would rob him of that job as soon AS

NAMING The KENTUCKY
The Governors Daughter Will Be
the Cruisers Sponsor.
Unwritten Rule Is Governors May
Select Those to Name warships
Named After Their States.

The Secretary OF the Navy had his hands
tuil today settling the momentous question
as to who shall christen the new battle
ship Kentucky. The Kentucky will not be
born untr next January, in which month,
the Navy Department is expected to launch
twins, the Kearxarge and the Kentucky.
Very many anxious inquiries were sent to
and made Of the Secretary Of the Navy
as tn tn e proper ciiristener ofthe Kentucky.
The right is claimed by Miss Richardson, Of
Kentucky, 20 the dispatches say, in virtue
of aprolnisefromor selection by Mr. H srbert,
former Secretary of the Navy.
1t II also claimed by Miss Bradley,
da lighter of the governor OF Kentucky.
The Secretary of the Navy looked the
matter up today. and can find no record
of any selsc; ion BY ex-Secretary Herbert.
1t Is, in fact, not regarded as likely that Mr.
Herbert would have assumed prerogative
unless he were cock sure of a reappointment
to the Cabinet, and his chances, therefore,
began to vanish more than two years ago.
The Secretary of the Navy has ruled
that the custom is to allow the governor
of the State To select the sponsor, and has
10 informed Gov. Bradley. The incident
Is closed. 1t can also be assumed as a
fact that unfermented wine will not be
used in the christening OF the Kentucky.
