REPUBLICANS WILL YET
DISCUSS GOVERNOR DOLE
Attempt to Make Capital Out of In
terviews With a Friend Fails.
Resolutions.

NY \ MOTION to adjourn which
carried with a majority of two
IA votes. the Republican Territorial
Central Committee quit work last even
ing with resolution asking that Presi-
dent Roosevelt consult the committee in
the event OF vacancy in the governor
ship, or any other Territorial office
stiu in the air. The resolution started
sion exists that a vacancy is likely to
arise in the office at any time, and this
being taken as an act of discourtesy by
the friends of Governor Dole. they ad
journed so as to prevent action.
The meeting was one full of incident.
Stewart starred and having turned up
with a bunch of proxies, which he vot-
ed upon every subject. even after hav-
ing deprecated the custom of voting
when the wishes of the giver OF the
proxy were not known. made the entire
meeting one full of interest for those
who had a heart the best for the party.
He first would have none of any plan
for permitting the proxies of the mem
bers of the executive committee to be
given to other than members of the
Territorial committee, and then he
made a fight against permitting party
leaders other than thirty now in the
committee, from coming into the coun-
ellis except in an advisory capacity, by
. opposing the giving of proxies to others
than members of the committee.
OF the business before the committee
there was nothing of so much general
discussion and such peculiar weight as
the resolution concerning the governor
ship. More than once there was drop
ped a sentence which indicated that
there was going to be some feeling
when that matter came up. Once Stew
art who seemed to be intent upon
stirring up trouble, remarked that
Cooke would be only too ready to vote
upon anything affecting the governor,
this before there had been any sugges-
ton that the faction which is endeavor-
ing to dlscredit the executive would
go the length of trying to force through
a resolution which would be taken at
Washington to mean that there was
anxiety to have another man in his
place. II was permitted to the COM
mittee to get through its regular busi-
ness as TO meetings and members be-
fore Stewart sprung his resolution, so
that when the adjournment until this
evening was taken there was little left
fnr ba n a l<a
The meeting was a large one. there
being twenty-five votes recorded as
present in person or by proxy when
the business was taken up. The room
of the committee was filled when
Chairman Kennedy called the meeting
to order. There were there Chairman

When the well known writer, Editor
Norrie, came in with a smile, Stewart
grasped his hand and took his hat and
placed it on the table, with emphasis, /
but with his hand at his back pocket
Norrie's retort was there: Don't you
want my razor, too? The following /
proxies were held: by ]. p. Cooke; F. /
B. McStocker. w. G. Walker, H. p
Baldwin, p n. Kahokuoluna, d. H. Ka- |

Gilman: b. F. Sandow. Later in the /
evening Wright voted for ]. w. Jones !
and Fisher for Kepoikai In the first /,
voting Stewart also voted for McCabe, /
before the resignation was acted upon !
by the committee.
When the roll call was on there was !
a preliminary skirmish. Stewart want |
ed to see the records as to how the Ka-
uai men. whose proxies Cooke held, had (
been appointed to the committee. as he {
averred he could not remember when /!
they were chosen. This brought out on
~ a little bit Of fire. and there was a
laugh when later II was shown that one (
of the very men whose place he seemed (
to contest. Brandt Stewart had solicit .
ed for a proxy. The minutes We're read /
and Cooke moved and had passed in !
succession resolutions rcconsiderine the /
action of the last meeting in providing
for the two extra members of the com /
mittee, and then pOstponing the resolu- /
ton indefinitely. Stewart then called |
up the resigna tion of McCabe and when I
this was accepted, John c. Lane was !
elected unanimously for the place, !
which was followed by the creation Of (
vice Craftsmanship which place was fill- I
ed by the election Of Mr.. Lane. Lane ;
