KUHLO'S
INTERVIEW
WHAT HE STATED
REGARDING HIS CANDIDACY To
THE STAR ON TUESDAY.

Tuesday evening last the Star pub
lished an exclusive interview with Dele
gate Kuhio who is now on his way to
Washington, in which interview the
Delegate set out his views clearly as
to the possibility of his own renomina-
ton and as to his support of A. G. NJ.
Robertson, should the latter get the
nomination.
Last evening a contemporary day be-
hind as usual, published rehash of
the Stars interview ending up with the
following statement, which, with rare
mendacty it put in Kuhio's mouth:
Il see an evening paper published
something about me yesterday, but 1
gave no interview. 1 don't know where
it got it's information"
Delegate Kuhio was shown the pa
per's statement this afternoon.
YES 1 saw that" he said, but I
simply supposed that the reporter had
made a mistake. 1 said nothing of the
sort to the man. I met him casually on
Fort street, 1 think it was, and he ask
ed me something about the Stars in
terview. 1 do not recall the exact
words that passed but 1 said, in effect,
that 1 did not know anything about the
Stars interview because 1 had not seen
it. I had not at that time read the in
terview. 1 have read it since and it is
an excellent report Of what 1 said to
the Star representative. There was
nothing in the report published later
which 1 had not already told the Star
as to my position"
The following is the interview which
appeared in the second edition of the
Star on Tuesday Delegate Kuhio hav-
Hawaii. There is absolutely nothing
in the interview published in a con-
temporary day later, that
this does not contain except the I'M
true statement attributed to Kuhio that
he had not given an interview to the
Star. II might indeed have easily been
rewritten from the interview publish
ed the day before in the Star.

why 1 haven't done much in the po-
litical line for many a week past I've
been shooting and fishing and riding
and that's about all. Yes, incidentally
l have gained a pound or two in weight.
What about aspirants for the dele
gateship? You people down here must
know more about that than 1 do.
have seen occasional references to the
matter in some papers and notice that
Governor Carter is credited with a de-
sire for the Republican nomination. 1
have not talked the matter over with
him or with anyone else, but PERSONAL
ly do not think he would want it. My
good friend Alex Robertson has also
been credited with a desire for the
nomination and I have no hesitation
in saying that if he gets it he will have
my heartiest support all the way
through"
The delegate was asked if there was
any truth in the story that he was CO.
quoting with view to still another
denomination.
Il am not working for it at ALL" he
replied "Of course the date is quite a
long way off yet but 1 am not after the
nomination. By the way" he added
Palmer Woods, the lonely Senator who
represents the Democratic party in the
Legislature, asked me the very same
question by phone just before 1 left
Hawaii 1 think Palmer must have
designs on the nomination himself from
the Democratic end"
Delegate Kuhio is going through to
Washington by the northern route as
he wishes to get there in time for the
opening of Congress on December 4,
and the next ship for San Francisco
would land him a trife too late.
Delegate Kuhio sailed this afternoon
on the R. M. S. Aorangi for Vancouver
and will go directly to Washington.
