V.HUENEFELD
HAS new ship
Plan For Flight Back
To Germany Denied
BY Junkers Crew

ALBANY, N. Y, May 22.-R-
Baron Gunther Won Huenfeld, hacker
Of the first successful westward
flight Gro the north Atlantic, has
purchased the Junkers Plane Europa,
xister ship Of the Bremen, but what
flights he plans in the new plane
were a matter Of conjecture today.
One report was that the. baron,
Captain Koehl and Major Fitzmaurice
would attempt a return flight 20
Europe, having the new plane
shipped to New York from Germany.
Baron Won Huenefeld, however, de-
mics that such are his plans.
He said it was possible that the
plane would be shipped to Ireland
and that he and Koehl would fly it
thence to Germany, but that the
plans were indefinite. The baron, an
aviation enthusiast, said he had also
placed orders for several other
planes.
The fliers, before leaving for Mon
treal sale they had planned to at
tempt the eastward passage in the
Bremen but with the Bremen put out
Of commission, in an attempt TO
bring her out from Greenly Island
they indicated there was little likeii-
hood of an attempt at a return flight.
