INTERVIEW COMEDY.
"AIR. MINISTER'S" OPINIONS. WRONG MAN ON WIRELESS. LONDON, August 6.—An amusing case of mistaken identity.. is reported from Gothenburg, in Sweden, in connection with the journey thither by aeroplane of the British Air Minister, Sir Samuel Hoare. It appears that the local press conceived the happy idea of interviewing Sir Samuel by wireless during the flight, and obtaining his opinion on various aspects of aviation. It was a brilliant idea, but what the enterprising editors of Gothenburg did not know was that his machine was not equipped with wireless. None the less, -when Sir Samuel arrived, he was astonished to find the newspapers full of a particularly chatty, interview with himself en route. To r-lear up the mystery, he called at the office of the nearest paper. To horrified editor then for the first time discovered that the press had been interviewing somebody or other in a totally different machine!
