The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1901-01-19

The anti-Delehanty interests achieved
a victory yesterday by placing Capt.
David E. Scribner of Brooklyn on the
ticket for Vice President in place of
Capt. H. NJ. Randall, who is in sym
panty with Capt. A. J. NeWbury, who
will be nominated for President and
who has acted generally with the lay
members on the board of Snug Harbor
trustees as against Capt. Trask and
the Marine Society. Capt. Newbury
voted for the appropriation of $1,000
for Commodore Delehanty's trip to
Washington when he went before a
medical board to be condemned as I'M
fit for sea duty when Secretary of the
Navy Long ordered him to the Asiatic
station. Because of the several tick
cts likely to be nominated it is hoped
by the anti-Delehanty people that
Capt Newbury will be defeated. The
ticket recommended for nomination
yesterday is as follows: For President,
Capt A. j. Newbury; for Vice Fresi-
dent, Capt. D. z. Scribner; for Second
Vice President, Capt. Benjamin F.
Marsh; for Treasurer, Capt. James H.
Chamberlain; for Secretary, Capt.
Thomas M Nichols; for Counsel, Will
liam Allen Butler The election will be
