[THE PRESS Special Service.] WELLINGTON, October 16. No decision has yet been reached by the responsible authorities in NewZealand on the question as to whether or not Lieutenant Frewin, the Queensland aviator, will be permitted to make his projected flight across the Tasman from Auckland to Sydney. The Commonwealth Government declined to allow Lieutenant Frewin to make the flight from Australia to New Zealand on the ground that the machine he intended to use was unsuitable for the purpose, the principal objection being that the machinewas ji land one and that therefore the flight was likely to be attended by fatal results should it como down in the sea. Lieutenant Frewin was reported m the Press news from Australia last week as having made arrangements to ship his machine to Auckland by the Aorarigi on her next voyage, and that he had added additional fuel tanks. It is expected that when the aeroplane arrives in Now Zealand it will he inspected by the New Zealand Air Force experts, and that on their report the Government will decide whether or not Lieutenant Frewin shall be allowed to make the .flight.
