OLIVE BRANCH
WILCOX SEEKS AN INTERVIEW
WITH PRINCE
CUPID.
BOLTERs WILL HAVE A CAUCUS
TONIGHT.
The Delegate Sends for w. II. Corn
well the Democratic National Com
mitteeman for Territory Of Hawaii

Secretary Nakookoo of the Home
Rule executive committee was sent last
evening to Waikiki with a message
from Delegate Wilcox to Prince Cupid
asking for an interview which not not
granted. Cupid sending out a message
stating that he had entirely severed his
connection with Wilcox and his follow
ing.
This morning Nakookoo was the
bearer of message to w. H. Cornwell
asking for an interview. Mr.. Corn
well stated that he was willing to meet
the Wilcox and see what he wanted.
1t is understood that Mr.. Cornwell is
the recipient of a letter from a MEM
Der of the commission in which it is
advised that the Democrats and Home
Rule party consolidate, if the former
think it a fit procedure it being i'm
perative that the home rulers affiliate
themselves with either the Republican
or Democratic parties, before very
long.
Prince Cupid did not come to town
this forenoon. The Wilcox party claim
that they have won back some Of the
following of Cupid but state that ley
have not so far reclaimed the prince,
John Wise, Kanuha, Long or any of
the men of the reform party who made
themselves prominent during the con-
vention
The delegates We're standing on the
street corners this morning, those
whose immediate attention to their af-
fairs did not necessitate their depar-
ture from the city, and are thrashing
the questions of yesterday over again.
The makai-ewa corner of King and
| Bethel street seems to be their favo-
rite stamping ground. Expressions
| were freely made that the bolting ele-
ment would soon return to the party
as quickly as Wilcox could gain oppor-
| tunity to see them The boilers on the
other hand seem equally confident that
an Independent party will be formed
which will work in unision with the
| Republican and finally merge with that
| organization.
! Some Republicans have expressed
I i1eir Willingness to support Prince Eu-
| pid should he run, but he has declared
| that he is too young for office and
! has no desires in that direction for
some time to come" 1t is thought
and expressed as a hope by many of his
! following that under the present cir
| cumstanCes he will consent to be NOM
| mated at the head of an Independent
party. In that case they believe he
will obtain much of the Republican
vote as well as that of his own party
and the result will leave Wilcox at
| home.
! The choosing of the candidates by dl-
| rection of the party leaders is the rock
upon which the two parties split. The
| refOrmers claim that they wish to in
! stitute precinct clubs, district commit
! tees, hold primaries and maintain the
| regular system of party politics and
| Wilcox in his speech yesterday stated
! that the leaders should choose the cam
! didates and not the members of the
party on the various islands as pro-
posed by a delegate. The reform party
| hold that the appOrtiOnment of dele
! gates giving Oahu total of 124 out of
! 143 is unjust and does not represent the
electorate.
Carlos A. Long stated this morning
! that he would endeaVOr TO get Prince
! Cupid TO address the meeting this even
! ing at Foster Hall. He was not certain
of success however. The caucus will
be held at eight o'clock for the purpose
of discussing the situation. 1t will be
strictly limited to the boilers and will
be a private council. Among those pre-
sent will be Carlos A. Long, Meheula,
| Ewaliko, Wise, Clarke, Kanuha and
! NakOokOO.
Nakookoo was secretary for the con-
vention and was not present when the
split occurred having been subpoena d
by Bailiff Ellis He has Joined the
ranks of the reformers.
Mrs. Wilcox was down town this
morning, endeaVoring to whip the
boilers into line. She interviewed Ma
koolooo to no effect. Nakookoo declar-
ed that he could not pull in the same
boat as Kalauokalani Teresa replied
that Kalauokalani was a statesman be-
! fore Nakoo!iOo had laid aside his
swaddling clothes, but Nakookoo opin-
ed that he could not see things the
way Kalauokalani saw them. Mrs.
Wilcox also saw Long and Meheula
without result though much argument
was held on the subject.
