ESSEX CAPTURES
LINER KRONPR|Nz
British Cruiser Taking German
Ship to Bermuda as Prize,
Two Reports Say.
CENSORSHIP MAKES IT
DIFFICULT TO VERIFY
Sailor on the Narragansett Hears
Wireless Message and Royal Mail
Packet Manager Tells of Rumor.

NEW YORK, August 10.-From two
sources today came a report to New
York that the North German Lloyd
liner Kronprinz Wilhelm had been cap
tured by the British cruiser Essex and
taken to Bermuda as prize. The liner
Narragansett reported having heard a
wireless message to this effect. and the
manager of the Royal Mail Steam
Packet, whose ships run to Bermuda,
said he had heard a similar report, and
that he had every reason to believe the
report was true. He would not say
where he had heard 1t. but 1t was be-
lieved that the British consul was his
authority. Rigorous censorship is be-
ing enforced in Bermuda, and no con-
flrmation of the report could be OBJ
tained at Hamilton.
A cryptic dispatch from the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press at
Bermuda indicated he had some news
which he would like to communicate.
but could not on account Of the CEN
sorship. It was in reply to a message
informing him Of the reported capture
Named for Crown Heir.
Tho Kronprinz Wilhelm. named in
honor Of the heir to the German
throne, was built in 1901 at the vul-
can works in stettin. Germany. and
launched in May, 1902. She Is 663 feet
long, Of sixty-six-foot beam, 21.300 tons
displacement and 10000 horsepower.
She has a speed Of twenty three knots
and at the time Of her launching was
one Of the fastest and largest vessels
ahoat She has accommodations for
1,715 passengers and a crew Of 562.
Customs inspectors who boarded the
British tank steamer Narragansett, in
today from Rotterdam, were informed
by a sailor of the Narragansett's crew
that the North German Lloyd liner
Kronprinz Wilhelm had been captured
by the British cruiser Essex and that
the Essex was taking her to Hamilton.
Bermuda.
The sailor said a wireless message
last Saturday from the Essex to the
station in Bermuda, intercepted by the
Narragansett, told of the capture.
North German Lloyd officials doubted
the story No word. they said, had
been received from the liner.
The Kronprinz Wilhelm sailed from
New York last Tuesday, heavily laden
with COAL ostensibly for Bremen. 1t
was reported. but not confirmed. that
she intended to meet the German
cruiser Dresden at sea and replenish
her coal supply.
Canadian Rumor.
The report was given some credence
here in view of the announcement by
the Canadian government. made at OF
tawa last night, that the Essex had ad-
yised the Bermuda station that she was
bringing in a prize. The name Of the
captured vessel was not disclosed in
the governments announcement.
Since the beginning of the war the
Essex has been cruising between Ber-
muda and Halifax. She was at Halifax
last Thursday as the convoy of the
Mauretania. If the Narragansett's in
formation be correct the Essex must
have run across the kronprinz Wilhelm
between Thursday night and Saturday
morning. The message which the Mar.
