PN-10NO. Z ARRIVES
AT COLON, SCORING
TECHNICAL SUCCESS
Naval officers Say Break in
Trip Does Not Minimize
Its Aviation Value.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
Proving that modern naval sea
planes can be moved quickly from
Hampton Roads to the Panama Canal.
Lieut.. Comdr. II. T. Bartlett and the
three other intrepid members of the
crew of the PN-10 No. have ac-
complished the main objective Of their
hazardous fight.
They arrived at Colon, Canal Zone,
late yesterday, completing their 1850
mile flight over the vast reaches of
water in the face of unexpected motor
fabrication difficulties. The plane S
failure to make the trip without stop
ping may have robbed the venture of
a little Of it's glamour, but did not
diminish its value from a technical
standpoint.
As 1t is, the log of the flight con-
tains plenty of romantic appeal. TAX
ing off at Norfolk shortly before dusk
Tuesday, with heavy burdens of fuel,
Comdr Bartlett's plane and it's com
panion, the PN-10 No. l, headed
south on a practical test of the new
machine, which was intended to sur
pass the world distance record for
their class established by the late
Commander John Rodgers on his near
ly disastrous flight from the Pacific
Coast to Hawaii last year.
Oil Consumption High.
Soon it was found that the lubricat.
ing system of the motors was not
standing the strain. resulting in a
greater consumption of oil than had
been counted on. This difficulty
brought Comdr. Bartlett down on the
Isle of Pines, but the No. l plane
continued for nearly 800 miles farther
into the Caribbean until break in
an oil feed pipe so complicated its
troubles that a forced landing at sea
was necessary. There. it was lost
for more than IA hours, until the
cruiser Cincinnati, one of the guard
ships which had been stationed at
intervals of $50 miles or more along
the route, picked 1t up.
Meanwhile. Comdr. Bartlett obtained
a supply of oil and gasoline at Nuevo
Corona and proceeded to Cape Francis.
on the western end of the Isle of
Pines. to await more adequate sup
plies hurried to him by the cruiser
Raleigh. Receiving these, he took off
at 5:55 am. yesterday and landed at
Colon, S25 miles away, at 5:28 pm.
Radio Work Exceptional.
Everything functioned well from
Norfolk to Panama" he reported,
except that lubrieating oil consump-
tion was too high"
He described the operation of the
radio equipment as exceptional"
His average speed on the second leg
of the flight was 1876 knots.
This matter of fact report evoked
warmer words at the Navy Depart
ment, where praise of the eight flyers
was general and Admiral Edward w.
Eberle. chief of naval operate was
much gratified that the men showed
so much nerve in desiring to continue
the flight after having gone down
once"
Lieut.. 3. J. Connell. commander of
the PN.10 No. /, will be unable to use
his plane again for some time. One
of his motors must be replaced, and
Admiral Eberle has ordered the cargo
carrier Vega to take him one from
the Philadelphia naval aircraft fac
tory at Guantanamo, where it is due
TO arrive December 3.

AUGUSTA, Me-, November 27.--
Arthur r. Gould, Republican nominee
for the United States Senate, stood

Gould, upon whose election next

Hale voiced belief in the integrity of
Mr.. Gould and predicted his election.
Brewster Continues Attack.
But Gov. Ralph o. Brewster, who
in an open letter to Maine Republicans
Thursday night repudiated Gould, re-
neWed his attacks upon his party's g
successful candidate in the primary.
He charged that 'in all the welter
of personal abuse there had been no
denial that the law was dellberately
and repeatedly violated by friends of
the successful nominee"
Brewster's letter had charged 1t
was a matter of general knowledge
that considerable sums in excess of
the legal allowance had been spent
to insure Gould's triumph and bluntly
contended the victor was in the posi-.
ton of a man receiving stolen goods.
Brewster testified before Secretary
Ball that of his own knowledge he
did not know of zone cent spent by
Mr.. Gould, or with his knowledge and
consent, beyond the limit of the law"
Klan Leader Acts.
The charges had been preferred by
Rev. A. F. Leigh, a Methodist minister
Of Randolph and a leader in the Ku
klux Klan.
Leigh testified that although he had
preferred the charges he was without
direct knowledge of any violation of
the law. He was referred to by
