BRINGS INQUIRY
Call For Investigation of
Navy Department Plan
ned by Senator
TO OPEN FIRE
Democrats Expected to Make Political
Capital OF TOur-G. o. p. Said to
be Peeyed.

Washington. May ia resolution
for an investigation of economy on
lack of economy in the administration
of the Navy Department was threat
ened yesterday by Senator McCor-
mick, author of the resolution adopted

members of the Annapolis class of 81
to reunion in japan.
AS the Henderson made ready to

uished class members as Secretary
DENLY and Senator o. f. Weller
the following reactions were appar-
ent about the Senate:
Democrats are waiting for the Hen
derson to sail before launching their
attacks on the Administration and the
Navy Department for sanctionfng an
alleged "junket.'
Republicans are fully aware that
the opposition will attempt to make
political capital Of the sailing of the
Henderson and underneath the sur
face are "peeved" about the wholo
situation.
Senator Mccormick said he intended
to make a speech regarding the use Of
the transport for the Oriental voyage
and that he practically had made up
his mind to offer a resolution for an
investigation of the Navy Depart
ment. Adoption of such a resolution
before the departure of Secretary Den
by might have mace necessary his
presence in this country, but at late
hour Yesterday the Illinois Senator
had not yet prepared his resolution
and because of the debate on The Tar
if bill was not certain that he could
get the floor any time soon.
Democratic Senators so far have re-
Trained from attempts to make politi-
cal capital out of the cruise Of the
Henderson, but it was reported that
once that vessel gets under steam the
batteries Of Democratic criticism will
be turned loose.
Senator Mccormick has been in con-
suiTation with Republicans of the Sen

there is pro. pect that the naval bud

investigation into the administration
of the Navy Department.
While threatening to offer such a
resolution himself, Senator McCor-
