ARIZONA GOVERNOR PRESENT LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 5— From Arizona came Governor R. T. "Bob" Jones to witness the sixty-fifth Kentucky Derby. Governor Jones, a native of Rutledge, Tenn., said Louisville certainly seems like home to him. He was accompanied by J. Monroe Proctor, chairman of the Arizona State Highway Commission and a native of Adairsville, Ky. They are the guests of E. P. Greenwood, of Dallas, Tex. Governor Jones, who has resided in Phoenix for thirty years, said he has a deep interest in thoroughbred racing because his grandfather in Tennessee raised thoroughbred horses.
