SPED MANIA

HARKNESS INTERVIEWED UNKNOWN FACTORS. Press Association Electric Teleeraph—Copyright (Received Friday, 5.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Don Harkness has informed the Press that he definitely dissociates himself from any claim that “Wizard’ ’ Smith’s car is designed or intended to achieve speeds in the vicinity of 300 miles an hour. “We are dealing,” he said, “with many unknown factors so it would be unwise to make any prediction. My mission has been to build a car for Bettering the existing record, but I have not yet aimed at such a high rate of speed as is freely reported. It is undesirable that such ambitious statements should be made and circulated although if the Stewart “Enterprise” is successful, as I hope it will be, its gearing my be modified to attain still more phenomenal speeds.”
