TWO DIRIGIBLES
ARE UNSUCCESSFUL
Daring Work of Wright Is
Direct Challenge to
Aviator Curtiss.
New York, Sept. 29.—Wilbur Wright
circled the great statue of liberty
at the entrance o* New York in ills
aeroplane today while In the upper
part of the city two huge dirigible
balloons tailed inglorious^- in their
(asks. This, the first day of flight
of the Hutlson-Fulcon celebration, was
n victory for the heavier-tban-alr nta-
chine. "
Two Dirigibles in Trouble.
Doth Wright and Curtiss soared suc-
cessfully from the aerodrome on Gov-
ernor's island in their motor
jidled by planes. Doth great dirigi-
bles, manned respectively by Captain
Thomas Baldwin and George L. Tom-
linson and entered in the Now York
World's $10,000 New York-to-Albany
race, were forced to descend because
of mechanical difficulties, before they
were well under wav.
Wright Makes Three Flights.
Wilbur Wright made three sensa-
tional flights and Curtiss made one
brlpf. though successful test spin of
00 seconds duration. Baldwin with his
dirigible landed in the Hudson river
less than an hour after the start, whtl ?
Tomlinson, a.ter remaining In the air
from 11:36 a. m. until 1:30 p. nt.. came
down near White Plains. N. Y.. 22
miles front his starting place.
Neither of the dirigible pilots was
injured nor was either craft seriously
damaged.
Corliss was the first to leave the
rarih and at a time when dawn hud
hardly broken. He pas-.-ed Hit* night
on Governor's island, at '7 o'clock rase
hui only for a brief flight.
Wright Sails Over the Bay.
Two hours later Wright made his
first ascent encircling Governor's Isl-
and and remaining in the air seven
minutes. After an hour’s rest Wright
again went aloft, this time remaining
up for six minutes and thirty seconds,
attaining a speed estimated at 50 miles
an hour and with a glorious sweep
out over the hay, passing entirely
around the great emblem of Liberty.
Wright, made a third flight at 5:20
this afternoon before a big crowd.

Explorers’ Club
Orders Inquiry
Into Cook Trip
Board Also Calls Off Ban-
quet Tliat Had Been
Planned for Doctor.
New York, Sept. 29. —By a vote of 5
to 3 the directors of the Explorers
club ordered an inquiry tonight into
T)r. Cook's assertion that he ascended
Mount McKinley in 1908.
Commander Peary is president of
the Explorers club and Dr. Cook, a
former president. It is said that in
deciding to look up the matter of Dr.
Cook's ascent of Mount McKinley the
club decided to call off a banquet
which had been planned in Dr. Cook's
honor.
New York. Sept. 29. —The fo> icy
dispatch was received by the v •
dated Press tonight from Hurry hi:
pro-i nt y, ihe New Haven -hunter who at-
lived at St. Johns, N. F., ye»t<iday
by the schooner Jennie on his way
here:
“Stephonville Crossing, N. F. Kept.
29 —So many questions are being ,i^k-
ed of me by different papers that !
decided to make the following state
raeut through the Associated Pres-
My reasons for not going back :n
Etah after Dr, Cook's things, was tii
Ihe engines of tiie Jcanie, one ot li
smallest boats that ever went to th
Arctic, were not working satlafnctorll
and we were depending partly on sail
which .later we had to do entirely.
“There was ..no reason why the
Jeanle could not have gone back but
not knowing that Dr. Cook's things
were of such importance as they have
since turned out to be 1 did not. re-,
turn. In addition I had promised the
Eskimo* \vho were with me after
musk oxen jn Ellsmere Land, certain
thing* which I a.xMMad wn •••bo drip
coining ror nie our1 tnF*y* were m»i-
aboard the Jeanie and I did'not want
to return and disappoint them. An-
other reason was that I wanted to
prolong my hunting trip which I was
aide to do by not going back but by
cutting across Smith Sound from the
North Star Bay and following the edge
of the ice south.
“I do not. believe that either Dr
Cook or Commander Peary, if placed
In my position, would have done any
differently than 1 did nor would they
having started south for civilization
have turned bade. I had never seen
Dr. Cook until 1 met him in the Arc-
tic. He told me he had been to the'
North Pole and I was pledged not to
reveal this fact to Commander Peary
hut 1 could say that he had gone fur-
ther north than Peary in IflOfi.
Peary Knew Nothing of Cook.
"Commander Peary to my know!
edge, knew absolutely nothing' about
what had been left w'tli me by Dr. |
Cook except that I mentioned lustra-:
mentis, clothes and furs and also" a *
narwhal horn. Dr. Cook's belongings ,
left in my charge were placed in boxes j
which were nailed tip. Then I saw |
the Eskimos cover them with' rocks.
“No one could have been kinder to
me or shown me mor consideration
than Commander Peary did while I
was on the Roosevelt and he said he;
would be very glad to have me r* ;
main aboard and return with him In- j
stead of joining the Jeanie.
