judicial aspirants out i'm Hawaii are not
losing sight of the Circuit plum, which

recommendations have been coming to
the Department OF Justice. particular

said to be a half aozen OF candidates
in the race, but the Department refuses
to make public any of the names. In
compliance with a long established rule

the city aware OF what the candidates
are doing.

HAYWOOD COMING HERE.
Hon. William Haywood telegraphed
some of his friends in Hawaii by the
last steamer that he intended to make
a trip to Hawaii. He plans sailing on
1.-THE Korea and may make quite a stay
in the island. The small Hawaiian con-
tingent in town are entertaining view

Republican ticket. He has been very
efficient man here in his place as rep
resentative of the Planters Associa-

with the WAYS of securing legislation,
and Furthermore has the confidence OF
the people in autnority in the legisla-
tive and executive departments OF the
government. His great familiarity with
Hawaii is another factor to his credit

/ However, Dir. Haywood, so far as
known. cherishes no such ambition Tor

in touch with the people in Hawaii and
may have something TO say during the
campaign in behalf Of his friends. i

questing that the Supervising architect
of the Treasury, Mr.. James X. Taylor

condition Of the postofIice buildings at
Honolulu and Hilo, as authorized py
the recent act OF Congress. Secretary
