C0STE UNDECIDED
 OVER DESTINATION
French Flier Ruln0red to Have
 Abandoned Race Idea
WAITS BETTER WEATHER
Takes Plane Up For Test-Radio Now Working Properly - Bets Friend He Can Beat Zeppclin- Plans Still Indefinite.

Le Bourget, France, Aug. 32 LP)- Captain Dieudonne Coste, Frances premier aviator, announced this morning he would take off on his mysterious long distance journey to Tokyo to race the Zeppelin across the Pacific, or to New York-as soon as weather conditions permit ted.
 This information was accepted generally as explaining his failure to appear at the field this morning for scheduled takeoff at dawn on his trip.
 Takes Plane on Test
 He made a three hour test flight this morning in his plane, the Question Mark, and at the end of the flight announced that the wire- less apparatus, which had not func- toned properly yesterday, was now working at it's best.
 The French flier continued mys- terious as to his exact plans, but if he has abandoned his announced project of a flight to Tokyo, it is be- lieved due to the pressure of friends. It is understood they have been pointing out it might seem ungraci- ous to Dr. Hugo Eckener, to Ger mans and to Germany, to inaugur- ate race around the world and might be interpreted as an attempt of the French flier to detract from the honors which Dr. Eckener is receiving for his great dirigiblc flight.
 It was thought therefore that th;s might induce Coste not to pursue the Zeppelin and to head instead for New York, perhaps meeting the dir igible on American soil.
 Says Plans Indefinite
 As he jumped out of the cockpit after today's trial flight. Coste said:
 T don't know myself what I will do."
 He refused to make any further declarations concerning his plans.
 All preparations were being made at Le Bourget this afternoon for the taf1eoff tomorrow, but this may have to be postponed again inas- much as weather conditions were re- ported unfavorable. There was a wind which is not consid cred good for takeoff with a heavily loaded plane. Coste is keep ng in close touch with the weather bureau, but it was not known

 resumption this morning of Lieut..
 Al Williams flying tests to prove the l planes fitness for the Schneider Cup
 races.
 The parts, described by Williams
 companion and manager, Lieut.. Commander J. R. Poppen, as a su- perdeck which would add to the load capacity and also to the safety factor of the plane, arrived today from Philadelphia and mechanics began the installation at once. Ear Her in the week when the proposed pontoon change was first announced. Commander Poppen had expected the mechanics to spend two days making the changes.
 With the climax to the misfor- tunes which have dogged his at- tempts to get his tiny racer into th,. air being reached yesterday on his third futile attempt of the day, when he was unconscious for five minutes in the cockpit of the craft travelling nearly 100 miles an hour. Lieutenant Williams is ready to try again as soon as the new work $ completed.
 Williams was forced to abandon efforts yesterday when the terrific speed at which he was travelling forced the pure air from the small compartment, which he practically has to lie down in to man the shin, and gases from the 24 cylinder mo- tor forced their way in and over came him.
 The navy's air speed ace said that when he felt dizziness overcoming him, he almost automatically cut the switches on the motor, and the little torpedo like seaplane came to a halt, and he was aided from the cockpit.
 Williams first effort yesterday to take the plane into the air for speed test which is to decide the navy department on whether or not to send it to England to compete in the international races, was frus- trated when the backwash of d pleasure craft tossed his plane so badly on it's tiny pontoons he was forced to stop the motor. The sec ond time a large ferry, entering the river from the bay forced him to again cut off his motor ano veer to avoid collision.
 Lieut.. Commander John Poppen, spokesman for Williams. said a de- | Vice to force oxygen into the cockpit | of the ship would be installed be- lore further attempts were made.

 TO CONCLUDE CONFERENCE
Premier Jaspar Suggests Further In formal Talks When All Delegates Agree That Committees and Groups Are Getting Nowhere Briand Appears Optimistic Despite Failures to Come to Agreement.

The Hague. Aug. 22 LP-The dele gates to the separations conference still stubbornly trying to reach some sort of agreement. today turned tc private conversations after deciding there was no longer any use trying to settle their differences in commit tee, or in groups.
 Premier Jaspar of Belgium. at a meeting of the six powers this morn Ing, lntervened when he saw the dis cusslon was making no progress whatever. He proposed that the delegates adjourn for the present, leaving the rest of the work of the conference to be done in private con- versations. This was readily agreed to, since all Of the other delegates had been forced to come to the same conclusion.
 Three Objects Sought
 These conversations, which will probably go on this afternoon and tomorrow morning, will have three principal objects:
 G-Agreement of the other creditors with the British as to the distribution of annunities.
 CD - Agreement between the French, Belgians and Germans as to the date for final liberation of the Rhineland from military occupation.

 Briand Optimistic
 During today's meeting, Premier Rriand of France showed some op- timism, saying: This conference is not dead. We must do all we can to save it.'
