SEARCH NEARING END
MISSING HAWAII CLIPPER
FOUL PLAY SUGGESTED
(Reed. Aug. 2, 9 a.m.) MANILA, July 31
The search for the wreckage of the Hawaii Clipper, which was reported on Friday to be missing between Hawaii and Manila, continued to-day without success.
The oil spot found by the transport vessel Meigs on the sea is breaking up and it is unlikely that it can be followed much longer.
An unofficial report states that the naval craft expect to be called in from the search to-morrow night.
Meantime, an investigation was begun upon a report that Wah Sung Choy, a restaurant keeper of 'Jersey City, who was a passenger in the Clipper, carried a large sum of money ostensibly to the Chinese Government. The report mentions the possibility that the destruction of the plane grew out of foul play over Choy's errand.
