tleship North Carolina was the Sub
ject OF long conference to-day be-
tween Governor Glenn and Congress-
man Charles r. Thomas. of Newborn
The definite announcement was made
at one time through letter from the
Navy Department to Governor Glenn
that the presentation would be In
North Carolina waters, off the bar at
Beaufort, the only matter open then
being the time; and In that connection
the effort was to settle on some day
in July,that would conflict neither with
the state Democratic convention at
Charlotte nor the national convention
a Denver However, the whole matter
OF both the place and the time was
reoponed, owing to contentious by a
number of those intimate with the
proposed ceremonies, that the idea Of
having the presentation was not prac-
ticable, because the vessel off the bar
at Beaufort would be difficult Of access,
accommodations for the crowds that
might attend limited. and the danger
of stormy weather that would break
up the ceremonies in rough sea. For
these reasons some insisted that the
thing to do was to have the presen-
tation at Norfolk, where the North
Carolina Society should provide special
entertainment adequate to the great
occasion. and where the facilities for
immense crowds are ample.
Governor Glenn and Congressman
Thomas agreed that the presentation
be in North Carolina waters. either at
Lookout or off the Beaufort Inlet, and
to make the request OF the Navy De-
partment and officers OF the ship that
they settle upon a date that will fall,
somewhere between July 18th and Au-
gust Sth. while the companies OF the
North Carolina. National Guards are at
Morehead for the annual encampment.
