ELLSWORTH FLIGHT
DUNEDIN REPORT DENIED. r . ■ BYRD EXPECTING MESSAGE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, Dec. 28. A report received privately that Ellsworth and Balchen have made the transAntarctic flight is generally discredited. Inquiries made from reliable sources produce not the slightest substantiation. Ellsworth dislikes publicity, but in the proudest moment of his adventurous life not even this reserved American could have maintained silence, while if he had landed at Rear-Admiral Byrd’s base his arrival could not have been kept quiet. Such is the view expressed here. A New York cable states that the New York Times denies the New Zealand report that Ellsworth crossed the Antarctic by air. Rear-Admiral Byrd is expecting a message from Ellsworth and believes that the flight is halted owing to heavy weather.
