» HACKER NOT MAN. "WHO SLEW LINGLE Siate Policeman Says Geisking Not Among Trio London, Ky., Sept.” 15 (P —Carl Losey, Indiana state policeman, early today said none of the three hijack- ers held in jail here is Ted Geisking, “sought on several Indiana charges and as a-guspect in the slaying of | Alfred (Jake) Lingle, Chicago Tri-| bune reporter. Losey was accompanied here by | Geopge Williams, representing the | stafe's gttorney of Cook county, Illi- nois. They arrived late last night from Indianapolis, where they had been seeking Geisking for several weeks. The Indiana paliceman said he believed a fourth hijacker, who es- caped when the trio was captured by federal and Laurel county au- thorities Saturday, might have been Geisking. - The fourth man was be- lieved wounded when he escaped, the officers having fired severdl shots at him. Losey- identified two of the men Yeld at Dave Hodges and John Gau- ley, warited in connection with auto- mobile banditry in Indiana and for jail delivery at Rising Sun,Ind. He was unable to iderttify the third man held. ENTERPRISE VINS SECOND GUP RACE BY SAFE MARGIN (Continued From Tirst Page) the second leg; it was expected that they would sail along mugh = faster and then at the next turn they would have the wind behind thefn for a quick run home. There was no ques- tion today of their finishing within the five and one half hour limit al- lowed for the race. Conditions were almost ideal for racing today, with a ten knot breeze, & clear sky and fine visibility. = This was in direct contrast to the first race on Saturday when. fog shrouded the course from starting buoy to fnish line. Despite the changed conditions the fleet accompanying the boats toddy was much smaller than the great armada that sailed out of Newport Saturday morning ang surged along through the mists in the wake of the racing yachts. Two blimps also cruised above the yachts. ‘The race today was ovef a triangu- lar course as comparedto the straight windward and “leeward course that was sailed the first day. The series goes to the first:yacht to win four races and it today's race may be taken as a fair indication of which way the wind is blowing, more than that will not be necessary 4o decide possession of the old silver cup America has held for 73 years. Start Under Tow ‘Both the Shamrock V and the En- terprise headed out of the harbor for the starting line under tow. The challenger was first to get under way, under tow of & former :ub- marine chaser. / Only a small portion of the main fleet which followed the racing yachts Saturday fell in behind them today as they left for the starting line, nine miles southeast of Bren- ton reef. Many of the palatial yachts which remained at _ their moorings got up anchor in time to reach the starting line some 15 miles out at sea when the starting signal was sounded. The weather was not all that could be hoped for: The breeze was only four and a quarter miles an hour inside the har- bor and from southwest by west and probably had not much greater ve- iocity outside. The sky was over- cast and a suggestion of rain was in the air but visibility was much im- proved over Saturday. There was the usual early activity in the yachting fleet anchored in the Newport harbor. Colors were made and soon launches were busily ferry- ing arriving guests from the club landing to the yachts. The excursion fieet edged its way through the fog! and awaited developments. Makes Weather Observation Harold Vanderbilt, skipper of the Enterprise, came on.deck of his steam yacht Vara to make a weather observation, then quickly set about to make his selection of sails. The fog of heavy pea soup va- riety was so thick that the cup sloops could not be observed from shore as they lay at their mooring in Brenton cove. The sailormen of the two sloops, however, went about making ready for the day's sport. Decks were sanded, while sails were selected to_fit the light airs that were in .prospect. Old sea dogs that know the fickle | fancies of Block Island Sound wea- ther at first figured that it would probably clgar before noon. A few of the pessimistic fishermen #aid the fog at this time of year might hold on for a couple of days, | until a smart west wind blew it out to sea. Offshore, the doleful fog horns sounded their warning cry while the fog worked inshore car- ried alohg the vagrant airs. The sea was smooth. Sir Thomas AXr Sir Thomas was early astir on the steam yacht Erin, and cast his eye | toward his fifth hope for the Amer- ica's cup. “‘Someone had better whistle for a bit of wind,” said the Irish bar- onet, “if we are to have a race to- day.” Charles E. Nicholson, designer of the Shamrock V, told the Associated Press this morning that the chal- lenger probably would undergo no changes in trim. It was reported that lead might éither be added or taken from the keel of the green yacht. “She was probably have to go as #he is, win or lose,” said Mr. Nichol- Thomas Lipton and his skip- per, Captain Heard, talked over pos- | sible changes with Mr. Nicholson yesterday and what might be done to improve the sloop's speed. If the Shamrock should lose today, the subject of changes will doubtlessly be agaih considered. Nine o'clock found- the fog still thick in the harbor and -offshore | bilt * held- on the | heading for the marker that showed where, the race was to be sailed, the wind was still light. The fleet’ of pleasure craft was noticeably’ decreased today from the rumber that were out to witness En- terprise’s winning race Saturday. Most of ‘those at'the course today were navy and coast guard vessels, with a few large, seagoing private vachts. .The almost countless small power boats” that scurried in and out among the large vessels Saturday were missing -today. ‘Wind Freshens ‘The breeze was freshening and the fog was clearing away at 10 o'clock (E. 8. T.) today, 40 minutes before the scheduled start of the second race for the America's cup. Both 'the racing yachts were at the starting line at that hour. Neither had shaken out her sails. The freShening breeze gave hope for an exciting race. The course signal was hoisted on the committee tub at 10:25. / The breeze was from the south- west and the committee gave the boats a ten mile beat windward for the first leg of the 30 mile triangular couree. ; The warning signal was. given at 10:30, indicating the race would start in ten minutes.