Search for Capt. James
Dropped in Connecticut
Southern New England Efforts
to Locate British Filler
Are Futile
Special Corresnondenc

CpeCld4 Correspondence
WlNSTED, Conn, June 7.-Convnced
that Captain Mansell B. James, the
British aviator who vanished q week
ago Thursday while attempting flight
from the Berkshires to Mineola, Long
Island, or Atlantic City, is not in Con-
necticut, the Southern New England
Telephone Company has abandoned its
search for the British "ace," according
to an announcement o-day. j. R. Muir
dock, manager of the Torrington ex-
change, who has conducted an ener-
getic hunt for the lost f1ier, is conf
dent that Captain James attempted to
make Atlantic City or some other point
on the New Jersey coast from this
state.
At least two persons, one named
Wede, in Bethany, saw Captain James's
machine just south and west of the
Bethany Hotel near Mount Sanford
early Thursday afternoon, May 90 1t
was travelling in the direction of
Bridgeport. Captain James began to
climb at Hancock, according to his OBJ
servers, and at Mount Sanford had at
tanned such an altitude that it was said
he could have volplaned or coasted
across Long Island Sound if his supply
of gas was almost exhausted
Captain James, in the opinion of Off
GERS of the Aero Club of America, fell
into the ocean between the lower coast
of Long Island and New Jersey and
probably persisted, said Mr. Murdoch.
