TANAPE, Aomori. Japan, Sep-1
- tember 15—Still defying the se
ries of misfortunes preventing
him from flying across the Pa
cific, Harold L. Bromley tonight
told a Rengo News Agency re
porter he would continue his ef
forts to span the ocean to Tacoma
by airplane.
Bromley said a broken gaso
line feed pipe was the decisive
factor in causing him to, turn
back and land here today, after
having flown several hundred
miles eastward in his attempted
nonstop dash to Tacoma, but
that “adverse elements,” includ
ing fog, contributed to the de
cision.
The break, Bromley said, was
noticed late Sunday off Kam
chatka Peninsula, when gasoline
began spraying him, chafing his
face and inflaming his eyes.
Bromley said he and his naviga
tor, Harold Gatty, alternated at
the controls throughout the
night, suffering great discom
fort.
Soon after the landing near here at
« o’clock this morning (1 p.m., Sunday,
Pacific standard time) a physician
treated the flyers' eyes, but found no
permanent injury.
Series of Misfortunes.
Bromley’s first plane nosed into the
ground a year ago as he was taking off 1
from Tacoma, Wash., Field for Toklo.
Bromley was not injured, but the plane
was wrecked.
The tail assembly fell off his second
plane while Lieut. Harold Fahy was
testing it. Fahy was injured seriously.
He was killed In a plane crash several
months later.
Bromleys third plane burst into
flames in the air, fatally injuring H. W.
Catling when it crashed.
Bromley’s plane City of Tacoma
plowed deeply into the soft beach at
Shitsukari, 17 miles from here, but es
caped serious damage.
Tanabe is the nearest railway and
telegraph station and the roads to
Shitsukari are impassable by automo
bile. Japanese experts said it would
take several days to dig the plane out ,
and refit it for the short flight to Sami
fhlro Beach. It was from the latter
place Bromley started early Sunday and
the site which he will probably choose
if he takes off again.
Could Have Reached Alaska.
The flyers estimated they had cov
ered 1,200 miles before turning back
and had traveled a total of 2,400 miles
when they landed near here. They
said their gasoline supply would have
b»en sufficient to reach butch Harbor,
Alaska.
The monoplane was in the air 24
hours and 52 minutes. The plane had
reached 300 miles beyond Capt Lopetka.
nearly half way to the westernmost
Aleutians, before turning back when the
flyers encountered thick fog and head
Binds.
Fear for the flyers’ safety had in
creased when no reports were received
after they began its hazardous flight.
Although the plane carried a wireless
set, operators on ships at sea and land
stations were unable to pick up signals
from the flyers. It was believed rain
had disabled the radio set.
Before their take-off from Samishlro
Beach the aviators had been promised
ideal weather along almost the entire
distance of the great Circle route to
Tacoma.
Shortly after the plane left the sandy
runway of Samishiro Beach it en
countered. fog. rain and headwinds over
the Kurile Island.
First Intimation he was returning
came when the radio operator of the
Dollar liner President Taft, docked in
Yokohama Harbor, intercepted a mes
sage saying the plane had passed Cape
Lopatka. southernmost point of the
Komc-hatka Peninsula, late Sunday aft
ernoon.
After Bromley and Gatty landed on
the cape the American embassy dis
patched an interpreter to Shitsukari to
aid the flyers.
Violate Japanese Regulations.
Their return involved official com
plications because Shitsukari is near

45-mile zone over which flying is for
bidden.
Bromley had a permit to fly from
Japan, but lacked permission to land
in the islands, and flyers and plane
must be examined to satisfy authorities
the regulations were not violated.

was unlikely, Japanese officialdom's

BERLIN, September 15.—A star

tered streets free of political hand j
bills and set to studying what to
;do with a Reichstag in which
I Adolf Hitler’s Fascist party sud
! denly had been multiplied by nine
1 to a representation of at least 107
members.
Press and politicians, still
i somewhat stunned by these sen
j national and unexpected gains,
which more than doubled the
wildest predictions of the Hitler
ites themselves, were forced to
turn their attention immediately
to the problem of finding a parlia
mentary majority with which the
government could be carried on
in the face of radical opposition
from both left and right.
Socialists Head List.
Germany saw more than 34,-
000,000 of her inhabitants go to
the polls on Sunday in the most
interesting and surprising ballot
ing within the five elections under
| the republic.
Chancellor Bruening witnessed the
diminution of his Centrist movement
| and the ascendancy to the top of the .
list, with not less than 143 delegates. <
of the Socialist party In the next
Reichstag. Together with this, a wholly
unexpected Increase In Communist
strength was manifested, the result
being the election of 76 members under
| that banner.
The forthcoming German Parlia- ;
ment will be one in which two huge .
coalitions must decide Germany’s:
course.
According to corrected official fig- 1
ures, Reichstag seats will be distributed
as follows:
Socialists, 143; Fascists, 107; Com
munists, 76; Centrists, 68; German Na
tionals, 41; People's party, 29; Eco

Middle Parties in Minority.
In such a line-up, the middle parties,
upon w'hich the Bruening cabinet re

Today.

