Storms in the vicinity OF Phila-

thought by officials at Boiling
Field to have prevented the com

the metropolis to Washington.
Scheduled to hop off from New
York at o'clock. Washington

last night had neither been seen
nor heard of by the Anacostia fly
ing station Its arrival is expected
today.
1t was planned to stop of in
Philadelphia to deliver a portion
of the freight to the John Wana-
maker store. Rd the supposition is
that the bad weather interfered
with the recontinuation of the
flight.
Two hundred pounds Of perfume
and other toilet preparations COM
pose the cargo of the machine
The stuff is consigned to the Palais
Royal, from the Vivabeau Com
pany, of New York, and was to

The machine is owned by the

a carrying capacity of 1000 pounds
