Show WRIGHTS CONTROL I FLinpi I Wilbur Wright Will Secure In- j junctions Against All 111 Foreigners. SI1 INTERNATIONAL MEET 1 WILL GREATLY SUFFER II President Bishop Says Present Legal Action Is Hard Blow 11 to Aeronautics. j 11 By Leased Wire to The Tribune. ' II NEW YORK. Feb. 19. Wilbur Wright H has come to Now York to load in his fight I IjB in which ho terms "Infrlngementa ot J8 aeronautic patents." When seen at tha Park hotel tonight, Mr. Wright refused I H to discuss his plans, but his present stti-' tudo makes it plain that a snag may ba jfl struck when the Federated Aero clubs of V the world attempt to hold the interna- j iff tional aviation meeting in this country' X this year. j jfl j Taking advantage of tho crimp which H the Dayton aviators have already put In the plans of exhibition aeronauts, Franco jfl has launched a project to hold a com-' H petlng aviation meeting at the samo tima when the International meeting shall ba H held In the United States. 98 The international aviation meet for H which half a dozen American cities are I!B contending would be tho second such IJB event, the first having been held last III The present injunction secured by tha fluO Wrights 13 againBt Louis Paulhan, who IHtl has been exhibiting throughout the west. linr But It would be a comparatively easy sttrj matter for the Wrights to get a blanket 1:112 Injunction prohibiting flights by all avl- iloF ators unless they used Wright machines. Bf The International meeting will bring 1BI to America every kind of aeroplane ever (jf built, so each machine might legally con- lifgl: stltute a separate infringement.
