Refuses to Predict.

Their selection was approved by Con-
ners, but it is to Murphy they really owe
their membership in the state committee,
and though Leader McCooey when seen
last night refused to make any predic-
ton as 10 what the Brooklyn delegation
would do on Thursday, il was pretty well
understood that they would vote as a
unit for Murphy's candidate and against
Corners.
The state chairman intimated last night
that though he had not seen them he
was inclined TO think they would support
him.
But I'll tell YOU this said he, pol
tics isn't like business. When you see
business man. and he says YES, the
deal is closed. but with a politician
well, you've got to keep right on seem
him.
Corners was inclined to fight shy of
any reference to his Palm Beach inter-
view OF last week, in which he threat
ened to reveal some Tammany methods
Of selling nominations.

League. Murphy's Friend

For the Democratic League the state
chairman wasn't overenthusiastic. 1t was
simply another method of Tammanyizing
the state a league to help Murphy get
control of the state, and the upstate men
couldn't see that, he said.
.'I'll stick, though; stick even if there S
split he asserted; but / want party
harmony
from outside districts to meet the chair
man on his return from Florida, Corners
had seen none of the local committeeman
last night None OF the Kings county
men was on hand to greet the state leader
and their absence was commented on.
Il haven't seen any of Them, the chair
man replied to a question. about Mccooey
and the Kings committeeman, but
will see them all before | leave town.
Van Valkenburgh of Greene, Ryan of
Norwich. Sweet of Warren. Mayor Fuhr-

Of counting their votes with him on
Thursday.
Six of the eight members OF the Brook

Wright Criticises the French.

Mr.. Wright was apparently not much
pleased with the French as a sporting
nation, and said it was probably true
that they would promote French meet
TO win another cup rather than send
aviators to this country to win back the
Gordon Bennett cup, won by Curtss. He
said:
1T is characteristic of the race When
they are defeated in anything-take auto
mobile races, for instance-they do not
come back next time with an attempt to
regain the lost cup. They organize new
meet and get new cup, for which they
compete on their own grounds We do
not intend to try to stop any International
meet
Referring to the flights made at Los
Angeles with machines Invested of pat
ents claimed by the Wrights, Orville
said:
so will an automobile go short way
without any hand upon the steering
wheel. but it will not go far
Flight With Rudder Tied.
It was claimed, however, by Newell
Curtiss' lawyer who was here yesterday,
that number of trial flights had been
made by Curtiss at Hammondsport with
the rudder of his machine tied to prove
that it was not necessary to use the rud-
der in conjunction with the wing tips in
flying. He also said that the Curtiss fac
tory was running and had never been
shut down, and that it was now running
full time.
The French aviators who are interested
in the outcome of the Wright-Curtiss liti-
cation have decided to send a lawyer to
this country to look after the interests of
the French in the pending suits.
Paulhan, who is making round of ex-
hibitioDs in this country, arrived in HOus-
ton, Tex, Saturday and made flight of
fifteen minutes in "a twenty-five-mile
wind. This is the hardest wind in which
an aeropiane has ever been flown in this
country.

Foreigners Apprehensive.

The foreign aviators have been afraid
that if they entered for the American
meet they would be sued here. The
International Federation, OF which the
Aero Club of America is member, in
quired of Courtland Field Bishop, the
president of the club, whether the
Wrights intended to prosecute the for
eign aviators who wanted to enter the
American International meet. Mr.. Bishop
said while he was here that he had been
unable to get any definite statement
from the Wrights, and that he did not
think any one else could
The matter was put up to Orville Wright
by letter and telegram, and he was told
that if he and his brother intended to
sue the foreigners who appeared at the
meet 1t was not necessary for them to
say anything. The European aviators
were scared off already. and they would
continue scared off. But it was pointed
out that if the Wright Company did not
intend to .compicate the matter with
suits the only thing to do was to issue
an authoritative statement to that eff
feet The result was the interview re-
ferred to in which OrvilIe said he was
not out to break up the meet Just
what this means and how the European
aviators will take it is still an open ques-
ton.

NOT TO HARM MEET
0rviIle Wright's Announce
ment Regarding Aviators.
NOT Definite ASSURANCE
Foreigners Apprehensive of Suits for
Infringement of Patents if
They Come to This Country.

OrvilIe Wright has announced, N an
interview at Dayton, Ohio, that the
Wright brothers do not intend to inter-
fere with the International aviation meet
that is to be held in this country. He
does not say what the Aero Club OF
America has asked him to say, namely,
that the Wright Company will not enter
any suits against the European entrants
at the meet. IL: merely says that he
ard his brother are not out to break
up the meet.
One of the most. serious difficulties all
along has been the fear on the part of
foreign aviators that in case they partici-
pated in the American meet they would
be sued by the Wrights for infringement
of patents Nearly all of the foreign
aviators have been sued by the French
syndicate controlling the Wright patents
in France. The syndicate waited till the
aviatorS were all assembled at the French
aeronautical salon last year and then
served processes on all of the exhibitors
except the Noisins, charging them with
infringement of patents.
