ARMY PLANE
FOR MILITIA OF KENTUCKY
PURPOSE OF CAPT. HUGHES.
Adjutant General Johnston May Not
Return to Kentucky at ALL
News to Governor.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 10.-Adjt.-
Gen. P. p Johnston, who was ap-
pointed by Governor Wilson as ad-
ljutant general for the time being until
he could select some man from the
state guard to serve permanently. may
not return to Kentucky after his vaca-
ton in the south and it may De neces
sary for Governor Wilson to name
his permanent adjutant general by
April 1. General Johnston is ex-
pected back by April /. At least the
governor thought he would be back
at that time but General Johnston
told Captain Hughes, the retired army
officer now acting as adjutant general
that he probably would not come
back to Frankfort at all.
Captain Hughes said that General
Johnston would stay in the south
until April 1 but, before he left, he
said to Captain Hughes that he might
not return to Kentucky and probably
would not again serve as adjutant
general. This announcement was
news at the governors office, whers
McKensie Todd said that he and the
governor had heard nothing Of Gem
eral Johnston's intentions not to re-
sumo his position as adjutant general
Captain Hughes has been detailed
! by the war department to serve In
Kentucky for four years and 1t will
be his duty to put the state guard OF
Kentucky in first-class condition.
Under an old law the war department
is authorized to assign to each state a
retired army officer whose duty shall
be to supervise the work OF the guard
and put 1t in condition, on the foot
ing of the regular army. Kentucky
had never had such an officer as
signed here and Governor Wilson
applied for an officer soon after he
went into Office.
When asked If he would continue
as adjutant general in the event Cen
eral Johnston does not resume his
duties, Captain Hughes said he hoped
not. He said he would work in Ken
lucky for four years but his work
would be outside of the adjutant
generals Office.
