonck to decide and it is possible #ome one entirely different or no one at all will be' taken.” Mr. Barry also declared that in spite of previous ‘“official” announcements by the Argonauts no radio except a very elemental set would be taken unless tests of the §-35's lifting ability and the cfliciency of the expensive radio apparatus brought here from France showed the expedition could take them safely. The weight-carrying ability of the plane also probably would determine whether a second pilot would be taken, he After Rear Admipal William A. Moffett, chief of the ‘Navy Bureau of Aeronautics, visited Mitchel Field, L. 1., to inspect it, the S-35 yesterday was taken on its third and fourth flights. Each time it carried 12 persons and took the air weighing 10,000 pounds, or two tons more than it ever before lifted. A continued decrease in farm popu- lation in the United States is re- ported by the Department of Agricul- ture, which estimates that there were 479,000 fewer people on farms on January 1 of this year than on Janu- ary 1 a year ago. EXICAN BISHOPS | [__teioen o] |PEYSERHOLDS K FIRM IN ATTITUDE Archbishop Mora y del Rio Tells Vatican Newspaper Reports Are False. By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, August 28.—In a statement issued yesterday the Cath- olic Episcopate announces that the Vatican and the Mexican Episcopate are abeolutely united in an unyleld- ing front, determined not to give up their firm, but pacific, efforts to se- | cure religious lberty. The statement contains messages which passed between the Episcopate and the Vatican several days ago. A communication from the Vatican is given.as follows: “Newspapers announce settlements which do not conform to the Holy See’s instructions.” To this the Episcopate, under the signature of Archbishop Mora y Del Rio, replied: The notices in the newspapers are absolutely false. We will in no man- ner deviate from instructions given by the Holy Sce. The firmest sentiment of all the members of the Episcopate is absolute obedience to and love of the Holy ather. A speclal committee of the Mexican Catholic Episcopate is engaged in drawing up a petition, to which will be appended the signatures of many Catholics of the country, for presen- tation to Congress to have the laws relating to religion either rescinded or amended. As only a few days remain before that body meets, the number of sign- el it is pointed out, will not be so great as would have been the case had there been more time, but the Epis- copate belleves that the petition nevertheless will show that its stand s widely approved. The boycott called by the League ! for Defense of Religlous Liberty as a means for Catholics to show their dis- pleasure over the religious laws ap- pears to be adding daily to the busi- ness depression.

Promised National Post. Although he has withdrawn from the race for department commander, Julius I. Peyser, who closes a term as head of the legion in the District of Columbia today, holds the balance of power in the election for depart- ment commander to succeed himself. The election tonight at Central High School, according to preliminary es- timates of the voting strength of the two candidates nominated last night, finds Peyser controlling enough votes to elect either Harlan Wood or Maj. Gen. Amos A. Fries, the two men re- maining in the race. If Peyser throws the 13 votes he controls to Wood, he has been assuréd he will receive 18 votes from the Wood supporters in addition to the strength he already has, a number considered sufficient to elect him to the post of national executive committeeman. In case the Peyser controlled votes do not go to Wood for department commender, the Wood voters have been instructed to vote for either Frank L. Peckham or Paul McGahan for executive committemen. E. Madison Hill, campaign manager for Wood, and Austin Imrie, serving in a similar capacity for Gen. Fries, both claimed 22 solld votes today, & few hours in advance of the actual balloting. In view of these known votes, it was claimed that the Peyser votes will swing victory either one way or the other. Peyser, Wood ani Fries are all members of the same Masonic lodge and are warm personal friends. The campaign for department commander so far, has been free from the personalities that have enlivened other campaigns. Fisk Declines Nomination. Howard S. Fisk of George Wash- ington Post, No. 1, considered in pre- convention summaries as a dark horse candidate, was not placed in nomination. Wood is a member of McGroarty-O'Connell Post, and Fries, who is chief of the Chemical Warfare Service of the Army, is a member of National Press Club Post. Two Army figures who played lead- ing roles in the World War and the events since the war, were placed in nomination for high legion posts last night. A resolution directing the dele- gates from the District department to the national convention at Philadel- phia in October to present the name of Gen. John J. Pershing for national commander, was passed by the con- vention last night. Willlam Mitchell, former “stormy petrel” of the Army Air Service, who is slated to become mmander of Costello Post and will