Senator Lodge requests that his telegram about Real Admiral C. H. Davis be delivered to President Roosevelt as soon as possible. (Lodge had asked that if Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans were to ask to be relieved from the North Atlantic Fleet, Davis be appointed.) In a handwritten note, William Loeb records, “[Assistant Secretary of the Navy] Newberry says no intimation from Evans that he even contemplates asking to be returned. Have so advised H.C.L.”
