RADIO TOUCH LOST.
Sir Hubert Wilkins' Ship in Atlantic. SILENCE BROKEN AT LAST. (Received 2 p.m.) NEW YORK, June 30. Lady Wilkins, wife of the famous explorer, Sir Hubert Wilkins, appealed to President Roosevelt and the Navy Department to attempt to communicate with the ship Wyatt Earp, on which Sir Hubert departed for Norway a week ago. The vessel has been out of radio communication ever since she left and Lady Wilkins laid stress upon her extreme worry for the safety of her husband. A message from Hyde Park said Mr. Roosevelt had directed the Navy and the coastguards to render every possible assistance to the Wyatt Earp. However, a message from Oslo states that the Norwegian liner Stavangerfjord received a wireless from Sir Hubert giving his position 40 north, 40 west. He added that he hoped to arrive in Norway in mid-July.