® Both racing craft began shaking out their sails when the course sig- nal was hoisted. The' course signalled was ten miles west southwest. ten miles southeast by east and a final ten miles north by east. Commodore Vanderbfit, at the wheel of Enterprise, hit the starting line just as the starting whistle sounded. Shamrock was a bit tardy, apparently fearful of crossing too soon. Noted For Good Starts ‘Vanderbilt was noted in the elim- ination trials for hitting the mark right on' the dot, a nicety of han- dling that frequently gave him a large advantage from the start. The American defender led the Shamrock V across the line and ap- peared to be footing - much faster. Shamrock, however, was in the weather berth, a technical advan- tage. 8 A nice sailing breeze of about ten miles an hefir wis blowing as the iwo yachts started over the 30-mile triangular course. Both craft were wearing mainsails, ‘stay sails, jibs and large jib topsails. Enterprise, sailing obeser to the wind, was draw- ing away from the Shamrock in the first few minutes 'oi the race. The American defender was so far ahead that sajling men estimated Vander- bilt might cross- the bow of the Shamrock to.the weather berth if he. so desired. Shamrock, ualess Skipper Ernest Heard could shake her up, appeared dooméd to take the wake of the Enterprise. as she - did. throughout the first-race Sdturday, which the American boat won with a margin of twd minutes, 52 seconds. Van- derbilt crossed Shamrock’'s bow, at 10:53. s His maneuver left the green hulled challenger about five lengths in the Enterprise's lee. Takes Starhoard Tack As soon as the American skipper had his boat well to weather of the Shamrock he went back on the starboard tack. 3 Vanderbilt’s new position was of great strategic mdvantage. Being to weather, his boat would be first to feel the breeze and also-act as an obstruction to the wind reaching the Shamrock’s sails at its full velocity. Both boats were surging along with white water showing under the bows. though Shamrock “appeared to be footing it along in good shape, it was impossible to see how the chal- lenger could work through Enter- prise’s lead. All Skipper Vanderbilt had to do to check §hamrock was to bear down | on her and blanket her with his own towering spread of sail. Such a maneuver undoubtedly would al- most empty the wind from the Brit- ish boat's sails. Both boats went over on the port tack at 11:05. Heard Changes Plans Skipper Heard. using every means to gain the advantage, stayed on the port tack but a moment and then went over to starboard. ‘Vanderbilt, taking ne chances, quickly followed. The maneuyer only gained ground for the Enterprise. Her crew ap- pearing - faster-in -stays on both changes. Heard appeared to be playing the American defender's game, as the Enterprise is noted for her ability to-spin about like 2 dancer, scarcely losing way. Shamrock went -back on the pert tack again at 11:18. The Enterprise quickly followed. Vanderbilt was playing the game for all there was in it and taking no chance of the challenger slipping away from him and regaining that precious advan- tage the Enterprise won at the start. With the turning marker almost in striking distance at 11:45 an | hour-and five minutes after the start, Shamrock went board tack. Enterprise followed the maneuver closely and Captain Heard quickly went back to-the: port tack again. gain SMamrock appeared to have gained nothing by the shifts, in fact the advantage was with Enterprise, due to her crew's quicker sail hand- ling. over on the star- Heads for Marker Shortly - after noon ~ Shamrock tackled again, btt Skipper Vanders starboard tack, a third of the race was run appar- ently satisfied that he had the situ- |ation well in hand. Rounding the 10-mile mark at 12:21:30, an hour and 40 minutes from the start, Enterprise boomed away on the long reach for the hext marker. She was sliding easily through the gentle swell which was running. Shamrock, almost a mile behind now, seemed to be having harder going through the swells plunging her nose sluggishly into them. Both vachts broke out ballooners as they rounded the turn and picked up speed. Barring an accident Enterprise seemed to have victory assured. American Increases Lead Enterprise had increased her lead over Shamrock to approximately two imiles at 1 o'clock and was footing along at a:good pace. In addition to the ballooners both boats were carrying staysails in thel P s e s ST N e : T R P “Master Forger” Sought In Extortion. Attempts Chicago, Sept. 15 (UP)—Aaron Moshiek, known to police as a master: forger, was'sought today in connection with an unsuccess- ful attempt to extort $10,000 from Oscar De Priest, Negro congress- man. Two men, Solly Lason, a truck driver, and Jultus J. Link, minor politician” in De Priest's district, were charged with taking part in the plot, and Assistant State’'s At- torney C.

