COOLIDGE PREPARES
TO LEAVE SAPELO
Indications Are That Party
Will Start H0meWard Trip
This Afternoon.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG,

SAPELO ISLAND, Off the Georgia
Coast, January lit appears as if
President Coolidge is going to bring his
Midwinter vacation in the sea islands
to close this afternoon without having
enjoyed the thrills of killing his first
deer.
He is going to be disappointed, too.
After the manner in which he fumbled
his several chances when he was deer
hunting several days ago, he has mani
tested genuine desire to demonstrate
better Workmanship the next chance
he has at these tleet-fOoted animals. But
he hasn't had another chance. 1t didn't
present itself yesterday morning while
he was at the 60, 0,000-acre game preserve
of Howard E. Coffin, his host here. and
the plans for deer hunt at the north
end of Sapelo this morning were aban-
doned. With everything pointing to the
President taking his leave of this sec
ton and heading back for Washington
this afternoon, it looks doubtful if there
will be any more deer hunting.
Sleeps Later Than Usual.
It was not explained just why the
deer hunt planned for this morning fell
through. Mr.. Coolidge slept consider
ably later this morning than is his
habit That may have had something
to do with scratching the deer hunt
from the days program. The President
and Mrs. Coolidge remained up last
night with their hosts to see the new
year ushered in. and. it was past 8
o'clock when he arose.
TT uac prohahl one 0f the most in.
spring and enjoyable New Year eve
parties the President and his wife ever
experienced. Following a sumptuous
evening meal, featured by some of the
pheasants the President shot yesterday
afternoon, the party enjoyed, motion
pictures and music in the huge living
room of the Coffin home.
Sits for Portrait.
Following breakfast this morning the
President went for stroll. Upon his
return to the house he again sat for the
portrait Frank Salisbury, the English
painter, is making of him. Nothing has
been planned for the remainder of the
day, except the necessary preparations
for departure If he leaves this after
noon he will arrive in Washington to-
morrow afternoon. The President, how
ever. has not said definitely when he
will leave.
Mr. Coolidge performed exceedingly
we'll on his last shooting expedition yes
terday afternoon. On his way back
from the game preserve at FloydS Neck.
where he had spent Sunday night, the
President and members of his party
went hunting on Little Sapelo Island,
not far from here, and in less than two
hours he had bagged five pheasants,
which was the top score of his party.
Earlier in the day he was somewhat
cast down as result of hsi lack of sue
cess early in the morning while gun
ming for wild turkeys.

METROPOLITAN AIRPORT, Los
Angeles, January 1.-The Arny's tri-
motored Fokker endurance plane Ques-
ton Mark took the air at 1924 o'clock
this morning in an attempt, by means
of aerial refueling, to remain aloft un-
til its engines wear out.
The Army refueling plane, piloted
by Lieut.. Odas Moon preceded the Ques-
ton Mark into the air. Capt. Ira c..
Eaker was at the controls of the endur-
ance plane.
The refueling ship circled the field,
landed and again took the air at 1882
am.
Observers of the Army Air Service
pronounced flying conditions ideal
The huge plane was maueuVered
aloft without difficulty. The Question
Mark, upon which the War Department
had spent much effort preparing tor
the test. headed northward into 30
mile wind and climbed to All altitude
OF 5000 feet. At that elevation the
first refueling was begun.
The Question Mark will be refueled
in the air three times daily. Oil and
supplies also will be passed to it from
two other planes as the big machine
flies to and fro between Los Angeles
and San Diego.
The five flyers are Maj. Carl Spatz
flight commander; Lieuts Harry A.
Halvorson and Elwood r. Quesada, pi-
lots, and Staff Sergt. Roy W. Hooe, me-
chanic. They are prepared to live for
weeks in the air if the motors do not
fail them. Less than three whole days,
however, will shatter the world record
OF go hours minutes held by Belgian
airmen.
Before the flyers were awake today
several women were busy preparing an
oldfaShioned New Year dinner as well
as hearty breakfast. The food was
packed in special containers and slowed
away in the Question Marks aft COM
partment. Hot meals will be taken
aboard the plane twice daily when the
refueling ships carry gasoline and oil
up TO It,
The Army schedule calls for the first
daily refueling shortly after the take
OIL, another before noon and the third
between 3 and 4 pm. About two and
a half tons of supplies viii be loaded
daily
. Comfortable cots, spare clothing,
reading and writing material, medical
supplies and emergency equipment are
provided aboard the plane. The flyers
may carry on real air mail CORE
Spondence, for they will receive letters
three times day and may drop them
by pilot parachute every hour and
three quarters either at San Diego or
at Metropolitan Field here.

Windsor, May II RAThe con- fiict between authorities over their respective theories in the fatal shooting Of Walter Treadway Hunt ington, Harvard junior. grew in in- tensity today as, in the face of County Detective Edward J.

 The coroner himself, while de- claring he is still 'doubtful." indi- cated this noon in statements that he is more inclined to agree with Dr. Costello and Dr. Aaron T. Pratt, medical examiner for Windsor, who also adjudged the shooting . hemi- eide. than with Detective Hickey.
 Dr. Costello's position was strengthened, he said. by the mers fact that, on the admission of Htck- ey'a associate, the detective himself has not even now totally abandoned the theory of homicide.

 Dr. Costello points out that the youths right hand was clean and bore no traces of blood, while his left hand. both back and palm, was smeared with blood.
 Tt is impossible to believe that young Huntington reached with his left hand into his right hand pocket to take out handkerchief" the medical examiner said.
 The mere fact of the presence of so many handkerchiefs. more than ordinarily carried by one persons, is strange. Huntington was right hand cd and yet Mr. Hickey would have us believe that to commit suicide he used his left hand. for the bullet which killed him entered his left temple"
