Flyer Announced After Long

Conference That He WouldGo With Chamberlin

New York, May 19.—(A*)—LloydBcrtaud definitely will not make theParis flight in the Bellanca mono-

Klanc with Clarence Chamberlin, andis successor is already selected,

Charles A. Levine, head of the com-pany backing the flight, told theAssociated Press this afternoon.

Lfevirie’s announcement followedtardily on an almost night long con-ference at the end of which Bertaudhad said that all difficulties hadbeen ironed out and that he wouldgo on the flight as navigator asoriginally planned.

Asked for StatementLavinc made no statement at the

time but when reports gained circu-lation that the situation was notquite as Bcrtaud believed it to be, hewas asked to state definitely whatthe results of the conference were.

“Bertaud is not going,*’ he replied.“That is definite. His successor hasbeen selected but his identity willnot be revealed until the plane isready to hop off.”

Bertaud had said injunction pro-ceedings to prevent the Columbia fromstarting on its trip without himwould be withdrawn. The navigatorfelt satisfied, he said, that he wouldbe with Clarence D. Chamberlin whenthe craft hops off.

A temporary injunction returnabletomorrow was obtained by Bertaudyesterday.

Weather Still Stormyf Adverse weather reports further

delayed the Bellanca flight. Stormyareas between here and the NewFoundland coast also held to earthCommander Richard E. Byrd’s giantFokker monoplane America, andCaptain Charles Lindbergh’s Ryanmonoplane, Spirit of St. Louis.

The mid-Atlantic, said weather re-ports, was clear but favorable skiesthe entire extent of the route prob-ably would not appear before to-morrow morning. Lindbergh is readyto depart.

Levine said that Frank Tichenor,publisher of an airplane magazine,went to his house early today, taking 1with him Bertaud and G. M. Bellanca,designer of the plane. He identifiedBertaud in his statement as “former-ly navigator of the plane Columbia.”

Is Definitely Out“Tichenor came as peacemaker and

Bellanca was neutral,” he said.“Bertaud repudiated statements at-

tributed to him in the press and at-tempted to conciliate me, but I toldhim he was definitely out.

“He offered to withdraw the in-junction suit he started against meif I would let him go but 1 rejectedhis offer.”

Asked why he had let Bertaud’sstatement that all difficulties hadbeen disposed of stand for eighthours before denying it, Levine saidthrough a representative that he wasnot interested in any conclusions thepublic might draw from such actionon his part. He said that he was notseeking publicity and only made astatement at this time because he hadbilen asked for it.
