WRIGHT CLAIMS HIS
AIRSHIP IS BEST
Inventor of Aeroplane Is secre-
tive About Mechanism Until
Contract Is Explained.


Dayton. Ohio June i. Wilbur r.
Wright. of aeroplane fame. In an inter-
view with the Associated Press, said:
You may say that our experiments
at Manteo, N. c., We're very successful
and that we, are ready to enter the
government tests as soon as one clause
OF our contract with the government is
Interpreted for us. There is some dis
crepancy between two of the provisions
tanned and we will not exhibit our
aeroplane nor demonstrate It's ability
until the clause is clarified. We have
eight or nine machines practically
ready for work now.
Il Will say for the aeroplane we have
perfected that it is practicable II is
the only machine perfected as yet in
our opinion, capable of doing the work
expected of it. The European airships
and aeroplanes are much too large
and unwieldy for practical purposes
Our machine is about 40 feet by I and
is driven by a propeller placed di-
rectly amidships The machine will
easily sail 125 miles without alighting,
carrying fuel and two men with ease.
1t Is started easily, running along on Il
inonorail until sufficient impetus is Sc
cured to permit it to rise unaided.
More than this we cannot say at this
time"
Orville Wright has gone to Europe In
the interests OF the Wright invention.
Wilbur Wright refused to say where
he had gone or give any information
