"CHOPPY' OCEAN
HALTS SEA FLIGHT
Too Rough for Start, Admiral
Jackson Wires. Navy
Department.

& High winds today, again prevented
the naval seaplane NC-4 from leav-
ing Ponta Delgada for Lisbon on the
second leg of her transatlantic flight.
The Navy Department this morning
received the following message from
Admiral Jackson at Ponta Delgada:
"NC-4 will not leave today. Seas
too rough for start"
p Commander :. H. Towers, in charge
of the NC fight. has been granted
authority to proceed from the Azores
to Plymouth on the destroyer Stock
ton. He will be accompanied by all
members of the crews of the NC-1 and
NC-3. except Lieut.. Commander R. A.
Lavender, Lieut. ]. s.. Sadenwater and
BoatSwain l.. R.. Moore. The two COM
mfssioned officers have been ordered
by Commander. Towers to return to
Washington and report to the bureau
coed to New York, in charge of parts
of the NC-3.
The fact that the accounts and per-
sonal effects of the crews of all three
planes were left on the Aroostook,
which is now en- route to Plymouth.
is proof that Commander Towers and
his associates were confident the three
planes would complete the journey to
England.
Hope in Tomorrow's Weather.
The weather forecast for the Azores
district, cabled to the Navy Depart
ment today. held out promise that
conditions might be favorable tomor-
row for continuation of the fight, as
the blow from the southwest was
moving northeastward. The forecast
follows:
wind thirty miles south-southwest;
cloudy; visibility good: sea rather
rough; continuing strong southwest
winds and cloudy sky Thursday. Dis
turbance continues it's eastward or
northeastward course, and may re-
move it's influence from this district
tonight"
The department also received today
a cable message via Lisbon that had
taken three days in transmission. 1t
said nothing had been heard of the
NC-3. This incident was promptly
called to the attention Of Rear Ad-
miral Plunkett at Lisbon and he was
urged to make every effort to get
point on a satisfactory basis in order

SURE PRESIDENT
W|LLNOT RUN AGAIN
Friends and Advisers Say,
Though, 1t Is Not Because
ofThird-Term Idea.
VIEWS STATED IN LETTER
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Friends and advisers of President
Wilson who are in a position to know
what he has said on the subject of a
third term are positive that he will
not be candidate to succeed himself
in 1920. But that is his personal
preference. and it is not necessarily
based on any opposition to the third
term idea itself.
If the people had before them the
question of limiting the tenure of Of
flee, Mr.. Wilson would favor two
terms as the limit to be placed by
constitutional amendment. But in the
absence of any constitutional limita-
ton as at present he believes the po-
litical parties are free to nominate
a President for a third term and the
people are free to accept or reject his
candidacy at the polls.
Mr.. Wilson's position on the subject
OF terms for the presidency is fully
described in confidential letter writ
ten in February. 1913. to A. Mitchell
Palmer. now Attorney General, who
was chairman of the democratic eau
Gus in the House of Representatives
at the time. Publication of the letter
has never been authorized, though one
newspaper did publish some extracts
from 1t just before the campaign of
1916 opened
Presidents Letter to Mr.. Palmer.
In view of the fact that the Palmer
letter. however, is pointed to today as
a comprehensive statement of the
PRESIDENTS position, it is pertinent to
reproduce the full text.
MY dear Palmer:
Thank you warmly for your letter
hPnv
isticaliy considerable Of you to Gas. ask
my views with regard to the joint
resolution which has just come over
from the House with regard to the
presidential term. I have not hither-
to said anything about this question
was any evidence that the public was
very much interested in it. I must
have been mistaken in this else the
Senate would hardly have acted so
promptly upon 1t. 1t is a matter
duct Of the great Office upon the
duties Of which am about to enter.
feel, therefore, that in the present
circumstances should not be acting
consistently with. my ideals with re-
and plain speaking that ought to
exist between public servants and the
public whom they serve II I did not
speak about it without reserve Of any
hiHu dHQ without tnOuSht OF the per-
sonal embarrassment
The question is simply this. Shall
our Presidents be free SO far as the
law Is concerned to seek second
term OF four years. or shall they be
limited by q constitutional amendment
to single term Of four years or to
single term extended to six years.
+ can approach the question from q
perfectly impersonal point of view
because I shall most carefully abide
by the judgment of my party and the
public as to whether I shall be
Candidate for the presidency in 1916
absolutely pledge myself to resort
to nothing but public opinion to decide
that question. The President ought
to be absolutely deprived of every
other menas cd deciding it. He can
be. I shall use to the utmost every
proper influence within my recah4 to
see that he is before the term to
which I have been elected is out. That
side of the matter need disturb no
one.
