will be laid before the committee the
resignation Of w. J. Coelho OF the
Fifth district, member of the central
and executive committees
This fact became gossip on the streets
yesterday but could not be confirmed.
Mr. Coelho has been employed as in
terpreter Of the courts recently. hay
ing served in that capacity on Maui
No reason was assigned for his with
drawal from the committee At this
time. Members on the committee from
the Fifth district have been In consul
tation over a probable successor and
while they have come to no decision
there have been considered no names
other than those of leading Hawaiians,
and 1t is undoubted that the new mem
Der will be such a one who will add
strength to the committee in the Fifth
district.
Another problem before the commit
tee on Saturday evening will be the
filling Of the position of chairman of
the committee. There is still a chance
that John c. Lane will withdraw his
resignation and that his name will be
proposed for the vacant headship. He
will have many friends in the race. but
there may be opposition. j. II. Fisher
denies that he is a candidate. The
name of A, G.. NJ. Robertson Is being
discussed, though that member of the
committee says he has no ambitions in
that direction. y. T. Cooke also says
he Will not make a fight for the place.
Friday evening there will be held the
first public meeting of the campaign,
II being under the auspices of the Sec
ond Precinct Republican Club, to be
held at the tent on the corner OF PHI
koi and LunalilO streets. There will
be a list of speakers, including the
leaders of the party, and those who
VIII take an active part on the stump
during the coming campaign.
There Will be a meeting OF Portuguese
young men at Concordia Hall this even
ing, for the purpose of forming a po-
litical club. Some of the men declare
that they will not be AFFILIATED with
either party, owing to their present de-
sire to get into line first. later joining
one of the organizations. while others
declare as stoutly that the club will be
Democratic or Republican, as the case
may be.
There is some discussion of forming
"A marching club of Republicans for the
purpose of having a uniformed club to
act as escorts during the campaign for
any speakers who may be announced
for particular meetings.
