yesterday from all directions. Secretary

he was not responSible for the selection
OF Miss Lyon. and put the matter square

while they had beautiful daughters who
were distinctly available for the cham

been no hard feelings engendered.

But they all wonder why q Demo-

the daughter OF Republican. and
particularly Of a Rooseveitian Repub-
llcan, the leader of the anti-administra-

christening the big battle ship at New

proved a charming sponsor for the big
ship. Miss Helen Hardy. one Of the
seasons debutantes, and a daughter Of
Representative Hardy, or Miss Mary
Agnes slayden. niece Of Representative
SIayden, would have both acted accpt-
ably in the position.
Mrs. Robert Hardy yesterday made
statement to this effect:
The reason we are not going TO New

because my daughter, Miss Leila Mae
Henry. has another engagement, and am
in mourning. have heard Of no social
feud in regard to the matter, and the
fact that CLAUDIA Lyons Is 10 be sponsor
for the ship has nothing in the world
to do with our going or not going.
have asked my daughter II she feels any
pique about the matter, or II any other
Texas girls do. and she says that they
have not even thought OF the matter.
1t is true that II is unusual for Demo-
cratic Governor to appoint a daughter OF
a Republican for such an honor. but /

about it,
Makes Letters Public.
Secretary Meyer made. public the letter
from Gov. CoIouitt. dated July Ii. 1911.
asking that Miss Claudia Lyon be nomi-
mated to christen the Texas. and his re-
ply to the same, making the nomination
