Charge Is Made That Interna-

Was Mismanaged.
C0RTLANDT FIELD BISHOP
MAKES STATEMENT PUBLIC
Says Conditions We're Not
ideal, but Holds the Aero
Club Blameless.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-America 8
representatives at the meeting Of the
International Aeronautic Federation in
Paris, January 10. are to face a new
and unexpected protest. The Swiss
Aero club, according to communica-
tion received from the headquarters of
the federation, has filed formal pro-
loon race held Mt st. Louis in October
was not organized properly. The race
was won by Messrs. Hawley and Post
in the America II. II is understood
that the Swiss club has no fault TO find
with the race itself or with its results,
but oulv with the management of af
fairs IN st, Louis up to the time the
balloons left.
\ statement by Cortlandt Field Bish-
op regarding the matters under protest
is as follows:
Bishops Statement.
Conditions at ST. Louis were not
rs good as might have been desired but
! have no reason TO believe they were
not as good as possible. In spite of the
fact that two features were not salts
factory and served to handicap the
starting Of tho balloons, they were
started Just as promptly as when the
race was started in Zurich, Switzer-
land.
Both the handicaps at ST. Louis
were due TO conditions over which the
Aero club of st. Louis, which was in
charge. had no control. One was the
supply Of gas, which was sufficient. but
slow. This was due to the fact that the
gas works were at the time undergoing
general overhauling and were unable
10 meet the demand in the desired time.
1t took twelve hours to fill the balloons,
whereas, if the works had been in their
normal condition. two hours would have
been ample for the purpose.
inexperienced Employees.
"Another trouble was in the force of
men in charge of the field, the infla-
tion Of the balloons and the general
preparations for the flight. They were
militiamen and others employed for the
purpose. and while willing and faith
ful, had never had any experience in
ballooning. In 1907 we had the use of
selected men from the signal corps Of
the United States army and there was
neither hitch nor delay. Protests were
made afterward, however. against
United States troops being assigned TO
such duty, and President Roosevelt is
sued an order prohibiting it thereafter.
"The st. Louis Aero club has been
notified of the Swiss protest and asked
10 furnish data with which to meet it..
| have no doubt we will be able to
overthrow the protest. but it may result
in stricter regulations for the race here
