the Craftsmanship Of Convention

lHBs Sdlu wi. ruCSdTlIy, anu Will II
was a request that it be not given out
to the press, SO l am not at liberty to
show 1t to you. Its substance, how
Aver, Is that David has been consider
ing the offer of the nomination which
was rendered to him and that while
before he was not in a position to ac-
cept it, obstacles to his acceptance
have been removed and he is now will
ing to take the nomination If it Is Of
fered to him.
II first learned yesterday of Prince
David's intention to accept the nomin-
alton. but the letter did not come to me
until this morning. 1t Will necessitate
our making some changes in our plans
but they will so on about as before ar
ranged. OF course we shall now elimin-
ate the other candidates who were
mentioned and there is no doubt that
David will be nominated at the Ter
ritorial convention.
What will be done about the Isen-
berg matter / do not know. We don't
yet know where Mr.. Isenberg stands
anyway, for we went away before any
thing could be done towards offering
him the nomination. You see at the
a number of names suggested as avail
able timber for Congress and among
them was that of Mr.. Isenberg. We
did not exactly decide to offer him the
nomination but a committee was ap-
pointed to wait upon him to see IL he
would accept it. He went to Kauai be-
fore anything could be done about it.
"By-the-way, how did the Advertiser
get that report of that caucus anyway?
We were all thunder struck when we
read it in the paper and saw Paul 1sen-
berg's picture there. You must have
had some one located where he could
hear what was said. 1t was plain
enough that no one gave the meeting
away for some one must have been
there taking notes. No one but a news
paper man could have told 1t as well
as 1t was told.
"Of course as Mr.. Isenberg has never
been officially Informed of the result OF
the meeting, the committee not having
had chance to inform him of what
was done, it will be easy to let the mat
ter drop as far as he Is concerned, and
that leaves the way open for an accept
ance of the candidacy of Prince David.
There Is no danger but that Prince
David will be nominated. All we need
ed was his consent to run and now that
we have that the way is easy for us,
We shall hold the mass meeting Mon
day next and at that we shall choose
the delegates for the Territorial con-
vention. We shall hold the convention
about the first of October. The date
has not yet been settled upon, but will
I, t,N to tro
Committee can meet. 1t will be held In
this city without doubt"
SAM PARKER TALKS.
Samuel Parker, when seen by an Ad
Vertiser reporter last night concerning
his relations with Prince David Ka-
wananakoa in the matter of the nomin-
alton for Congressman, said that the
interview with him in yesterdays Ad-
vertser was correct and that he stood
by his statement contained therein. He
added that the article which appeared
in an evening paper, contradicting the
assertions in the Advertiser, was writ
ten in contradiction of the facts.
IF l am nominated for Congress l
shall most certainly rum" said Mr.. Par
ker. "Of course it is all rather previous
Ut DItStlll us lltlN en- pGtll
yet But II am, why shall run most
assuredly. No! l will not withdraw in
favor of Prince David nor have made
any such assertion. At is turns out
Prince David will not withdraw in
favor of myself"
