September 8-9—Rangoon Hongkong via Hanol, 1,600, to Rumor oundless Washington, Sept. 10 (UP)—Ru- mors of the sighting of the Old Glory emanating from Canada were bellev- ed here today to have arisen from the fact that the U. S. state depart- ment, in asking Canadian ald in a lookout for her, mentioned that the plane had last been heard of 400 miles off Newfoundland. This statement (apropos of the steamer California’s message of sighting her previous to her final S O 8.) was thou to have been misconstrued into a statement that she had been more recently sighted. The department here asked the American consul at St. John's and the American legation at Ottawa to request Canadian offi to radio Canadian ships in the north Atlantie to keep a lookout. A newspaper in New York, interested in the flight, had requested that the Canadian government aid the search with cruisers, Government officials said they be- lieevd the rumor had arisen from a confusion of the messages which had been sent out after Old Glory had out its § O §. calls, including irnings to all ships at sea to be on the lookout for the ing plane.
