Ely Failed Second Time to Get Start on New York Flight

Eugene Ely, the young aviator who is trying to fly from Chicago to New York, is having a lot of difficulty Monday he progressed but 8 miles, a leak in the pipe that conducts the gasoline from the tank to the engine forced him to alight and this time he came down in a ditch. The machine came down near Indiana Harbor. It is expected td make another attempt today, but it is' commencing to look like the trip to New York would prove a failure.
