For more than an hour the Commit
tee on Credentials struggled in the per-
formance of their duty. When the
vote for the admission OF Palau or Wat
son was taken, a tie was the result
and one of the committee. who hap
pened to have a dollar on him, tossed
1t for decision. Watson was the
lucky man.
The report OF the committee was
handed to Chairman Harris at IL
o'clock. 1t reported favorably to the
delegates with the additional statement
that Palau had withdrawn. Report
was adopted.
Mr.. Kaleiopu said 1t was not in prop
er form, having been signed by the
secretary instead of the chairman.
Mr.. Murray volunteered to step to the
platform and sign so as to avoid delay
and 1t was then adopted.

also ran.
One enthusiastic Vida man called on
JACK kalakiela to accept pointer and
your pointer; If it's a good one, 1 will
withdraw" The pointer not forthcom-

the work of the regularly elected dele