VALLEY STREAM, N. Y., September
15.—Dieudonne Caste and Maurice Bel- j
lonte took off from Curtiss Field at I
11:06, E. S. T., in their transatlantic!
plane ’*?” on the first leg of their good
will flight around the country. Hart
ford, Conn., was their first objective.
A few minutes later Lieut. Roland
Hicks took off in his Army plane with
Francois Beron, Coste's mechanic; MaJ
George Witten, manager of the tour, and
Rene Racover, who will act as Inter- !
preter for the French flyers, followed. I
The flyers will spend the night at
Boston.
The flight will last 25 days and will j
take the famous airmen, first ever to
fly westward over the North Atlantic
from mainland to mainland in a heavier
than-air machine, across 30 States in j
which they will make 31 stops and
pass over about 70 other cities. The
course bends westward from Boston,
along a northerly route to the Pacific
and back through Southern States. The
last night, October 9, will be spent at
Philadelphia, the flyers returning to
New York next day.
Tour Idea Credited to Lindy.
The tour is sponsored by a commit
tee of 20 prominent men, and is gen
erally believed to have been conceived
by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, who him
self made a similar but more extended
good will flight after his return In 1927
from the first solo flight across the
North Atlantic-.
Coste and Bellonte were dinner guests
of the Lindberghs the evening after
their arrival, and it is understood first
plans for the tour were made on that
occasion. The next day they left for
Dallas to win the $25,000 Eastwood
prize and for Washington, to be re
ceived by President Hoove*. In their
absence, the committee was formed.

at 2:41:31.
Whistles on the spectator fleet Dlaved a noisv chorus as En

U. S. S. KANE,* OFF AMERICA’S CUP COURSE, September 15
</P) (By Radio to the Associated Press).—Enterprise, slim marvel of
a racing yacht led Sir Thomas Lipton’s Shamrock V by 6 mimites
at the end of the first 10 miles of their second 30-mile race Ur the
series for the America's Cup.
Outmaneuvered at the start and outfooted in the 10-mile beat
into the wind, Sir Thomas’ boat appeared to have no chance against
the American defender and what may prove to be the Irish baronet’s
last attempt at the “Silly Old Mug” seemed to be another lost cause.
Harold S. Vandeybilt, wealthy amateur sportsman, who skippered
the Enterprise, handled his white-hulled boat like a master and put
her on the mark straight and true.
Ernest <Ned) Heard, veteran English skipper, at the helm of
Shamrock, appeared to have met his master in the American sports
man. He fought a losing battle from the start and lost precious
minutes at the turn when he reached for the mark a bit too early
and was forced to pull up the challenger so hard that she almost
lost way.
Ahead of him all the way from the starting line was the tower
ing mast and wind filled sails of the Enterprise and tack as he
would that barricade of sail stood between him and the breeze.
Outfooted by Enterprise.
The Shamorck crossed the line on
the weather side, but she was outfooted
by the Enterprise, which quickly crossed
her bow and held that position to within
sight of the IQ-mile mark. Enterprise
made the turn at 12:21:30, just 1 hour
41 minutes and 30 seconds after the
: starting gun sent them on their way.
With the wind <on their beam on the
second leg, it -was expected that they
would sail along much faster, then at
the next turn they would have the
wind behind them for a quick run home.
There was no question today of their
finishing within the limit al
lowed for the race.
Conditions were almost ideal for rac
ing today, with a 10-knot breeze, a
clear sky and fine visability. This was
in direct contrast to the first race on
Saturday when fog shrouded the course
from starting buoy to finish line.
Race Over Triangular Course
Despite the changed conditions, the
fleet accompanying the boats today was
much smaller than the great armada
that sailed out of Newport Saturday
morning and surged along through the
j mists in the wake of the racing yachts.
The race today was over a triangular
| course as compared to the straight
; windward and leeward course that wasi
sailed the first day.
The series goes to the first yacht to
win four races and if today’s race may
be taken as a fair indication of which
way the wind is blowing, more than
that will not be necessary to decide pos
session of the old silver cup America
has held for 79 years.
The second of the series of races got
under way at 10:40 a.m. tE. S. T.), ex
actly on schedule.
Commodore Vanderbilt hit the start
ing line just as the starting whistle
sounded. Shamrock was a bit tardy,
apparently fearful of crossing too soon.
Vanderbilt was noted In the elimina
tion trials for hitting the mark right
on the dot
A nice breeze of about 10 miles an
hour was blowing as the two yachts
started over the 30-mile triangular
course.
Both craft werp wearing mam sail,
stay sails, jibs and large jib topsails. €
Enterprise Draws Away.
Enterprise, sailing closer to the wind,
was drawing away from the Sham
rock in the first few minutes of the
race.
The American defender was so far
ahead that sailing men estimated
' Vanderbilt might cross the bow of
Shamrock to the weather berth if he so
desired.
! Shamrock, unless Skipper Ernest
I Heard could shake her up. appeared
doomed to take the wake of the Enter
l prise as she did throughout the first
I race Saturday, which the American
boat won with a margin of 2 minutes,
52 seconds.
Vanderbilt crossed Shamrock's bow
at 10 52. His maneuver left the green
hulled challenger about five lengths in
the Enterprise's lee.
As soon as the American skipper
had his boat well to weather of the
Shamrock he went back to the star
board tack.

