LITTLE HOPE FOR LOST BALLOON.

sweden or in Russia.


STUTTGART. Nov. 1.-The managers OF
the international balloon race said this
afternoon that they had little hope OF
the safety Of the Dusseldorf H., with
Pilot John Watts of st. Louis, which
has not been heard from since the con-
testants started last Monday. Inquiries
at all Baltic and North Sea stations and
of ships, including German warships,
which have been instructed to keep a
sharp lookout for the missing balloon,
brought replies that nothing had been
seen OF 1t.
1t is feared that the balloon has been
lost in the Baltic, although there Is
some hope that 1t may have landed in
the mountains of Sweden or the in
terror OF Russia
The Aero Club of America cabled the
German club yesterday requesting tina:
all possible steps be taken to find Watts.
The club replied by cable as follows:
"All possible steps taken Probably
