stein finally. The Hawaii delegation
II for H. p. Baldwin OF Maui for chair
man OF the convention, and for per-
manent chairman as well. He will OF
course be placed In nomination by the
Maui delegation. and one OF our MEM
bers will second the nomination. He
Will certainly be chosen as chairman"
concluded the "If not. Why not" politi-
clan Of the Rainy City.
The delegates from Hawaii and Maui
are unit on the selection OF Mr.. Bald
win for the chairmanship. IL is UNDER
stood that the Fourth District will fol-
low the lead Of Hawaii and Maui in
this matter, both Messrs. Crabbe and
Gear OF the Executive Committee hav-
ing stated their position.
In the Fifth District the leaders
have committed themselves on George
r. Carter for chairman, but II is
thought that II the strength Of the 9TH

In to-day's convention. Carter will also
withdraw In favor OF the Maui dele
gate.

OF the Central Committee. Is promin-

1 lican Committee as yet. George w.
smith. the present incumbent. declines
TO serve any longer.
