Rochester, N. X. girl declared,
"The ship is raring to go and the
two pilots are raring to go, but
the weather doesn't look favorable
for flight right now"
Levine said that lit looks like
a two or three day wait" He
he had made arrange
ments with Lieut.. Henry B. Clark
at Roosevelt Field for the Columbia
to be taken there for the hop-off
when the time was decided upon,
1t is believed that Miss Boil will
hop to Old Orchard, Me-, and take off
from there on the flight to Rome.
Miss Boil appeared at the flying
field today wearing her famous
diamonds. which gained her inter-
national renown as Queen of the
Diamonds"
She said that before she departed
for Europe by air she would sec
that her precious stones were on

SOUTHAMPTON. England, June
9.-With a parting verbal shot at
Sir, William Joynson-Hicks, British
home secretary, Harry Kendall
Thaw sailed for New York today
an involuntary passenger on the
Cunard liner Aquitania. Sir VIII
liam had issued an order through
the immigration authorities refusing
Thaw permission to land upon Eng.
lish soil.
II don't like your home secrc-
tary," Thaw told English newspa-
per reporters on the deck OF the
liner. His face doesn't please me.
No. I cannot say that I have any
fraternal feelings toward him at
ALL"
By the time the Aquitania began
drawing out of her slip at noon the
spectacular American tourist had
regained some OF his composure.
He stood at the rail smiling broadly
and apparently unconcerned over
the disastrous termination OF his
foreign vacation.

explained. IT am going to rush

Thaw had been confident Of q

night when his solicitors in London
sent him a telegram saying:
The Home Office absolutely re-
fuses to allow you to land. The
original orders stands"
Thaw's cheerfulness gave way to
detection and then he became
furious. He spent much OF the
evening issuing statements de-
the present British govern

succeeds in ousting the Conserve
