He promised me—hut then I guess I'd better see Frank."

HOXSEY MAY ATTEMPT TO BEAT RECORD AGAIN Manbird Fears His Mark of 11, --474 Feet May Not Be Ac cepted as Official Arch HOXiey in all probability will ro after a new world's altitude record today. There is a slight question in the minds of members of the aviation com mittee as to the official acceptance by the Aero club of America and by simi lar clubs in Europe of Hoxsoy's rec ord of 11.474 feet made Monday. This is due to tho fact that the com mittee did not provide the aviator with a barograph containing a chart such as the Aero club of America has decreed shall be carried In all flights for alti tude. On his Monday's flight Honey car ried a barograph which showed the dis tance traveled by a series of squares representing 300 meters each. Reading of this instrument is difficult, but tho calculation can nevertheless be raaila positive. Tho Aero club barograph shows the various height! reached in figures on the chart, and Is therefore easier to be read. Roy Knabenshue, manager for the Wrights, an.l Hoxsey himself do not want to have the record questioned, BC to cinch the new record Hoxsey will soar Into the Icy clouds a thousand feet or more in excess of two miles to set a new mark. The local committee yesterday re celved the official sanction of the Los Angeles meet from tho Aero club of America.
