PARIS, May 19, 7.30 P. M. (United Press).—Pre- mier Lloyd George this evening received a message stating the British transatlantic aviator, Harry Hawker, had flown Pe over Waterford, eighty-three miles southwest of Dublin, at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The menage said thatthe aviator was headed towed England. Waterford lies twelve miles inland from the west coast of Ireland. LONDON, May 19 (Associated Press).—The manager of the Sop- with Airplane Company received a report at 5 o'clock this aftemoon that Aviator Harry G. Hawker was 150 miles off Ireland at 4 P. M. to- day. Earlier, American navy officers here received an unoflicial report that Hawker had been sighted off the Irish coast. The Air Ministry announced shortly after 5 oclock that it had no confirmation of the report that Hawker was off Ireland at 4 P. M. Naval and military lookouts on the Irish coast reported at 2 P. M. that they ha seen no sign of Hawker, _A map shop in Fleet Street this afternoon was showing a chart pur- porting to give Hawker’s position at 4.30 A. M. at about longitude 32, jatitude 52, There was no confirmation of this, bowever, from any source, ST, JOHN'S, N. F., May. 19.—A report was received here at noon today (10.30 A, M. New Yorw time) that Harry G. Hawker’s Sopwith biplane had been sighted off the Irish coast. There was great rejoicing by his assoc’ates here, and Frederick P. Raynham, his rival, whose trans- atlantic start came to grief here yesterday, immediately cabled congratu-» lations, The report, relayed from Halifax, came in a daily routine bi. {o the Colonial Secretary. Before the receipt of the report that Hawker was near the end of bis epoch-making voyage navigators and aviators sought the weather reports received from vessels in mid-ocean to learn under waat conditions’ the daring British pilot and his navigator, Grieve, were making their non- stop dash to beat the Yankee air sailors, Every indication pointed to favorable observation conditions, with high visibility from a clear sky and 2 full moon only four days old. At- mospheric conditions improved. during the night, according to Be, received here. For the first 200 miles quartering headwinds prevailed, but fee the next thousand miles beyond a light west wind obtained. Except for a report of unimportant low pressure over Ireland, all messages received indicated generally improving weather conditions, 106-MILE RATE FORECAST It was calculated by navigators here that ‘Hawker and Grieve would meet the sun about 4.23 o'clock this morning, approximately at 21 de- grees west longitude.
