Livingston, Aug. 7.--(By The Associated Press.)--After scrambling for 12 hours over glaciers and precipices in an effort to be the first man to reach the summit of Mount Moran, in the Teton mountains of Wyoming, Leroy Jeffers of New York city, secretary of the Associated Mountaineering Clubs of North America, accompanied by Warren Loyster of Syracuse, N. Y., a Yellowstone park forest ranger, attained the top, only to find that a party of climbers headed by Dr. L. A. Hardy of New York city had reached the coveted pinnacle more than a week earlier.
Mr. Jeffers returned to Moran, Wyo., Monday afternoon and communicated by telegraph to Superintendent Horace M. Albright of Yellowstone park the story of his 30-hour trip up and down the west peak of Mount Moran.
Jeffers and Loyster started their climb at 5 o'clock Sunday morning. On reaching the summit they reported having found a record left July 27 by Dr. Hardy and two companions, Bennett McNulty and B. C. Rich, both of Salt Lake City.
Mr. Jeffers told park officials that Dr. Hardy is a member of an Alpine club associated with the organization of which Mr. Jeffers is secretary.
