NAVY IS SEARCHING
FOR SWISS PILOTS
Vessels Ordered to Keep
Watch, Although Scant Hope
of Rescue Left.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August c2-With only
the barest hope that the young Swiss
flyers. Oscar Kaesar and Kurt Luescher,
survived their westward transatlan tic
flight attempt, crews Of naval and
merchant vessels today scanned the
North Atlantic for trace of them.
Admiral Charles F. Hughes, chief OF
naval operations, has ordered naval YES
sells to maintain a sharp watch for the
Swiss airpen and has requested
merchant ships to do the same. At
Roosevelt Field, aviators chung to q
faint hope that the white mononla ne
"Jungschweitzerland" might yet appear
on the eastern horizon, but the hope
grew DINNER with each passing hour.
The youthful flyers, one 81 and the
other 20 years old, were last seen flying
westward over village in the Azores
on Monday afternoon. They should
have reached American shores early
Tuesday. The 500 gallons of gasoline
with which they left Lisbon. bound for
New York. could not have kept them in
the air much later than that.
Their Farman monoplane was not
equipped with pontoons and could not
remain afioat II 1t came down at sea.
Possibility that the aviators might sur
vived a forced descent was based on the
rubber suits and rubber boat which they
carried.
It was also considered barely possible
that they might have landed on tiny
island in the Azores or in some lonely
spot in Newfoundland or along the
Canadian coast. Maj. Ramon Franco OF
Spain and three companions were res
cued after drifting about for seven days.
and the crew of the Bremen, the only
ones to successfully negotiate an east
lowest crossing. landed on desolate
Greenly Island

MYSTERIOUS TRIP
!. OF COSTE DELAYED
French Ace Declines to Tell
Whether He Will Cross
Atlantic or Pacific.

LIE BOURGET, August % (P)-
Dieudonne Coste, famous French
flyer, had his plane removed from lie
Bourget to the Villacoublay Air Field
today. This move was generally in
terpreted here as meaning indefinite
postponement Of any attempt to
make q record-night to America.
| BY the Associated Press.
LIE BOURGET, France, August %
Capt. Dieudonne Coste, Frances pre-
mier aviator, announced this morning
he would take of on his mysterious
long distance jourfley-to Toxic to race
the Zeppelin across the Pacific or to
New YorE-as soon as weather condi-
tons permitted.
This information was accepted gen.
orally as explaining his failure to APP
pear at the field this morning for a
scheduled take of at dawn.
He made q three hour test fight this
morning in his plane, the Question
Mark, and at the end Of the flight an
nounced that the wireless apparatus
which had not functioned properly yes
terday, was now working at It's best.
Silent on Plans.
The French flyer was silent today as
to his exact plans but II he has aban-
doned his project, announced yesterday,
of a fight to Toxic, it is believed due to
the pressure OF friends. 1t is understood
that they have been pointing out 1t
might seem ungraciouS to DR.. Hugo
Eckener and to GerL.any to inaugurate
a race around the world and might be
interpreted as an attempt of the French
flyer to detract from the honors which
Or. Eckener Is receiving for his great
dirigible fight.
It was thought, therefore. that this
might induce Coste not to pursue the
Zeppelin and to head instead for New
York. perhaps meeting the dirigible on
American soil.
AS he jumped out of the cockpit after
tOday'S trial fight, Coste said:
L don't know myself what will do"
He refused 70 make and further dec
laration conc cyning his plans.
Prepare for Take-Off.
All preparations were being made at
lie Bourget this afternoon for the take
of tomorrow, but this may have to be
postponed again, inasmuch as weather
conditions were reported unfavorable.
There was a westerly wind, which is
not considered good for take-off with
a heavily loaded plane. Coste Is keep
ing In close touch with the weather
bureau. but 1t was not known whether
the information he was getting con-
cerned conditions in eastern Europe or
over the Atlantic.
The noted flyer told friends yesterday
just before a final tuning up Of his
plane that he would fly eastward in an
attempt to catch the Zeppelin. Later
he strengthened this declaration by
making a bet with friend for 10 bot
ties of champagne that he would over
take the big ship before 1t reached
Lakehurst. He proposed to accomplish
this by a non stop fight to Vladivostok,
then q hurried trip to Toxic and two
stop attempt to reach the United States
by way of the Hawaiian Islands.
Final plans. whether for an eastward
or westward flight. will probably be de-
termined by weather conditions at the
hour Of the start.
