HAS HAD
ENOUGH
WILCOX
LiIiuOkaIani Finds
the Delegate
Wanting.

though no source of the talk
could be traced the statements made
by the members of the Hui Kuokoa
were so positive that 1t appeared TO
nave substantial foundation.
The comment set out with a degree
of detail a conversation that the for
mer Queen had with a member OF the
new party, In which the ground had
been traversed, covering the recent po-
litical upheaval and the prospects of
the various candidates whose names
have been mentioned. According to 1t,
Liliuokalani told her caller that she
had made a close study of the Delegate
during the past winter and spring. and
that he had proved utterly useless to
the people of the Territory of Hawaii.
Tramways and Ditch bill she said.
occupied his mind 30 the eA' fusion of
all matters relating to the pubic @oni.
and according tu the opinion l,rgutcu
to her the services of the DELEGATE
were Without value either in that d.
rcction or in any other. AS to herself,
where she had a great many friends
ready to assist her in the prosecution of
her claim for consideration FOR the
crown lands. she is reported TO nave
said that the Hawaiian Delegate utter
~ Ignored her claims and in no way
ondrayUred to advance her cause. For
this reason she believes the interests
of the people viii be best served by the
defeat Of Wilcox for further honors in
the way of national representation, and
she is ready II support some better
candidate of her people
The second stage Of the gossip of the
politicians is even more vague, I; be-
ing reported that the X-Queen has de-
clared that the best man for the Dele
gateship Is j. q. Carter. While she
has not reached the stage Of making
fight for the nomination of her bust
ness representative, she thinks If union
can be had on him there will be given
to the Territory representative who
would be conservative and useful, and
that the people might be confident that
they would have some one at the Capt.
tai who would give his time to their
interests, instead of some special mat
tiers affecting private corporations en-
tirely.
Prince Cupid 1t was reported by some
of his followers yesterday, made a
declaration that he preferred to stay in
Hawaii than to go to Washington. He
is said to have the opinion that he
could be Of more service to his country
and countrymen by staying here and
giving his time and attention to local
legislation than by entering the Nation
al Congress. This has been his inclina-
ton throughout the entire fight and he
is reported to be favorable to the Sc
lection of some other than himself to
lead the Hui Kuokoa in the coming
campaign.
Many conferences We're held yester-
day between the members of the or
ganization committee of the new party
and as a result the canvass and the
preparations for the struggle are now
well under way. The enrolment blanks
are in such shape that there will be n
supply of them in the hands of one
representative of the committee in each
precinct before the end of the week,
and the people at headquarters are pre-
pairing and sending out statements of
the situation all the time.
The first work was done yesterday on
the preparation of the matter for the
new journal which is to be the organ
of the Hui Kuokoa. The intention is
to issue a weekly paper in the YER
nacular, the first number to appear sat
urday of this week. Solomon Meheula,
who was the first editor of the hapa-
haole newspaper of the Delegates, will
be the editor of the journal, and will
have the assistance of Nakookoo and
| others i'm the writing of the news mat
| ter and opinion. The paper will be
| sent broadcast for the purpose of put
| ting the young men right in the eyes
| of the public, and the expectation Is
! that there will be an important per
| sonal statement from the president OF
the new party as its salutatory.
Among the matters discussed yesteT-
day was the course to be followed In
! the local fights. 1t was the opinion OF
the majority of those present at the in
| formal talks that the proper course
would be 10 make the Legislative nomi-
nations strictly on the basis indicated
| by the name of the party. This would
| mean the nomination of two Republi-
| cans, two Democrats and two Home
! Rulers in each of the districts of this
| island. This same course would be
| recommended TO the Kuokoans Of the
other islands of the group and the re-
| suit would be to get before the people
only the very best and most available
men for the places in the lower house.
Az to the Scholarships, the names
| which are mentioned so far are of Re-
| publicans. In the Fifth District the
names of John G. Lane and Enoch
Johnson are being considered, and in
| the Fourth, A. q. NJ. Robert son and A.
l.. C. Atkinson. Owing to the fact that
the party bolted the Homo Rulers on
| the grounds that there was no real
home rule in its management, there
| will be no dictation or suggestion from
| the headquarters here 3s to the nomi-
nations in other districts, but each ISL
and will be expected to name it's own
men. The discussions of men have
| been only informal, owing to the belief
OF the committeeman that the first
thing is the making of an organization,
so that there may be no question OF the
having Of some votes, the candidate
| selected, and then the conventions of
/ the party will b.. held and their choice
