A MAN IN LONDON. EXPLODES BOMB IN NEW YORK SINISTER POSSIBILITIES [Judging from a cable message received by.the Star from New York, this morning, the possibilities of wireless in the warfare of the future are so terrible as to render the greatest inventions of the past a s futile -as would be a Roman galley against the Hood. Before a huge crowd in New York a bomb was exploded by a wireless operator in London.] BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION— COPYRIGHT
Received Nov. 10, 11.45 a.m. NEW YORK, Nov. 9. . Crowds 'attending the annual national Radio- Exposition were given a remarkable demonstration of the sinister possibilities of a new 7 deadly weapon of future warfare. A Britisher, sitting; in a powerful radio station in' London, flashed an impulse over the Atlantic, exploding a demonstrating bomb set up in the Exposition. As a blinding fla-sli occurred an automatically controlled camera flicked and a, photographic record was made of the first attempt to bombard New York from London.
The result, if a real bomb had been used, was left to the imagination of the startled crowd.
