Roma Waits for Hop
BIZ United Press

By United Press
HARTFORD, Conn, Sept. 49,
Overcast skies an da threat of rain
seemed likely to hold the Bellanca
sesquiplane Roma at Brainard
Field today, despite the announced
intention of its pilots to fly to Old
Orchard, Me. from where a start
will be made on the flight to Rome.
Count Cesare Sabelli, Peter Bon
ELI, Roger o. Williams and DR.. L.
NJ. Piculli were expected within a
short while.
Interest in the ng-deferred
flight was heightened today by
rumors that Williams had displaced
the italian nobleman as commander
of the ship. Sabelli's recent legal
differences with the physician and
hacker of the flight were believed
me cause of his replacement.
