GOV, CARTER
At WHITE
HOUSE
(Mail Special to the Advertiser

| Chicago and is guest at the New WIZ
lard Hotel. After arriving at San Fran
| cisco he went to Seattle and then TO
Chicago and proposes TO remain here
| for several days, going to Chicago again
about the middle of next week. He has
| been quite busy here, looking after va
rous interests of the territory and meet
| ing old friends.
AT Chicago he met with officials of the
| National Committee already on the
ground. They had considerable con-
Germ about the attendance of Col. Sam
/ Parker, national committeeman, because
of the hearing on the important contest
from Wisconsin. 1t looks as though the
committee might be very closely divided
and Col Parker is wanted there the
worst way, or somebody with his proxy.
Gov. Carter was unable to state with
exactness what Col Parker's program
not arrive in Chicago in time TO be
present at the hearing of the Wisconsin
contest Gov. Carter hopes to be able to
secure the Colonel's proxy.
The officials had little fun with Gov.
Carter who was anxious to acquire irl-
| formation about the methods of proce-
dure in national convention. In what
order will Hawaii be called?" the Gov
ernor asked one of the committee Off
cals. rs it the custom for the chair
man OF the delegation to announce the
vote of the delegation"
Don't you worry about Hawaii" was
the reply. There won't be any oppor-
tunity for Hawaii to vote at all. We
are going TO nominate Roosevelt by ac-
clamation.
There is nothing particularly new
about the condition as to National COM
mitteeman, not already known i'll Ha-
wall
Gov Carter was disappointed in miss
ing Delegate Kalanianaole, as. he hoped
TO meet him on the mainland for consult
alton about the judgeships and other ter
ritoral matters Up to today lie had
heard nothing whatever from him.
STUDY OF LEPROSY.
Before he returns Gov Carter intends
to see DR.. Walter Wyman, surgeon gen
eral of the Marine Hospital service, and
urge upon him the necessity of an ap-
preparation for scientific study of leprosy.
He regards any effort to cure that dis
ease as in the interests of humanity in
the surgeon general to cooperate with
him in securing the necessary funds.
Il have no fear whatever said the
Governor today, that in asking Con-
gress for funds to undertake such hui
name work we run the risk of making
| Hawaii a general resort for lepers from
the Mainland. There is a distinct differ
cncc between asking Congress to appro-
pirate for such scientific work and
asking Congress to assume the expense
of supporting the colony at Molokai.'
Gov. Carter also intends to urge at
the engineers Office of the War Depart
ment and in other influential quarters the
need OF funds for dredging Honolulu
harbor He has conferred on this subj
with Mr.. William Haywood, who has
given it much attention.
Mr. Haywood and Mrs. Haywood and
their children leave here next Wednes-
day for Honolulu, where they will re-
main for several weeks. They sail on
the Korea and will be at the Palace Ho-
tel in San Francisco till that boat sails.
The appointment of the Hawaiian
judges will probably be settled next
Monday. Gov Carter was invited to
the White House at 80 o'clock today
and was one of the Presidents guests
at luncheon. Gov. Winthrop, of Porto
Rico. recently appointed. was also one
of the guests. After the luncheon all adj
journed to the rear portico, where they
smoked and talked about affairs. The
President divided his time between Ha-
waii and Porto Rico. He is interested
in having the judgeships disposed OF at
once. Gov Carter assured the President
that there was a question of policy en-
tcring into the appointments. 1t must
be decided whether good men, who have
performed their duty faithfully, should
be entitled to reappointment, or whether
the entire available material should be
selected from i'll making up the appoint
ments.
Mr.. Roosevelt stated at once that he
should depend upon Gov. Carter in those
matters and directed that he confer im-
mediatcly with Solicitor Hoyt OF the
Department OF Justice. After they had
agreed upon what should be done the
President directed that their conclusions
be made known to him, lie will then
make the appointments,
Gov Carter spoke 10 him about the
desire OF the territory for acquisition OF
the armory site and mentioned his wish
To confer with Secretary at War TAFT
about il, as legislation hy Congress would
be necessary He also spoke 20 the
President about the need of an appro
pnauon for improving the hlrhor Of
honolulu Tho President showed I'M
terest I'm both those matters
