FAMILY OBJECTS TO ATLANTIC FLIGHT
MISS MACKAY KEEN By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. NEW YORK, Thursday. The New York “Sun” publishes a statement to the effect that secret arrangements were made for Miss Mackay and Captain Hinchcliffe to attempt a transatlantic flight, but the premature publicity given to the matter forced them to abandon it. The paper says it obtained an admission to this effect from Mr. John Gillespie, w-ho is Captain 'linchcliffe’s American manager. The latter said the flight -would be undertaken in spite of the objections of Miss MacSay’s family. According to a message from London, Miss Mackay admits that she has been aloft on every occasion of the machine’s trials and would give anything to go on a transatlantic trip in it, but her father was opposed to the idea. Captain Hinchcliffe says he hopes to make a transatlantic flight shortly, but he will first carry out a longdistance non-stop flight. He may attempt to fly to Karachi. “In any case,” he says, “I shall try to be the first man to go to America from England by air.”—A. and N.Z.
