COMBINATION BROKEN
CONTINUED from mage one.

Attorneys are very generally of the
opinion that Judge Robinson will Sc
cure a reappointment now. Last week
few could be found who thought he
had any chance. The news that there
is to be an investigation at Washington
has turned them nearly all the other
way, and they are practically a unit in
declaring that the judge is bound to
be sustained.
Judge Robinson said this morning
that an error had been made in quoting
him on the subject of the investigation,
in the Advertiser yesterday morning.
1T was a telephone interview. and 1
must have been misunderstood he
said. 81 was made to say that I ad-
mitted having been guilty of an indis-
erection, but that it should not wipe out
four years good record. What in
tended to say was that even if it
should be conceded that l was guilty
of an indiscretion-whic l do not at
all concede,-such an indiscretion
should not wipe out the record of four
years.
81 have not heard any further news

The judges term expires tomorrow
and there will be an interim with only
two circuit judges here. The criminal
calendar will be turned over to Judge
Lindsay, while Judge De Bolt will keep
on with the civil calendar
Considerable discussion is on among
al fo, 10 ha ~ In,
volved in Anderson's acceptance of a
recommendation as against Robinson
after he had attended meeting of the
Bar Association and voted to endorse
Robinson. The acceptance it is said,
was on the theory that Robinson s
chances were ended. On a former oc-
casion Anderson declined a recommen-
dation, because the Bar had endorsed
Robinson and Carter proceeded to en-
dorse Robinson. Carter's withdrawal
of this endorsement, it is stated, was
regarded as settling Judge Robinson,
hence Anderson was left free to take
recommendation himself. He did
not attend the meeting of TIE Bar last
Saturday.
District Attorney Breckons may be
reason of his having expressed him
self and voted on Robinson's endorse
ment Breckons has been a supporter
of the judge from the first, and he vot-
ed to re-endOrse him at the met ting
last Saturday. 1t was Breckons, i'm fact
who called for a rising vote. 1t is
not at all unlikely, however, that he
will be called upon 10 investigate and
report.
Another feature of the proposition
considerably discussed is that the ac-
ton at Washington marks the end of
the Carter Roosevelt combination. The
President has apparently withdrawn
from the agreement so long maintain
ed, to take Carriers word as final in
the matter of Hawaiian appointments,
and even if he should finally follow
Carriers advice now, enough has hap
pened to show that the combination is
broken. This is a natural cause of
jubilation among the governors politi-
cal opponents. The other faction of
the local Republican party may have
a chance to be heard.
There is a quite general impression
that the governor will resign his office
If opposed by Roosevelt. 1t is under
stood that one OF the conditions on
which he took the office was that he
should have full sway as to appoint
ments, and Roosevelt has shown the
utmost confidence up to this time. In
fact, it is stated by some, there is
more reason for resignation as mat
tiers already stand, than there was last
June when Carter offered to withdraw
from the office.
Governor Carter returned to his Of
flee this morning from Haleiwa, max
ing the trip with Mrs. Carter, In his
new automobile, 1t Is a very fine ma
chine and made the trip in two hours
and five minutes. The governor APP
peared I'm excellent health and spirits
and said the trip had been a fine one.