This morning a trained nurse, en

she had been employed to care for the

strategic advantage. Being to weather,
his boat would be first to feel the breese
and also act as an obstruction to the
wind reaching the Shamrock’s sails at
its full velocity.
Both boats were surging along with
white water showing under the bows.
Although Shamrock appeared to be
footing it along in good shape, it was
impossible to see how the challenger
: could work through Enterprise's lee.
All Skipper Vanderbilt had to do to
check Shamrock was to bear down on
her and blanket her with his own
towering spread of sail. Such a ma
neuver undoubtedly would almost empty
the wind from the British boat’s sails.
Both boats went over on the port tack
at 11:05.
Vanderbilt Takes No Chances.
Skipper Heard, using every means to
gain the advantage, stayed on the port
tack but a moment and then went over
to starboard.
Vanderbilt, faking no chances, quickly
followed.
The maneuver only gained grolind for
the Enterprise, her crew appearing
faster In stays on both changes.
Ned Heard appeared to be playing ths
American defender’s game, as the En
terprise is noted for her ability to spin
about like a dancer, scarcely losing way.
Shamrock went back on the port tack
again at 11:18. The Enterprise quickly
followed. Vanderbilt was playing the
] game for all there was in it and tak

ping away from him and regaining that
i precious advantage the Enterprise won
j at the start.
Has Shamrock at Mercy.
The situation was analagous to that

The American skipper appeared to
have the Shamrock at his mercy and
it seemed only a question of how wida
his lead would be when the boats
rounded the 10-mile marker.
With the turning marker almost In
striking distance at 11:45, an hour and
five minutes after the start. Shamrock
went over on the starboard tack.
Enterprise followed the maneuver
closely and Capt. Heard quickly went
back to the port tack again.
Again Shamrock appeared to have
gained nothing by' the shifts: in fact
the advantage was with Enterprise, due
to her crew’s quicker sail handling.
Shamrock Tacks Again.
Shortly after noon Shamrock tacked
again, but Skipper Vanderbilt held on
the starboard tack, heading for the
marker that showed a third of the race
was run. apparently satisfied that he
had the situation well in, hand.
The sun had burned away the mist
as the boats neared the turn and the
fine visibility made it a brilliant picture
as the white and green boats slipped
along through the blue water, spray
flying from their bows.
Two blimps cruised leisurely overhead,
their silver bodies etched against a bril
liant blue sky.
Rounding the 10-mile mark at
12:21:30, 1 hour and 40 minutes from
the start, Enterprise boomed away on
the long reach for the next marker.
She was sliding easily through the gen
tle swell which was running.
Shamrock, almost a mile behind now,
seemed to be having harder going
through the swells and plunged her nose
sluggishly into them.
Both yachts broke out ballooners as
they rounded the turn and picked up
speed.
Enterprise had increased her lead
over Shamrock to approximately 2
miles at 1 o'clock, and was footing along
at a good pace.
In addition to the ballooners both
boats were carrying staysails in the
reach for the second marker.
Enterprise had increased her margin
! over Shamrock to more than nine min
| utes as the two-thirds mark of their
i race was reached.
The British challenger was more than
i 2 miles behind, with only 10 miles to
go. Her chances appeared hopeless
The American boat was Just 2 hours
and 42 minutes completing the first 20