Lason was arrested after he re- moved a decoy package which the congressman left in a shanty, as directed in threatening letters sent to him and signed “‘Brooklyn Rats.” D EEE——— e — reach:for the second marker, Vanderbilt Mystery Newport, R. I, Sept. 15 (UP)— In a greasy, cramped boat tuggipg at apchor in the -harbor here lives the enigma of the America’s cup races, Harold Stirling Vanderbilt, skipper of Enterprise and the richest bachelor in the United States. All the dodrs of Newport's most exclusive homes are eager to swing | wide for this man who is the lion of the hour because of his masterly sailing that deféated Shamrock in the first race of)the Series. Invita- tions to- balls and dinner-parties are floating on thé sea where he con- temptuously tossed them. | Nearby is his luxurious power vacht on which he could live, if he desired. But Vanderbilt prefers to dwell on a tender, sleeping in a nar- row bunk and eating hastity pre- pared food because that tender is near Enterprise, a silver sliver of a craft around which his dreams are wrapped. i Do Not Understand Him His intimate associates, and they are few, confess they do not under- stand -him. At the helm of a yacht, with the wind in his teeth, they say, he is a savage, hard-hitting sailor, |growling commiands to his crew of |lean . Notwegians and crowding the sails past the danger point. On the | rare occasions when he comes ashore |he is a shy, 46-year-old millionaire who likes to play bridge and is will- ‘mg to give anyone a lift in his au- | tomobile. He is the most obscure of the Vanderbilts, except when yachting and ‘contract’ bridge are mentioned. | |He is an expert at both. Tennis is his only hobby and it | was' Vanderbilt' Who, befriended an ugknown voungster out of California named ‘Johnny - Doeg and brought him ‘along. in ‘the game until two days ago when that same Doeg won America’s most coveted tennis title, the national singles championship. Friends say it i§ typical of Vander- bilt that'he should have selectsd Doeg, for picking men is one of his talents. There is,’ for instance, the | afterguard of Enterprise, as expert a group of navigators as can be found in the western hemisphere. Uses Disreputable Costume When Enterprise slides out to sea | Vanderbilt is erect at the helm, throwing all his 200 pounds of brawn into the task of keeping the course that these men have set for |him. His hair is rumpled in the iwmd. he wears dingy gray trousers |and a shirt open at the throat. Some- times a ragged sweater that a street | urchin would scorn is thrown across | his_shoulderd! ’ He hates dancing, but likes to go |to small, quiet dinner parties where |he can find a hand of bridge. His in- |timates say he frequently gets. up and leaves in the middle of a party |it it becomes too noisy. He refuses |to give interviews and confines his |statements about the America’s cup races to a couple ofvcrisp sentences that reveal nothing. His nickname is |“Mike,” but he himself doee not | know where it originated. For four mgnths he had not touched a cigarette bccause he be- |lieves 2 person _ should train as strenuously for yacht racing as for | football. So grim is this business to {him that he has not even bothered |to greet Sir Thomas Lipton. The Norwegians in his crew are aroused at all hours of the night for what Vanderbilt calls “fire drill.” A |blast on a whistle tumbles them out of their bunks and in the darkness | bulks_the figure _of their ekipper, | summoning them to practice for a |quick start. He borrowed that idea from King George when he was at Cowes in 1920. There the crew of his ‘majesty's yacht Britannia had frequent unexpected calls to duty, and Vanderbilt saw the value of it. |In additien, his Norweglans do a daily dog trot to keep in condition and the food they eat is prepared by expert dieticians. Once Interested in Business Some who_know him say Vander- bilt has interest in buliness. There |have been times when he tried to {3ork in his office, going down at 10 |a. m.™and leaving at 3 p. m., but |even as he sat -in his swivel chair the mind of this great grandson of Commiodore ~ Vanderbilt wandered off to the green curl of the surf-line and pale sails bellying to the breeze. So he gave up business. Sentiment here is all against Van- | derbilt in this race. At evening there | floats through the narrow street that twist up from the sea the strains of “Tipperary” and “Wearin' of the Green.” ' They are played in honor of Sir Thomas Lipton, ~the matchless sportsman who reared an empire of commerce from Cornwall to Cathay. Almost everyone hopes Shamrock will win. Bt when bets are made, judgment ‘triumphs _over sentiment | and people remember the grimlipped | Vanderbilt at the helm of Enter- prise. And that is why you can get three to one odds against the green- hulled sloop that represents Sir Thomas' last attempt to win a cup | Whose value in actual silver is P A S e L U Freight Train Without Pilot for Five Miles Canon City Col.,, Sept. 15 (P— A speeding - freight train was pilotless for nearly five miles near here last night after the en- ineer, .C.

Y s Miss Carstairs Bored Newport, R.
