THE GANG
IS SCARED

Go to Washing

.DOLE'S SUMMONS
PROVES THE SPUR
Alleged Plan to Try and Preiu-
dice the American Mind
Through the Press.

Gossip has been busy since the arriv-
al of the Alameda with the call for
the presence of Gov. Dole at Washing
ton, over the condition which will be
unfolded in his report to the Chief Ex-
ecutive, and what recommendations he
viii make to the appointing power. The
discussions have brought out the fact
that there promises to be an exodus
from this city soon, and that the repre-
sentation OF the Islands at the capital
, will be greatly increased.
According to friends of that official,
Circuit Judge Abram S. Humphreys
Will leave for Washington soon, IL his
health will permit. This conclusion is
said to have been reached when it was
known that Governor Dole was going
on. The theory upon which the de-
cision is based is alleged to be that the
forces which were summoned to the aid
of the branded judge last summer may
now be marshalled in behalf OF any
cause he may espouse. With this view,
IL is alleged, the judge will leave the
business of the courts to Judges Gear
and Robinson, and start on to wash
ington, for the purpose of convincing
the President and the persons In au-
thority, that the statements abont Gov
ernor Dole, made last summer, were all
true.
According to another Fumor, Col.
Samuel Parker may be one of the out
going passengers, he to be bound as
well for Washington and the Presi-
Dental reception room. 1t is alleged
that since his return Col. Parker has
permitted his friends to know that he
opposed Gov. Dole and it is now alleg-
ed that he is desirous OF getting pos
session of the ear OF the President be-
fore an official interview is granted to
the Territorial executive.
There is said to be behind the appar-
ent plan of Judge Humphreys a much
more comprehensive one. This is to
have the same tactics which he used
with some degree of success before car
ried out now. The party, for all kinds
of rumors connect the names OF some
of the strongest of the Sewall fighters
with the story of a Washington pill
grimage, viii go straight on TO Wash
ington, filing the papers and the cor
respondents full of their side of the
case instantly upon their arrival Then
viii commence a campaign OF misrep-
representation, which is hoped to settle
any chances which Gov. Dole and his
friends may have to secure fair and full
OF their case IN the lead
ing journals.
For this purpose the party is headed
by Judge Humphreys. for his success
with the Washington correspondents
last summer was such that if it could
be duplicated now, there might be "A
late frost upon any meeting of Gov.
Dole and the writer's. Duane Fox,
gO-between. is to be re-
tanned further and his peculiar fitness
for the place viii be apparent in read
ing of the way he operated last sum-
mer. Whether Hankey viii again help
is not known.
Plans are being made IN some quar-
ters to see that Governor Dole has
showing of the support OF the entire
business community. There is some
talk of a meeting to pass suitable reso-
utions of support and confidence, but
il has taken no definite shape.
Governor Dole hopes to get away IN
the Alameda, and while he cannot
make any plans for his return, he will
not stop longer than time sufficient to
take care of his business at Washing
ton, make a few visits and return all
)f which may consume six or eight
weeks. The absence of the others who
may make the trip is not believed to
De limited, except by the accomplish
nents and the seeming necessity for
'urther efforts.
