According to the New York Times account, Commander C.A. Adams was given command of the Recruit by Vice Adm. Usher during the ceremonies, so "Capt. Jack Adams" might be Commander Adams. Mayor Mitchel cut off at right.

From ceremony on May 30, 1917 to officially launch the U.S.S. Recruit in Union Square. See
