Oct. II TO discuss the reply Of tha
New York Yacht club TO it's inquiry
as 10 the conditions under which a
challenge for the Americas cup would
be considered. After Il long debate
in which it was emphasized that the
New York club had not given clear
reply to the questions whether the
length OF the competing vessels could
be fixed AT seventy feet, il was agreed
to await settlement of this point.
! William Olson. one of the prime mov-
ers In the movement TO challenge for
the cup, said: IL and all other mem,
| bers of the Royal Swedish Yacht club
are greatly surprised and hurt at the
sighting manner in which the New
| York club replied to our communica-
ton and the failure of that club to an
swer In plain language Sweden's civil
| inquiry as TO whether II was willing
to race with seventy foot boats. We
mean business and we are not triiing.
We hope that the two millions Of
Swedes In America will back us up in
our enterprise" After the meeting Of
the club, Rear Admiral Haigg, com
modore OF the organization. said I:
perhaps we did not put the question
plainly to the New York Yacht club,
but we are anxious to know whether
challenger for the cup should he n
seventy foot. or II defender be ninety
feet long, or whether the New York
Yacht club would allow handicap
corresponding with this difference
From the deed OF gift and the resou-
tons referred to we would infer that
no handicap will be allowed. but we
must have a positive and unequivocal
reply on this point before we can go
further. We mean business. but we
must know definitely the size of the
boat in order 10 get the required sum
guaranteed before making the formal
challenge"
