THINKS WRIGHT CLAIMS

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK. May 2S-"Every Euro

states in the science and practice of
aviation through the action of the
Wright brothers in rigidlv protecting
their aeroplane patents and thereby re-
tarding the progress of airship building
in the country"
This is the opinion OF Hayden Sands
the amateur American aviator whose re-
cent performance in his Antoinette mono
planes In Egypt and Germany attracted
the attention OF the aeronautic world.
Sands is here for a brief visit. In an In
terview to-day he said:
1T is too bad that this question Of
the Wright patent claims cannot he set
tied at once so that American inventors,
as well as foreign aviators. may demon
strate their ability in this country. The
'Wrights are heroes in Europe because of
their wonderful early conouests OF the
air. but since their first flights tremen-
dous improvements have been made in
the machines and their aeroplane Is now
generally regarded abroad as far be-
hind such flyers as the Farman biplane
and the Antoinette and other well-known
monoplanes.
The attitude of the ,:rights has en-
bitter foreign aviators and It is doubtful
if any prominent drivers will come over
for the international meet licensed by the
wrights."
Sands favors the monoplane type of
flyer. He says they are more stable.
