WRIGHTS. TO FIGHT HARD.
Aviators Will Resist Attempts to
Infringe on Patent Rights.

Wilbur Wright, Who arrived in New
York yesterday. is quoted in an inter
view as saying that he and his brother
intended to fight for the patent rights on
their machine to the bitter end. He said
that it was not true they ever had stated
that they would allow any other make of
machine to fly in any meet in this coun-
try without interference.
Regarding the proposal that had been
been advanced by William Page. attorney
for CORTLAND Field Bishop. that the gov
eminent should buy the Wright patent
and throw it open to the public, Mr.
Wright said that. while this course was
possible, it was not at all proba BILE. He
said he and his brother had made a
proposition of this sort to the government
some years ago, and were turned down.
AS to the attitude of the Wright Com
pany toward competing machines, he said
that they proposed to exact license
from any other machines that flew in
America and that IL this was paid for
they would allow the machine TO fly,
otherwise they would apply for an in
junction, and he did not doubt it would
be granted.
