would get an answer within two weeks.

handicapped by the attitude of Messrs.
Brady and Cochran, who were reticent
as to their future intentions. The pro-

to remain out of the undertaking or
go through with it. AS soon as he
hears definitely from them he said he
would be in a position to make known
his plans.

be satisfactory. He further promised
that excellent training quarters would
be provided for the two principals, and