ikely be a candidate for department commander next vear, was nominted for delegate to the national conven- tion. The resolution indorsing Gen. Pershing - came from George Wash- ington Post, while Costello Post pre- sented the name of Mitchell. The former stant chief of the Army Alr Service sat in the audience at the convention last night, but did not take part_in the ovations which greeted the nominations of Wood and Fries. He marched in the parade of veterans from Columbia. road and Biltmore street to Central High School, which preceded the formal opening of the convention. French Assurances Read. ! Another development was the posi- tive assurance that the leglon will carry out its announced plan to hold the 1927 natlonal conventlon in Paris. Statements were read from the com- mander of a French veterans’ organi- jzation claiming a membership of 2,000,000 men and from Aristide Brland, former premier of France and a member of the French cabinet, as- suring the legion that recent dis- turbances in France were isolated in- cidents and do not reflect the senti- ment of the entire nation toward Americans. Both messages pledged a cordial welcome for the American Legion delegates to the national con- vention. Withdrawal of Capt. Peyser as a candidate for department commander, came only a few hours after he had been approached by a delegation from Costello Post with the request that he withdraw and the pledge that he would recelve support for the post of national executive committeeman. He announced his withdrawal in a prepared statement read to the con- vention, declaring that his re-election would set a bad precedent and that even though he had been persuaded by friends a month ago to run, he was convinced at the time against his better judgment and has since “ar- rived at the very definite conclusion that it would be best not to set such a precedent.” Although several posts had asked Fisk to become a candidate, he had never requested that his name be presented, although both Wood and Fries had urged him to accept a vice commandership on their ticket. The slates prepared by supporters of Wood and Fries were placed in nomination last night almost without change. J. Thad Baker, a pre-con- vention choice for senior vice com- mander on the Wood ticket, was placed in nomination for that post along with Theodore Cogswell, chafr- man of the convention committee. Thomas D. Walsh, also named as a ‘Wood supporter, was nominated for junfor vice commander with Charles Hillegist, who had figured in pre-con- vention straw votes as a supporter of Fries. Alice M.

August 28.—Anti-Amer- ican demonstrations in Paris and hostility shown them on the Riviera and in central France are ‘worrynig tourist conductors, who are afraid that it will cause a drop in’the number of Americans com- ing to France next year. The head of one important agency has stated that he is re- turning to the United States to arrange tours in South America, the Orient and Alaska for the coming year, but that he would leave Europe and especlally France out of his calculations. Many Americans tourists declare that they never will return. Hall were nominated for the third vice commandership. Candidates Get Ovations. ‘The nominations of Wood and Fries for the highest post the legion offers in the District were signals for tumultuous outbursts of cheering and bursts of sound from the Fife and Drum Corps of Costello Post, whose delegation had gone on record in favor of Wood. In addition to Peyser for national executive committeeman, Paul J. Mc- Gahan, the incumbent, and Frank L. Peckham, were placed in namination, while Willlam Wolff Smith and Francis F. Miller were nominated for alternate. The successful candidate will go to the Paris convention with expenses pald. Delegates to the national convention were nominated as follows: Capt. Peyser, and the new department com- mander; Howard S. Fisk, Esther Hall, Marlo Ventura, Thomas N. Temple- ton, Harland Wood, George P. Frailey. W. H. Wyckoff, Joseph J. Idler, W. C. Pickett, Col. Willlam Mitchell, J. N. Morrell, Alice Prentiss and George Landis. Alternates were nominated as follows: F. G. Frazer, Rev. Francis J. Hurney, Robert G. Zacharias, Wil- liam F. Franklin, Helen McCarty, Joseph T. Daily, W. A. Kehoe, Charles L. Riemer and Floyd Wooley. Speakers at last night's meeting included Garland W. Powell, national Americanization officer, who urged larger participation of the Legion in District afalcs; and Paul McGahan, national executive committeeman. Resolutions of thanks for the welfare work_conducted during the past year by Charies Konen and William F. Frankiin of Costello Post were passed by the convention. Fisk, explaining the nominarion of Gen. Pershing for nationai corarmander. sald a move has been under for more than two months i secure the naming of the wartime comraander of the A. E. F. to “lead the bogs to France”_in 1927. He sald Cen. Pershing had permitted his name to be used contingent on the assurance ttat there would be no pro- longed opposition to his election. In case of strenuous opposition, Fisk sald, “Gen. Pershing would request that his name be withdrawn from con- sideration.
