Tuesday that Robert T. Pace,

pledged to Vernoy will swing to him
on The second ballot

would talk of the situation Tuesday
but the meeting of the Police Board
next week is being eagerly awaited.

that FANS position was impregnable

that with perfect weather conditions
be will be able to resume the flights

over the machine while their parent

they had poured sand into the delicate

broken and new ones were substituted i.
Saturday evening the machine was to
have made a flight along the beach

disappointed, as Gray and his machine

the engine after working long enough
to get the machine off the ground had
refused to work and q rapid descent
was made to the hard beach. The
contact broke both front skids and put
the plane out of condition until We'd
