There is perhaps the most tense
undercurrent of interest in todays
local voting that has ever characterized
Hawaiian election day and yet there
appeares what might almost be term
ed lick of enthusiasm in the various
precincts 1t may be that the realiza
tion of a close contest in many direc-
tions keeps the crowds silent and
waiting.
One thing is very sure and that Is
that there is not near as much GER
tainty expressed during the casting of
ballots as has heretofore been the case.
There is very little electioneering
going on today that is noticeable.
True, the different candidates are
scooting around in automobiles and
carriages and hacks and many of them,
of all parties, have runners out, but
those who present themselves near
the voting booths are unusually quiet
and there is a remarkable lack of de-
monstration.
But all this is but the significant

burst tonight when the returns begin
coming in.
AT THE HEADQUARTERS.
At the headquarters of the various
parties today there is not the same
hip-hip-hurrah that has been observed
on other election days. The atmos-
phere is pregnant with doubt. No
matter what may be said by indivi-
duals there is no certainty. This
seems to be split ticket year with a
vengeance. Men enthusiastic for
party causes are on the street corners
and elsewhere predicting that the re-
turns will show this man, who seemed
sure, turned down, and the other chap
who was doubtful elected. And so it
goes. There was, also, a lack of any
important roorbachs.
STRONG FOR CATHCART.
From the talk, irrespective of the
gossip of party politicians, the most
reiterated remark this morning was
that Cathcart would be elected. They
were not all Republicans who said
this, they were Democrats and Home
Rulers or Labor Rulers, too. In the
same line of opinion came the sugges-
tion that Hughes was being dropped
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-11-03

by a considerable number, though the
cause, other than his stand on the
liquor question, was not evident.
VOTING QUICKLY.
At noon, as far as the speed in vot-
ing was concerned, it appeared from
general reports that the voting was
steady and swift, about half the voters
in most precincts polling at midday,
though there We're a few precincts
which show signs of having a hard
time to get through by five o'clock
this evening when the polls close.
OVER HALF IN NINTH.
In the Ninth Precinct of the Fourth
District at noon over half of the vot-
ers had cast their ballots, over two
hundred out of less than four hundred
having recorded their opinions.
SLOW IN THE TENTH.
In the Tenth of the Fourth the vot-
ing was slow and the appearances De-
mocratic.
FAST IN THE FOURTH.
At $3.50 O'Clock this morning nearly
three-fourths had voted in the Fourth

FIFTH DISTRICT MIXED.
Intelligence from Fifth District Pre-
cincts has it that that District will
show many more split tickets than the
Fourth, though there are many Re-
publicans being voted for. The re-
suits will show more Republicans
than others elected, but the split ticket
would appear to be the rule over the
river.

The Oahu Railway & Land Company
and the American-Hawaiian Steamship
Company have practically consummat-
ed arrangements whereby the railway
company will at once start the con-
struction of a monster wharf and shed
at the Eva end of the harbOr, makai
and running at right' angles to the
present last long wharf, to cost quar-
ter of a million dollars and to be COM
pleted before March l of next year,
and with exclusive privileges for the
American Hawaiian Steamship Com
pany.
So much has the traffic of general
merchandise increased that the new
wharf and shed are to be built with the
express purpose of accommodating the
merchandise business and so relieve
the congestion that too often occurs
here when a vessel like the Mexican
arrives from the Sound and san fran
cisco, also with New York freight via
Tehuantepec, and cannot find imme-
diate and convenient accommodations
for the thousands of tons of general
mainland cargo
The Mexican, for example, this last
trip down brought an amount OF
freight that could not have been
brought by the steamships Novadan
and Nebraskan combined.
It was not so long ago that the car
goes brought by the Nevadan and the

HARBORS
MUCH ACTIVITY IN THE IMPROVE
MENT OF PORTS ON THE GAR
DEN ISLAND.

