WASHINGTON, June 23.-The Wright
brothers to-day asked for and received
an extension OF thirty days time for the
completion of the airship tests and the
delivery OF their %aeroplane to the Gov
eminent. This does not mean that there
will be that much delay in making the
final endurance and speed trials, which
may be held on Friday, although to-day
II appears to be probable that the final
tests will not take place before Saturday
and possibly not until next week. Under
the terms Of the original contract the de-
livery was to, have been made by June
2s. 1t is possible for the Wrights to
finish setting up their machine and COM
pleting the test by the 2sth. but as there
Is always danger OF accident. they asked
for an extension just to be on the safe
side.
The two a~viators went to Fort Myer
early this morning and worked all day
under a cruel sun. The engine was in
stalled in the machine and probably
will be tested tomorrow. The baggage
smashers between Dayton and Wash
ington handled the case in which the en-
CINE was packed pretty roughly. Blu did
10. really hurt it. The rough handling
has its importance In that 1t brought a
glimmer OF humor from Wilbur Wright
to-day when the matter was being dis
cussed. He said that it reminded him
of the washerwoman who. when she tore
a shirt completely in two, was SO up
right in her business methods that she
charged for only piece. SO with the
engine it didn't cost any more. IT
wasn't such a very funny Jest, but it was
notable as coming from Wilbur Wright,
who doesn't do that sort Of thing much.
1t is likely there will be some pre-
made. These will be merely for the pur-
pose of trying out the machine and seeing
that everything y all right. Prepare
tons are about complete Tor the trials.
The Signal Corps people were testing
a cylindrical captive balloon to-day
which will be used to mark the course in
the ten mile fight.
The following Is the statement made
public to-day by Gen. Allen, chief signal
The Wright brothers have made APP
plication for an extension OF time for the
completion OF their contract. They state
that they do not think they will need to
exceed ten days in order TO carry out all
Of its provisions, but in order to avoid
the probable necessity OF asking for a
further extension they have requested an
extension OF thirty days.
This request has been approved oy the
Secretary Of War with the understanding
that they proceed with all possible ex'
petition and that there shall be no further
delay except by causes YER which they
have no control

WOODRUFF THINKS ALOUD.
Head Of Fusion City Ticket Should Really
he n Republican.

Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff Of the
Republican State committee still thinks
that the head OF the fusion city ticket
should be a Republican. Il think he
said Yesterday, that the forces opposed
to Tammany would have no difficulty in
uniting on a good Republican candidate,
and that would be only fair. because the
Republican party will furnish the bulk
OF the anti Tammany votes. l think also
that the fusion candidate for Mayor should
he a Manhattan Republican. because
Manhattan pays the largest share OF the
city's taxes. The two other placeA on the
city ticket should in my opinion be given
to the other b%oroughe."
Mr.. Woodruff said he had no candidate
for Mayor and did not look for much
political activity until September.
