TALK WITH PRESIDENT DOLE.
In an interview with a representative OF the
Associated Press to-day President Dole freely
discussed conditions in the republic OF which he
IS the executive head but refused repeatedly to
talk Of the Hawaiian annexation question
Il cannot go into discussion OF matter
which is before Congress now" he said "It
would be think. discourteous. The newspaper
men appreciate my position. think. in regard to
II. and have been very courteous. But there is
one thing do wish say" the President con-
tinued. land that is this: There Is absolutely
no foundation for these stories Of Hawaii being
menaced by Japan. There Is absolutely nothing
in IT, We not menaced by Japan, and we
did not have Cabinet meeting and discuss
matter OF the kind referred to, either before
leaving or al any time. and there is no element
in our relations with Japan in the cause OF my
leaving There is nothing in the relations be-
tween our country and Japan that hurried me TO
America"
What is the sentiment In Hawaii on the an
reXdtiOn question =, Presldent DOle was asked.
Il really cannot answer the question exactly
1t is impossible to say how many Hawaiians
are in favor OF II and how many are opposed 70
1t. because one knows. The royalists would
tell you. some Of them. that all Hawaans are
opposed 10 annexation which is not true. But
how many opposed 10 1t and how many are
in favor OF It nobody knows. The Portuguese
Consul regards 1t az a very good prospect for the
intererts OF the Portuguese in the island. l
think the Portuguese are generally In favor Of
It, | think the Germans are generally in favor
