The feature in most of the towns was the unusually heavy vote cast, and the narrow margin by which towns swung from one column to the other. ‘Sixteen Towns Swapped Positions.

Oct, 4.—The announce- | ment of Dr. Cook’s willingness to re— quest th> University of Copenhagen-to waive its claim to the first examina- tion of the records of his journey to| the north pole causes keen disappoint- ment, and whatever may be the reply | of the university to the explorer's re- quest, present indications ~ do not foreshadow a graceful acquiescence on the part of the general public. The rector of the university in the course of an interview today said: “No such request has vet been re- ceiver from Dr. Coolk and it is impos- sible to say what attitude the univer— sity will take towards the suggestion that American and other sclentific hodies shall first review the explorer's ta. The action of the university 11 depend upen the reason Dr. Cook ives.” The rector considered that very strong influcuces . must have been brought to bear upon Dr. Cook W or- der to cause him to prefer such a| request. 1 The general ~ihlic is inchned to be annoyed at the suggestion tiat for- | eign scientific bodies shall first sce the | records. The people consider the | promise to give fhe university here the first opportunity of passing upon the records as nothing but justice in view | | of the honors heaped upon the explor. | from George HeWitt Myers, a gradvate er by both the university and the Dan- | ish public and their ungrudging sup. por: and belief m e exploits. { Baltimore, Md., Oct. 4—Just before | he left his hotel for the theater | whers he delivered a lecture !nmght.; Dr Cook was shown the Associated | Prass despatch from Copenhagen rela tive to his reported intention to r quest the university of that city to| waive ‘its claim to the first examina tion of his records. After reading the | despatch carefully, he sald: “A wrong impression has been re- | ceived in Trnmark as to just what I said in Washington last night, and this, 100, seems not to have been per- fectly understood in this country.

Evening Flight Prevented by Accident. Wright staried on his flight up the Hudson at 9.56 a. m.. and finished ex- actly at 10.29.33. He had intended to imiprove upon his achlevement of the reorning by making a longer and more hazardous flight at sunset, but the crippling of his motor just as he was about to start on the evening attempt dashed his hopes as well as the thousands who had assemi Governor's Island and along the water front to cheer him on. 5 The Morning Flight. The morning flight was made under conditions only moderately favorable: When Wright reached Governor's Isi- and shortly after 8 o'clock the wind was blowing about ten miles an hour, while an overcast sky added to the un- certainty of the weather. In the face oi_these conditions Wright called for volyni s among the newspaper men assembled to tow his machine to the starting rail, while he superintended laying the starting way in the direction ‘of the wind. Everything being ready, his. mechanician gavé the propeller a twist which started the motor and amid the clatter of the machine's ex- huust, which sounded like musketry fire, Wrizht climbed to his seat in his agroplane. With the same imperturba- ble demeanor which has characterized all of his flights, the aviator pulled his cap over his eyes and reached for the starting lever. In a2 moment the ma- chine was off. Soared Past Old Castle William. With the planes tilted slightly to one side, the machine slowly ascended into the air, rising to a helght of barely fwenty feet, as it swooped In a semi- circle towards the water's edge.

Over the warships of four grest powers he passed, his progress marked by cheers from the sailors of his own country and those of England, Ger= many, France and Italy. The blue- jackets lined the rails of their ships and gazed in wonderment at the littie craft above them. perhaps thinking vaguely that its kind might some day render their own monster fighting ma= chines obsolete. Ten Miles in Thirteen Minutes. When the air vessel reached the British® cruiser * Argyll, anchored - an eighth of a mile above Grant's tomb, Wright brought his direction rudders into play and, describing an easy and graceful” curve, started on his return Journey down the river. The wind con- Qitions, which had bothered him on the journey up, were now more favorablé and it was here that the speed possi- bilities of the machine wers demon- strated. While the flight of ten. mlle# upstream took nearly twenty mis the return flight was made in little more than thirteen minutes; or at & rate of approximately forty-two miles an hour. Settled With the E: of a Bird. Nearing the harbor entrance again, he was confronted with the same ar- chitectural conditions which = had caused him to vary his altitude on t! way up. Again he lowered himself and when he reached the open wats of the bay he was flying barely sixty feet above the surface. Thence on- ward he gradually lessened the al tude. Past Governor's Island the ma+ chine flew, an eighth of a mile ove: the bay, then veering sharply aroun Wright headed swiftly for the landing place, on which he settled with the eace of a bird amid the enthusiastio plandits of soldiers and cfvilians. Cylinder Héad Blew Loose. Wright was preparing for they see- ond flight when the accident which marred a day of achievement oceurred. Due to excessive explosive pressure, & evlinder head blew loose and shot through the canvas of the upper plane, ripping a large hole. As soon as the damage was ascertained Wright order- ed the machine wheeled back to the shed. Such repairs as were needed to put this fiyer into commission again, he said, would take several days and he could not stop In New York that length of time. “Anything Can Happen in the Air® He was asked if the aceldent today could have happened while the machine was up In the air. “Yes, it could have” he said; ‘anything can happen in the air” He was confident, how- ever, that even in such a perilous cof tingency he could have brought his biplane to earth on an even keel and without harm to himself. Curtiss Machine Shipped to St. Louis. The Curtiss machine, which it had Dbeen hoped would also’ fiy today, was taken apart this morning and shipped to St. Louis. Curtiss was summoned to Hammondsport, N. Y., early today by Important business, but he will leave for St. Louls tomorrow to give hibition flights there in connection with the centennial celebration which is to be held next week.
