WATCH WEATHER FOR OCEAN FLIGHT Big Hop to Start When Things
 Are 'Just Right''

Roosevelt Field. N. T., Aug. 10 tP One of the most important figures in connection with the attempted transatlantic flight of Rene Fonck, French ace of aces, will be the weather man. For it is the weather man, his hand on the atmospheric pulse of the world, who will "give her the gun" when conditions are ideal for the giant Sikorsky plane to start.
 Beginning today the/ weather bureau at the Battery will receive reports twice daily from ships on the Atlantic. From these reports on velocity and direction of the wind, barometer readings, temperature and general conditions all along the proposed flight lane of the Sikorsky, Forecaster James H. Scarr and his associate, James H. Kimball, will determine the weather likely to be experienced for several days ahead. And when they decide that favora- ble conditions are probable they will give the word and the flight will begin.
 The plane is now practically con- pleted, and should be out of the hangar and ready for it's test flights by the end of this week.. according to advices from it's builder, Igor Sikorsky. With the first favorable day from that time on the official day for the hop off, it is impossible to say just when this will take place. It is hoped it will be about August 20.
 Lieutenant Allan Snody, U. S. N, Captain Homer Berry, formerly of the U. S. army and possibly a radio operator will be with Captain Fonck make up the transatlantic crew. The flight is to follow a 3,660 mile route, up the coast to Maine, past Newfoundland Banks, across to the southwest tip of Ireland, over south- ernmost England, to France at Cnerbourg, and to Le Bourget, the landing field outside Paris. It is hoped to make the flight in 36 hours.

IFERGUSON-MOODY
 FIGHT STILL ON
"Ma" Is Certified for Run-0f
 Primary August 28

Dallas, Texas, Aug. 10 R}-Certi-' iication of Governor Miriam A. Fer guson, as a candidate to optose At torney General Dan Moody in the run-off primary, August 2S, for the democratic gubernatorial nomination has created an atmosphere of un- certainty in party affairs pending definite announcement by the gov ernor as to her plans, members of the democratic state executive com mittee declare.
 Mrs. Ferguson's name was order cd certified with Moody's by the committee yesterday when she failed to submit formal withdrawal, as she previously announced she plan ned to do. AS second ranking can- didate in the field of five in the first primary, she was entitled to a place on the run-off ballot unless she filed a formal withdrawal.
 Without taking formal ackuowl- .edgment of the governors previous from the primary, thus making Moody the party nominee, executive committee members stated certifca- tion did not necessarily mean that she must continue candidate. Gov ernor Ferguson and her husband,
 James E. Ferguson, last night de- clined to comment.
 The committee certified Mrs. Fer guson and Moody's names after re- fusing to pass on a petition sub mitted by counsel for the governor alleging that Moody had received campaign contributions from two other candidates. Receipt of such Icontributions is forbidden by law, which specifies candidate accept ling funds from such source may have his name barred from the bal lot. The certifcation was ordered when the committee found that Moody lacked more than 1700 votes of having a majority in the five cornered July primary race.
 A debate on the petition followed between leaders of the Ferguson and Moody factions. the governors supporters charging other irregular ities while the attorney generals ad- herents claimed similar discrepan- cies.
 Following conference with friends, Moody announced he was prepared to start statewide cam paign. Before launching the cam paign, however, he indicated he would seek information from the governor as to the status of her proclamation calling 8 special ses- sion of the legislature for Septem-
 Der IS, and her accompanying an Inouncement that she would resign from office as soon as affairs of the special session were completed, probably by November 1.
