The high naval officers Of the
investigating board were confronted
today with three possible theories
for the blast. First. that it was
caused by a defective gun; second,
that card board tags were carelessly

that it was due to carelessness of
the gun crew in effort to establish
a new rapid fire target record.

at Cleveland between party lead
ers over the management Of the

ITALY, ENGLAND
 ARE OUT OF RACE
Will Not Take Part in Baltimore
 Aerial Contests

Baltimore, Sept. 26.--With the plane to which Great Britain pinned her hopes damaged during a trial flight at Felixstone recently, and the Italian entries withdrawn, the flying club of Baltimore announced the the Schneider cup seaplane race, scheduled October 24 and 25 at Bay Shore Park, near here will not be held.
 Inability to complete repairs to her special plane in time for the race was given as the reason for England's definite withdrawal. Why the Italians withdrew is not known.
 Except during the war this classic has been an annual event since 1913, and the best planes of Italy, England, and the United States had been entered for this years race.
 The meet will not be abandoned,
