NO HOME RULE
HARMONY
WILCOX PAYS NO ATTENTION TO
TALKED OF PEACE
PROPOSALS.
THE REFORMERs MET AT NOON
TODAY.
Practically Decided to Form a Separate
Party to be Known as the Hawaiian
Independent Party.

Wilcox was in company with Makai-
raj and Caypless when seen down
town this morning and professed en-
tire ignorance of any meeting or any
ultimatum at noon today.
What meeting is that" saiu the
Delegate. 1T is merely a coLInittee
meeting of Cupid's party, as l under
stand" replied Caypless. "Oh, yes,
well do not intend to be there neith-
er do l know anything about our send
ing in any reply or ultimatur1 20 their
demands. We are not troubling our
selves about them. Everything will
come right in little whil'. We can
get along without them all right"
NO" chanted Caypless and Mallai-
mai in chorus, eve know nothing about
any meeting with the committee"
Il hear" said Caypless, that they
are holding what they call harmony
meetings. Maybe that is what you are
referring to- We know nothing 1t all
about the matter"
Shortly afterwards Caypless left the
| triumvirate, his place being supplied
| by Markham when the trio adjourned
to a Fort street drug store where they
! discussed the situation over Ire cream
! sodas.
! The platform committee seen shortly
/ before noon stated that they would be
| ready to report at this evenings meet
/ ing There is a desire for harmony
ir the minds of one or two of the COM
mittee, but the majority hold out for
nothing less than the expulsion Of Ka-
/ lauokalani.
The platform committee of the re-
! former wing of the Home Rule party
convened in Foster Hall this noon and
awaited an intimation from the con-
! servative element headed by Wilcox
! that the terms of reconciliation would
be accepted. They put in about twen-
ty minutes in talk and finally left with
out any message being sent from the
older faction.
Wilcox, with Makainai and Caypless
| were in the immediate neighborhOod
but made no move towards the hall
| Kalauokalani was also in evidence on
Merchant street where he talked with
little groups of the "oid folk" and as
sured little cOterie of Hawaiians with
Democratic leanings that they had nc
use for the kids and could get along
better without them. At all events
they were not going to bother any more
about them"
1t was again stated positively by
those close to Prince Cupid that he
would only accept a nomination as the
head of an organization entirely apart
dropped on the street the line of Will
coX's next argument against the bolt
ers will turn on the question of theil
being complete renegades. They viii
be accused of having made the split
not to help the people but at the IN
stance of either the Democratic or Re
publican parties probably the latter
and of having accepted money from
these parties in order to split the Home
Rule part and cOrrespOndingly increase
the Republican. While accusing tn,
leaders of bribery in this fashion it il
said that Wilcox is advising the ad
herents of the reform party that the!
have been bought and sold merely Il
aid the haole Republicans and pu
money in the pockets of their lead
erS.
There will be a general meeting o
the refOrmers this evening at sever
o'clock when it is anticipated that tn
: new platform will be adopted and tn
party decided upon. The name sug
gested so far for the new party whicl
now seems imminent in view or tn
ignoring of their time limit as set 70
making terms of peace by Wilcox, i
the Hawaiian Independent. The ru
, mors of candidates for delegacy unde
the Republican party have strengthen
ed the position of those who still hop
for a reconciliation. The others de
clare that if Cupid does not run, tn
new Independent party will vote 70
the Republican candidate, providing n
is a good man. That the candidate
, must also be a native is foregone es
sential.
