WILL. LET
CARTER GO
ON ALONE

HoME RULERS will not send an
4 emissary TO Washington to at
tempt to counteract the influence
! OF Senator George r. Carter, if the rec
| concentrations OF the committee ap-
pointed yesterday to consider and re-
port upon the matter are permitted to
| lead. After giving long and thorough
| consideration to the proposition yes
| terday afternoon it was decided by the
| three men chosen for the service that
| such a course WIS not advisable.
The Sunday morning session of the
executive committee of the Home Rul-
ers was a well attended meeting. and
the action taken was after long and
fun debate. The proposition which
came before the meeting was whether
or not there should be sent to the Cap
ital a man who could present the situa-
ton to the President as it appears in
the eyes of the Home Rulers. 1t de-
veloped in the discussion that the
statement of Senator Carter, that he
would welcome suggestions and facts
from men of every shade of political
opinion, had aroused in the minds of
some of the members of the committee
the idea that their party, instead of
giving views to Senator Carter, should
send on some person commissioned to
see the President and set before him
all that he should know as to the sit
uation.
During the talks it was shown that
the conservative sentiment of the
members present was that there will
be q successor to Governor Dole ap-
pointed very soon, but that without
Il L III
sequently there could be little effected
by the sending of Home Rule COM
missioner.
Some of the speakers did not agree
with the proposition that the office
should be given to a native Republican,
but they favored rather the selection Of
some one intimately connected with the
old order of things. 1t was deemed ad-
visable, however, that there should be
serious consideration given to the mat
ter of sending on such a commission as
had been proposed, and the result was
the passage of a resolution providing
for a committee to consider the mat
ter. This committee. as named. con-
sisted of Prince Cupid, Senator Kalau-
okalani and Representative Emnieluth.
AS Prince Cupid was not present, the
committee was given power to act, and
the two members present were to noti-
fly Prince Cupid.
The committee met during the after
noon at the Waikiki residence of the
Prince and a long session was held. The
matter first narrows itself down to
question of men. There We're few
available members of the party. Mr..
Emmeluth could not leave his business
and when the matter was passed up to
the Prince it was seen that there
would be some question as to the value
of his services, owing to the fact that
his brother is the son-in-law of Colonel /,
Parker.
Senator Carter's mission was discuss
ed, and it was decided that his repre-
sentations would be fair, making the |
natural allowances for his affiliations
with the other party, and so it was
decided by the committee that every |
thing should be left in the hands of /
Delegate Wilcox. The committee will /
report against the advisability of send |
ing any one from here especially to ,
take up the matters to be covered in I
the report which Senator Carter will
make, but it may advise the sending /
Of special letters to the Delegate.
Wilcox is believed to be able to secure !
the ear of President Roosevelt, and he I
will keep close watch of the situation, (
so as to make a statement when that
Of the visitor from the city shall have
been heard by the Chief Executive.
