MYSTERIOUS PLANE
 FLYING WESTWA ARD
Attempt May Be Made by Army to Go to
 Hawaii

Washington, June 17 Rl-A Pa citic coast to Hawaii flight is being considered by the army and a flight now in progress by Lieutenants Lester Maitland and A. r. Hegen- berger of Wilbur Wright field at Dayton was said today to be in preparation for the trans-Pacitic effort.
 Dayton, O., June IT R-Flight from Wilbur Wright field here yes- terday of Lieutenants Lester Malt land and A. F. Hegenburg was for an unannounced destination, field attaches said today, and possibly has Hawaii for the goal. The flight is awaiting approval of Major General Mason NJ. Patrick. chief of the army air service, it was said at the field.
 The triple motored Fokker plane in which the flyers left here is especially equipped for .ong distance flying. Every possible bit of space in the fuselage has been converted in- to gasoline storage space and other alterations have been made by the Wilbur Wright Field force, working secretly for the last several weeks. The field has surrounded the aC- tivitieS with the greatest secrecy and nothing unusual attended the de- parture of the plane yesterday inas- much as scores of planes come and go at the field every day. Lieutenant Maitland unofficially holds the army speed record in fly ing, having travelled PSI miles an hour in test over Wilbur Wright field some time ago. He was born in Wisconsin 29 years ago. But Hegen-
 burg, native of Massachusetts. is lS2 years old.
 Although official announcements
 were withheld, it was believed that l the tiiers have set out for the Pacific
 coast, there to make final test be-
 fore attempting to hop to Hawaii. Muskogee, Okla. June 17 P$-- | Lieutenant Lester Maitland, army air
 race pilot, and Lieutenant A. F. | Hegenburg, who arrived at Hatbox
 field here yesterday from Dayton, O.. today denied any intention of enter
 ing a flight to Hawaii.
 They declared they were making q transcontinental test of their triple
 motors Fokker monoplane in line
 with program outlined by the army with a view to adapting the ships to carry troops.
 Their plane is loaded with sand | bags equivalent to the weight of 30 1 men.
 Washington, June II P.--The war
 department has not ''as yet given its
 approval to any long distance flights
 by army aviators. Major General
 Mason NJ. Patrick, chief of the air | corps, said today.
 He described the unannounced l flight of Lieutenants Maitland and l Hegenburg from Wright field as a l test for the tri-motored plane, but
 said he could not say where the plane would land on the west coast
 or whether it might hop off for
 Hawaii,
 The general declined even to say whether a flight to Hawaii was un- der consideration. Other air corps of 1 ficers revealed, however, that a
 plane had been groomed at Wright
 field which was capable of . long flight.
