MUST Reject APPLICATIONS
Presidents Delegates Are Compelled
TO DisappOint Members
of the Preaa.

NEW YORK, Feb. s.-The presidents
delegates for the entertainment of Prince
Henry have been overwhelmed by appliea-
lions from the principal newspapers of the
country. seeking places for their represen-
tatives at the launching of Meteor, and on
the special train on which Prince Henry
VIII journey through the country The
German embassy also has been in receipt
OF similar communications, hence II has
been thought proper to issue a statement
on the subject which takes the form OF a
letter, one Of many Others written In re-
spouse to an application from one Of the
great journals Of the country.
In substance this letter states that while
1t would be gratifying to the delegates II
the individual newspapers OF the country
could be represented as they desire. Il has
been found impossible to comply with
their applications for the purely physical
reason that no train could be made up to
accommodate all the applicants and make
schedule time, and 1t is OF course, unfair
to discriminate as between the newspapers.
By economizing space on the train 1t has
been found possible to provide six places,
three for the representatives OF the AmerI-
can Press association and three for CORE
s~pondents Of newspapers published in Ger
many. who will be designated by the Ger
man ambassador.
The delegates are confident that the
newspapers will thus be able to obtain all
the news Of the trip without favoritism.
AS to the launch at Shooters Island. Mr..
Wallace Downey. head Of the ship building
Arm and located at No. ~ Broadway, New
York. has undertaken to provide accommo-
dations for all newspapers who have a
right to make application to him directly.
