Rear Admiral Cowles requests that a representative from the New York Herald be included on the list of correspondents for the movement of the Great White Fleet in light of the newspaper’s scope and history of reporting on the Navy. Cowles notes that Henry S. Brown, an executive of the Herald, is particularly incensed over the inclusion of a correspondent from a newspaper owned by William Randolph Hearst, and intends to meet with William Loeb personally to discuss adding a correspondent from the Herald.
