Exposition, May is to p. The press
congress is regarded by the fair man
agement as one of the most important
features, and the managers have sent
numerous letters here urging that
Hawaii make an effort to send a rep
resentative. Six special invitations
were received here from the president,

ed invitations the following resolution

where papers are published. It's delib-

Fred w. Macfarlane commissioner to
the st. Louis Exposition for Hawaii,
Is delighted with the prospect of Ha-
wall being represented at the approach
ing Press Congress which opens at st.
Louis May C.
'I am more than pleased" said Com
missioner Macfarlane this morning
over the fact that the press of Homo
lulu have chosen some one as their
representative at the st. Louis Expo
sition. I regard this gathering as one
which likely to prove notable in every
respect and one to which it is both a
privilege to attend, as well as to be
represented. The Administration and
the St. Louis Exposition management
realize the immense influence that the
press eXerts TODAY and they plan tC
make this gathering of journalists the
p most notable of the kind that has evel
been held. Leading journalists from
all parts of the world will gather a.
the Congress and exchange their views
on their own profession as well as In
irrational affairs. Such a gathering
can not fail to prove of immense bene
fit to all those who attend it as dele
gates as well as to the section whic
= they represent.
Every previous effort to get some re
presentation to the Exposition iron
Hawaii failed, and am in. consequence
especially delighted that this measur
of sending a delegate from Hawaii Il
this Press Congress, has been success
full. Our representative will enable u
to have some sort of representative a
the Exposition and that his presenc,
in meeting people there will, advertise
and aid Hawaii, l am certain.
The selection of Frank L. Hoogs o
the Star by the local members of tn,
press to represent them at the Con
gress, meets with my own as well a!
p the general favor of all those mer
t chants who are especially interested il
= seeing such a representative go to st
Louis.
- The Congress opens at st. Loui
, May 16 and will last for one week.
do not know the exact nature of III
program but every effort is to be mad,
to have the congress a success. The eX
position management will simply outdo
themselves to render the stay of tn,
press enjoyable. There will, no doubt
be opening exercises with addresses
] and so FORTH after which the time o
, the delegates to the Congress, will bt
fully occupied by the program that ha!
been prepared for them"
