TOKIO HOP WAITS FAVORABLE WIND North Wind Continues to De- lay Projected Pacific Flight. By the Associated Press. ! SEATTLE, Wash., May 27.—With the wind still in the North it appeared un- likely that Nathan C. Browne, NEW' ‘York aviator, would get away today on his projected non-stop flight to Tokio. | He wants a south wind to facilitate a take-off with the heavy load of fuel Decessitated for the 55 to 60 hour trip. Delayed several days by adverse ‘weather over the Pacific and by the time taken to build an elevated ramp, Browne said he was anxlous to start the long flight, but that he did not want to hazard wrecking the “Lone Star” by taking off under adverse conditions. ‘With a $30,000 prize offer expiring June 1, aviation men said Browne must be in the air by Sunday after- noon at the latest to arrive in Japan in time to be eligibie for the prize. He plans a fight of upward of 55 hours. Asked about aids he would use to keep awake, Browne said he pIannedl to shave himself during the hop. He has done it frequently while on long | flights, he said, and it makes him feel fresher, as well as helping to keep him from going to sleep. BROMLEY PLANS HOP.

Will Rogers BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.—They ought to take that Jimmy Walker in- vestigation out on the road and charge admis- sion. Jimmy was in great form. Those Repub- licans are al- ways going to find out some- thing on old Tammany, and the more they find out about ‘em, the less they prove. They get everything on ‘em but the evidence. There is only one conclusion to draw—Tammany is either the slickest thing back there, or the Republicans are the dumbest. SPECIAL NOTY VACA'nomm—m DAV 3 FER & STORAGE CO., lony-distance mov.
