POSSIBILITY OF DELAY
NO LANDING PLACE YET LEFT TO GOVERNMENT United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. '■ (.Received 14th July, 11 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Lieutenant Ulm, discussing tho New Zealand flight, stated that there was a vague possibility that the Tasman flight would be delayed until 31st August. The organisation was not by any means completed, and nothing was being left to chance. A trial flight with the Southern Cross would be made in about a fortnight. The wireless apparatus was undergoing a complete overhaul, and would be in better condition than when the 'plane left San Francisco. Lieutenant Ulm anticipates that the New Zealand flight will begin about 9 o'clock at night, and that the 'plane will reach New Zealand in from fourteen to nineteen hours later. There had been many requests from various towns in New Zealand asking them to land in each particular place. This was a matter to which they were looking to the Dominion Government for guidance. Meanwhile no landing-ground had been selected.
