Convention Will.
Probably Be
Here.
TO BE SETTLED
THIS MORNING
Executive Committee Divided
Against ltse!f.--Fourth
District.

1t is extremely improbable that Hilo
viii get the Republican Territorial Con-
vention. The Executive Committee of
the Republican Central Territorial
Committee viii decide the location this
morning at $50 o'clock. The Executive
Committee is between Hilo and hello.
The latter foe is the fierce telephoning
of Republicans who want the conven-
| tion here and who are making their
wants known by word of mouth to the
committeeman, and the former enemy
is the Rainy City which almost assured
of having the convention is sad and
sore at the probability of losing it.
| 1t was all settled that the convention
go to Hilo yesterday when the vigorous
protests of eminent Republicans
| brought the Executive Committee to-
gether to reconsider the matter in the
afternoon.
| At the meeting We're Chairman Geo.
w Smith. Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. john
son. A. V. Gear and Clarence Crabbe.
Honolulu members Of executive COM
mittee, were both notified to be pres
ent, but did not appear. Both We're
present at the meeting of the Fourth
District executive committee at the
Drill Shed at o'clock, and remained
There until w r. Farrington's resolu-
tioT endorsing the action of the execu-
tive cemmittee-which clearly pointsa
to the selection of HiIo as the place of
meeting-was in danger of being ta-

present at any conference held by the
In.
Chairman George W. Smith stated te
an Advertiser reporter later that the
reconsideration of the choice of the
, place for holding the convention had
been done by reason of many protests
against holding it at any other place
than Honolulu.
There were present at the meeting
beside myself, Mr.. Johnson and Mr.
/, Hughes of the committee, and Mr.
{ Hendry. the secretary said Mr.
f Smith. 1T was arranged in selecting
the executive committee that of tn
