NEW YORK. May 2 (AP).--
A Federal judge ruled today
that the failure of Howard R,
Hughes, Elusive millionaire in
dustrialist, to appear personally
in an antitrust suit constituted
a default in the case.
The ruling could mean that
the Hughes Tool Co. may have

to $l35 million in damages.
Judge Charles M. Metzner of

Hughes failure to appear was
"a deliberate flouting Of an
order of this court" and con-
stituted a "willful, deliberate
default" in the case.
He said he will refer the case
to a special master, who will
hold hearings on the exact
amount of damages to be
awarded to the airline.

declared in court that it has
