Home Rule is split and the fracture
Is wide. The placing upon the Fifth
district ticket of the name of Ng Mon
War, the notorious Chinese attorney
admitted to the bar by Humphreys,
proved too much for some of the others
on the ticket, and there was revolt
from the dictatorship of Caypless and
Wilcox.
The rebellion took the form during
yesterday afternoon of the absolute
withdrawal from the ticket of William
Mossman. When he raised the stand
ard of revolt he was Joined by Kou,
Oil and Da.maino, leaving on the side
of the Chinese only D. M. Kupihea, but
later the three who had at first gone
out, went back and only Mossman
stood his ground. Notice was served
on him by Wilcox that he had been
given ten days to reconsider his de-
cision, failing which the next highest
candidate for the nomination, j. K.
Paele, would be put on the ticket.
:. The conventions were held in the
headquarters of the party in Maunalea
street. The Fourth district members
met first and they had little trouble in
getting together. The balloting for
candidates on the ticket resulted as fol-
lows: Joseph Aea 80. L. K. Kentwell
81, John D. Holt q, D. Kaona and Chas.
Mccarthy "a, L Nauha 81. The others
running and their votes were as fol-
lows: S. K Kawakaia IA, L. w. P. Ka-
MALI II, D. Motley L, Lapana 4, w. H.
Kapu 8. P. Haiole 2, ]. P. Hine 1.
While the Fourth district men We're
meeting the Fifth district delegates
were enjoying the hospitality of Ng
Mon War, and when the convention
was called to order at the conclusion
OF the Fourth district meeting, it was
for lively session. When nominations
were called there We're "a men put be-
fore the convention and after ballot
printing the following were nominated:
William Mossman 43, Ng Mon War 81,
D. NJ. Kupihea S4, S. K. Oil "a, NJ. K.
lou 20, D. Damiano "a. The vote for
the others was as follows: ]. K. Paele
%. Asa Kaulia 8. VIM. Ringer {, J. K.
Prendergast 6, S. K. Mahoe 5, ]. A.
Baker 5, j. NJ. Kealoha 4, Geo. K. Kaia

neihelau 2, D. w. Kamaliikane 1, S.
Pua, Kaukali'u A. K Williams, NJ. K.
Nakuina and H. Kauaihilo, o. In both
Instances D. Kalauokalani Sr. presided
and swore the delegates to vote for the
best men.
After. the conventions there was
much hot talk. The Home Rule party
was declared by some to have been sold
out TO the 'pakes. and there was dis
cussion as to the wisdom of holding
another Fifth district convention.
Mossman announced his resignation
in writing to a mass meeting of Home
Rulers held in Waverley Hall last
evening He was not alone in his bolt
and objection to Ng Mon War, but
prominent Hawaiians in the crowd ex-
pressed their dissatisfaction that
Chinese of Mon Wars stamp should be
placed on the ticket. William Ringer
left the hall in disgust when Kalauo-
kalani and Wilcox declared that Ng
Mon &c crnnd az the rest of
them, and he declared that scores of
votes would be taken away from the
ticket.
Last nights meeting was to ratify
the ticket just nominated. The two
Democrats, Mccarthy and Holt, spoke
with the rest of the nominees, but
