ROAD WORK
AND GARBAGE
WOULD CONSOLIDATE
THE DEPARTMENTS
FIGHT TO RETAIN POSITION.

Charley Wilson'S fight for his position
as road supervisor is still being kept
up. Wilson has A. G. NJ. Robertson
and T. McCants stewart for advisers.
A claim has been advanced that the
Republican Executive committee meet
ing at which action was taken against
Wilson was not regular under the rules
partly because W. H. Hogs and J. A.
Gilman voted on the proposition as
holders of proxies for members on other
island.
Superintendent Holloway did not
make the appointment of Sam Johnson
yesterday, as has been stated. This
morning he said that he was to hear
from Robertson and wanted to hear
what the latter had to say before act
ing Holloway has, however, removed
Wilson and is understood to want
Johnson for the position. 1t is the
superintendent plan to consolidate
the garbage and road departments and
have Johnson run both. This abolishes
the position of garbage superintendent
altogether and will save one salary.
This morning the following notice
was served on Senator Crabbe, chair
man of the Republican committe, by
McCants Stewart
ITO the Hon. Clarence L .Crabbe,
Chairman Of the Executive Committee
of the Republican Territorial Central
Committee of the Territory of Hawaii.
Sir: hereby claim, that there has been
no compliance with Governor Carter's
request, that your committee pass up
on the matter of my continuance in the
office of Road Supervisor of the Dis
trict of Honolulu; and I respectfully
request you to lay the same before said
committee at the earliest possible day.
II am legally advised that the deci
sion against my continuance in said
office which was reached on the 19Un
instant, was not regular or legal for
the reason that it was secured by a
vote participated in by the following
persons who have no right to vote in
said committee, and whose votes were
| adverse to me, namely: Messrs Joseph
| A. Gilman, and w. H. Hogs; and, also
| by Henry c. Vida, an interested party.
1T is provided in the Rules and Reg
/ ulations of the Republican party, Arti-
Gle " Section 4, that a proxy in the
| l1ASNuNlNG COMMITTEE Ccih NC lltlu Olly
( by a member of the Territorial Central
| Committee.
Now said w. H. Hogs is not a
member of the Territorial Central Com
mittee and can not therefore, hold a
proxy in the Executive Committee; and
said Joseph A. Gilman, although, as
, Treasurer he is ex-officio a member of
the Executive Committee, yet the rules
| expressly provide that he can not vote
| article " Section 2.)
Il further claim, that Mr.. Henry c..
| Vida is disqualified by virtue of his in
terest in the matter of my continuance
in office, he being named for and being
willing to accept the position of Assist
ant Road Supervisor in the event of
my displacement.
"These three persons, together with
one other, caused said decision to be
! against me, and these matters, have
come to my knowledge since said de-
cision.
Il am entitled to a fair and an inn
partial judgment from the regular
party organization. and I, therefore res.
! pectfully request you to advise the
! Superintendent of Public Works of the
issue, which I now raise, and to call a
meeting of the executive committee tc
comply with the request of Governor
Carter Very respectfully,
CHARLES b. WILSON"
