GALVESTON, July I3.-JFi-Avia-
tlon officers al Fort Crockett. the
United States government flying field
here felt little concern over failure
to sight Captain Emilio Carranza.
Mexican aviator, who took off from
Long Island, N. ", last night for n
nonstop flight to Mexico City.
Captain :. j. ldzorek, commandant
Of Fort Crockett, said the probability
was that Captain Carranza had flown
a compass course from Long Island
as he said he would when he took
off.
If Captain Carranza is flying a
straight course to Mexico City it is
not likely that he would be sighted
IN this section" Captain Idzorek said.
Captain Carranza said he was go
ing 20 lily compass course to Mexico
City and if ne did that he would not,
at any rate, pass over Galveston. He
also figured on making the flight in
~ hours, and his plane had suf-
ficient gasoline TO keep him In the
air for from 80 10 32 hours"
Captain IdZorek and other army Of
ficers believed the Mexican flier'H
compass course would carry him
across little settled portions OF the
United States and east of New Or
leans, the only large city on the Gulf
of Mexico near his straight line of
flight
III Captain Emilio Carranza, Mex
ican goodwill aviator, has no ill
luck on his attempted New York to
Mexico City flight, he should pass
over Point Isabel between 4 and >
o'clock this afternoon, Ii IL esti-
mated. Paul Cotrell Of the Point
Isabel Development Co., has made
preparations for a sharp lookout
there for the plane and Is to re-
port Immediately TO The Herald and
The Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 1S.-(Pl-No word
came back TO the Long Island flying
fields today from Captain Emilio
Carranza who slipped away quietly
last evening on a nonstop flight TO
his home in Mexico City.
After the first few storm marked
hours the watchers hardly expected
him 10 return but they we're some
what surprised when seventeen hours
passed without a report Of his being
sighted along his 2.40O mile route.
They pointed out however, the inten-
tion OF the MeXica ngood witl flier
to follow compass course which may
have carried him away from most
cities.
The young aviator's father, Sc
bastian Carranza, was the most an
Nious NJ those AT the Mexican consul
late here. The elder CarranZa had
great confidence in his sons ability
i but waited impatiently for some word
OF his flight. None had come 10 him
I'D 10 noon today.
Heading southwark towards "A city
which eagerly awaited him as it,
favorite son, Carranza, presumably
was we'll on his way today on his
2,4O0-mile nonstop flight.
The Captain arrived IN the United
States nearly a month ago on an at
! tempted nonstop flight from the
Mexican capital to Washington in re-
| turn for Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh's flight 20 that country. Cap
tain Carranza, however, was forced
down in North Carolina.
His take-off from Roosevelt field
at 7:1S daylight last night was made
between thunder showers that had
