the National Convention viii be held
at Hilo, probably on April 21st. A new
convention will be held and primaries
called for Saturday. March goth. The
idea of giving the old convention the
power to select delegates was voted
down almost unanimously at the meet
ing of the Republican Central Commit
tee last evening.
Those present holding proxies, or as
members OF the committee, were Chair
man Crabbe. McCandless. Campbell.
Watkins. Gilman, Coney. Lane, Aylett,
Keen, Clark, Hoogs, Jones, Fisher, Achi
and Clark Charlie Clark presented the
proxy of Willard
Mr.. Gilman, to bring the matter of
the convention before the committee
moved that the delegates to the old con-
vention form the convention to select
delegates to the Chicago Republican
National meeting.
Mr.. Gilman said that new primaries
would cost several thousand dollars and
that money was hard to raise at the
present time.
E. G. Keen was doubtful Of the legal
ity of this action, as the functions of
the old convention ended with the nom
ination of delegate and legislators
Achi said that the old convention would
be composed of Home Rulers as we'll
as Republicans. He doubted that the
delegates from here would be received
Norman Watkins said they would, if
given proper credentials by the Ter
ritorial committee. Mr.. Gilman stated
that there was no one to contest such
action, the National, Committeeman had
stated that he would be satisfied with
the acts of the Central Committee He
thought the principal difficulty would
be in getting men willing to bear the
expenses of the trip, for the honor there
was in it. Fisher was of the same opin-
ion. He thought the committee could
settle any technical objection, by ap-

was 10th to tell anything of what oc-
Cured in Port Arthur. He, however,
gave some information as to the posi-
ton of the vessels as they were when
he left, and says that the Russians
were taken entirely by surprise, and
that it was through the culpable negli-
gence of the Admiral in command,
which led to the disastrous series of
enga gements for the Russians.
Il am not at liberty to give any de-
tails" said Mr. Rigby, "as I have been

late hour, when suddenly we heard the
firing of guns. This did not startle
us at first. but when the firing con-
tinued there seemed to be something
unusual taking place. We heard sew
eral explosions.
Later it became plain to us that
the japanese had made an attack with
their torpedo boats only. The battle

she had been torpedoed. The cruiser

pointing the present delegates as dele
gates TO the new convention.
Aylett wanted a new convention. ana
said there would be no expense He did
not believe primaries would cost any,
thing. Lane also took that view. Ay-
lett said he didn't want to take anv
chances on the National Committeeman
not objecting. Fisher said only the
member of a contesting delegation
could make a protest over the manner
of election. Achi thought there would
MT be any expense and Crabbe told him
that the precinct clubs had got fifty
and hundred dollars apiece from the
committee for primaries in the past

would like to know what became of
it then" replied Crabbe.
Aehi said if they wanted to save ex-
pense, the chairman might appoint the
six delegates, but era bbe declined the
honor.
Outsiders We're told that they could
give their opinion and Joe Cohen said
that more people were buzzing to go
to this convention than any one sus-
pected. These were likely 20 raise OBJ
lection if they were not elected. Nc
Cants Stewart said that the rules of the
party compelled the calling of new
primaries. He said that if there was
MT a eontesting delegation sent from
here there would be a protest, If the
call was irregular. He said money had
too much influence with the party be-
fore and that expense shouldn't cut any
figure.
McCandless thought ii was a serious
thing and the committee should see
that all parties were satisfied and avoid
any question of a contest. Some time
Hawaii might have a good deal to say
in national conventions and it was best
not to take chances. The party here
favored Roosevelt and the best way
was to do everything properly. Maybe
there were influences here against
Roosevelt, but he hadn't seen any as
yet. Fisher said that if the rules pro-
vided for new convention, one should
be held. Gilman said he offered his mo-
ton to bring the matter before the
meeting and he thought the majority
should rule. AS it seemed to be the
sense of the committee that primaries
should be called, he withdrew his reso-
Iution.
On the motion of Mr.. Fisher the
chairman was authorized to call prima-
ries and a convention for the purpose
of electing delegates to the National
Convention. The motion was passed
unanimously and Chairman Crabbe an
nounced that the primaries would prob
ably be held Saturday. March 26th, and
the convention probably April 21st.
Senator Crabbe then suggested that
Hilo be named as the next convention
city, as a partial pledge to that effect
had already been given. z. G.. Keen
made a motion to that effect. Achi
moved that the convention go to Wal
luku- On a vote only Achi and Lane
voted for Wailuku and Hilo received
sixteen votes.
