MRS. GRAYSON INDICATES TRIP TO BE DELAYED
OLD ORCHARD, Me., Oct. 29 (P)—Mrs. Frances Grayson tonight announced the return of her amphibian plane, The Dawn, to New York tomorrow with the words: In my disappointment of today, I can only strive for a bigger, greater success for tomorrow.
Mrs. Grayson made known her decision in a dramatic way at the flying camp she had maintained here for almost three weeks, when with only a few moments warning she handed a typewritten statement to the newspapermen.
The purpose of the return and consequent postponement of the proposed flight to Copenhagen was to confer, she said, with Igor Sikorsky, builder of the plane. It appeared probable that this would eliminate The Dawn from any trans-Atlantic flight before spring.
