Everything Held over Until Next
Time.

After two hours of discussion the
matters which were intended to be taxi
en- up and disposed of at the Home
Rule meeting last night were left over
untnil the next meeting.
These matters consisted Of an en-
doTsement of the Presidents message
in the passages referring to Hawaii. 1t
was understood among certain mem
bers of the committee that Delegate
Wilcox had called for this endorsement
to aid him at Washington.
The other matter was the plan for the
amalgamatiOn of the Home Rulers with
the labor unions. This came up in
combination with "A resolution brought
over from the last meeting and provid
ing for the admission of delegates from
labor unions. The carrying over Of the
question was regarded by both sides as
virtual victory for the conservatives
of the party over the younger and more
radical members,
A decision was reached that the party
leader of the future should stand be-
tween the committee and the public
and give out only such news as they
deemed advisable. Comments intended
to the Caustic on reports hitherto pub
lished by the press were freely made
The meeting was in session about two