The work of providing Kauai with
better harbors for the shipment of SUI
gar is progressing rapidly, according
to Supt. of Public Works Marston
Campbell, who returned from that ISL
and on Saturday, The work being
done in the building of a breakwater
at Eleele, which is being handled by
the Kauai r. X. Co. is being steadi-
ly pushed ahead and the steamers
which call at that port appreciate the
effects of the construction.
At Kealia the Makee Sugar Company
is doing some good work in the break
water line which will ultimately mean
that all the sugar from that company-s
mill will be shipped directly from tnaS
point instead of being sent via Ana
hola The work at Kealia has been
going on for several months and Will
provide quiet water in which the
steamers may anchor very close to the
Makee Sugar Company's mill.

HARR and
BRECKONS
AGENT OF DEPARTMENT OF JUS
TICE HAS INTERVIEW WITH
DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

William H. Harr, the special agent
of the Department of Justice sent to
this city to investigate the charges
made against U. S. District Attorney
Breckons by E. w. Thwing, was To-
Gated this morning. Instead of taking
up his quarters at one of the local ho-
tells he has located at one of the local
boarding houses wnere he has the ben
eft of more tropical scenery and out
door life than would be possible in a
larger place, which was the reason
that he could not be found yesterday.
In response to questions on the man
ner in which the Breckons investiga-
tion would be conducted he said:
AT the present time I cannot say
definitely whether the investigation in
to the charges made by Mr.. Thwing
/ will be conducted in a public manner
or whether | shall work by myself in
private investigation and so gather the
needed information. | cannot say po-
sitively at present just what course I
shall pursue.
| II am here to look thoroughly into
| the matters which have been brought
| up and to make a report in order that
| the Acknowledgement may be fully in
/ formed i'm regard to the situation. OF
! course it is to a certain extent a pub
lie matter, for the entire community is
naturally deeply interested in the man.
ner in which the representative of the
Department of Justice conducts his Of
| flee here. | wish to find out the gen.
eral sentiment of the community in
regard to certain matters for the in
formation of the Attorney-General.
NO, l have been given no instruc-
tions in regard to looking the Kepoi-
kai matter, in fact never heard of IT
till you just mentioned it. OF course
while it is Federal matter, it is one
which would not come directly under
the Department of Justice, being ra-
ther a matter which would be taken
up by the Department of the Interior
1t might be that, since l am on the
ground, further instructions might be
sent me to make a report on the sub
ject, but as say it is something which
is absolutely new to me-"
While the name of Rev f. w
Thwing appeared this morning in the
passenger list of the Siberia as one OF
those who left this city for the Orient
the reverend gentleman is still in the
city He could not be found this
morning, probably being busy in cele-
brating the birthday of the Emperor
of Japan with some of the children
from his mission schools When ask
ed for information in regard to
! Thwing's movement, Theodore Rich
ards stated that he was still mere and
would stand by his guns till the IN
vestigation was completed.
Mr.. Richards stated that Thwinl
had twenty-five charges all worked III
in proper shape for presentation ant
that he was ready to place them be
fore Mr.. Harr whenever the latter de
sired. Mr.. Richards also stated tina
he was to meet Mr.. Harr this after

their size and it was wondered how
what they fetched could be accommo-
dated, and now the Mexican is bring
ing enough each trip to put it all over
the combined cargoes of the Neyadan
and Nebraskan.
1t is certain that the new wharf
and shed referred to will be construct
ed and that work will start at once, al
though the final papers have not been
signed.
There is room and water enough at
the place designated to take a wharf
six hundred feet in length. The shed
will be inclosed and will be spacious,
able to hold more than any other shed
on the waterfront. 1t will be so con-
structed that it can be thrown open all
around and drays to the number re-
quired to handle big shipment quick
ly can be admitted from three sides
The construction of this wharf Is
to be rushed and at the same time the
best possible workmanship will pre-
vail.
The oahu Railway & Land Company
has all details in It's hands and pur-
poses making the new structure a Gre
dit to the harbor and to the Terri
tory.
This big work will be a little ahead
of the times, for there looms up the
greater traffic to come with the open
ing of the Panama canal and such an
improvement, to endure, must anti
cipate increased traffic.
