FOR SUPERVISORS AT LARGE: JAMES H, BOYD,
CHARLES MOTLEY. ABRAHAM FERNANDEZ.

The fatted calf was killed for James
H. Boyd this morning at the Orpheum.
The Home Rule delegates to the county
convention dressed the dish and served
it in the form of a nomination for SUI
pervisor at large. Boyd nearly swept
the convention off it's feet and received
all but two of the votes cast.
The entire morning deliberations of
the Home Rule conv ention today were
occupied with the selection of supervis-
ors at large. Boyd, Charles Motley and
Abraham Fernandez were nominated.
No other nominations were reached.
The convention placed itself on rec
ord in the matter of nominating or en-
dorsing any body who had not taken
the oath of fealty to the party. An at
tempt was made to nominate Frank
Harvey, one of the Democratic NOM
inees for supervisor at large on the
Home Rule ticket The delegates sim
ply rose on their launches and howled
against the scheme. Harvey was turn
ed down. the same action would prob
ably have been taken with any other
person who had failed to enrol himself
as a Home Ruler. The other nominal
tions will be taken up this afternoon.
Although the convention was sup
it was 40 minutes after that hour be-
fore President Kalauokalanl called the
delegates to their seats. Long before
that time however John Wise had been
very busy man button-holing the
various delegates for the purpose of
securing their pledges to endorse c. ].
Mccarthy the Democratic nominee for
supervisor in the Fourth district.
Wise was very much in favor of en-
dorsing his former political bedfellow
but there was considerable opposition
to the scheme. In fact the delegates
opposed to the endorsement seemed to
think that they did not care to have
any affiliations with anybody not of
the Home Rule Party. At the OPEN
ing of the convention, the indications
were that James H. Boyd would MUNICH
the supervisoral persimmon for super
visor at large, from the Home Rule
Christmas tree. At the same time
there was sentiment that A. Fernan-
dez would be the best man to run as
supervisor at large. Many of the
delegate expressed the opinion that it
would be wiser to leave the nominal
tion of treasurer open, and by implca-
tlOn endorse >. E. Damon!
Rev. Samuel Kamakaia delivered the
opening prayer, after which the minu-
tes of the previous session of yesterday
were read and approved.
Representative Jonah Kumalae was
put on record Immediately following
the approval of the minutes. In a
communication he announced that
while his name had been mentioned as
possible candidate on the ticket he
did not care to have his name pre-
sented. He would not run but he
would support the entire ticket. This
announcement pleased the audience
greatly and the Home Rule whale pro-
oeeded to swallow Jonah by spreading
the communication on the minutes.
Immediately following this action
an attempt was made to break the Ka-
lauokalani slate by dumping the nom
ination of young D. Kalauokalani Jr.,
as county clerk which had been made
at last nights session. John Wise had
moved a suspension of the rules, but
he made the technical mistake of ad-
dressing the chair as "Mr. President"
so Moses Kaaikaula who gave the
chair the proper title was given the
floor
Kaaikaula then began the attack on
young Kalauokalani. He said that he
had understood that there were to be
two candidates at the convention last
night for the nomination of county
clerk but there had, for some reason
been only one. A great many people
had disapproved of the way in which
the nomination had been made and he
thought that as there was much dis
satisfaction that the nomination should
be reconsidered.
Charles Motley opposed this motion,
and contended that the point was not
well taken. No matter what the talk
of candidates had been there had been
only one voted for and this had been
by acclamation. The motion was lost.
Whereupon John Wise renewed his
motion to suspend the rules and con-
slider the nomination of supervisors at
large at once.
Charles Motley spoke against this
action. He moved that the delegates
be chosen from the Fourth district.
His motion was lost. Motley then
moved a recess so that the Fourth dis
trict delegates could caucus Sam Ka-
makaia of the Fourth district arose to
his feet in a rage and declared that
the Fourth district was ready to pro-
ceed. The attempt to block the bal
loting was defeated for the motion to
adjourn was showed under Wise's
