TRADE TO FOLLOW THE YACHTS
Los Angeles, Seattle,
San Pedro and San
Diego Men So State.

The commercial side of the recent
transpacife contest among the yachts
of the Coast and Hawaii was dealt
with yesterday by various speakers at
the luncheon given to the visiting
yachtsmen by the members of the
Commercial Club, at which were pres.
ent the owners. officers and crews of
the four racing crafts, the officers of
the Hawaii Yacht Club and a number
of citizens. who were seated at the
large central dining table. The club
dining room was decorated with signal
flags, while miniature yacht "No Ex-
euse,' with all sails set, and red,
white and blue asters formed the table
decorations.
Following the luncheon, Commodore
Sinclair, representing the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce, spoke of the
benefits to accrue to both Honolulu and
his own city as result of the friendly
relations brought about by the two
transpaeife races, delivering a mes
sage to the commercial bodies of Ha-
waii from the commercial bodies of
Los Angeles.
George W. Smith, president of the
Commercial Club, presided at the
luncheon, with him at the head table
being Commodore Sinclair, Commodore
Wilder, W. Fl. McInerny, Judge San
ford B. Dole and Captain Lew B. Har-
ris and Mr. Poole, the latter a repre-
sentative of the San Pedro Chamber
of Commerce. After a short weIcom-
ing address, Chairman Smith called up
on Commodore Sinclair, the WHINE of
the race and the representative of Los
Angeles.
Mr.. Sinclair stated in beginning that
the transpaeife races, begun purely as
sporting event, had been made pos
sibIe by the aid of the commercial
bodies of Los Angeles and would have
as an effect the bringing of the com
munities closer together in trade
sense. The Los Angeles Chamber of
Commerce insisted on a Los Angeles
entry in the race to show the people
of Hawaii that their efforts were APP
preciated
The Los Angeles Chamber, he said,
sent through him its warmest greet.
ings to the commercial bodies of Ho-
nolulu, with the desire that the two
cities might establish closer relations
one with the other For years Ho-
nolulu had been very close to San
Francisco and recently trade relations
had been formed with Seattle, both
of whom had great advantages now
over Los Angeles. That city had but
recently budded into cityhood and was
now reaching out for trade, having
united herself with San Pedro and Sc
curing a harbor. Now with her har-
Dor she wanted ships and busi ness and
Hawaii offers the biggest block of any
place in sight. His city did not ex.
pect to supplant San Francisco, but it
wanted some share of the Hawaiian
trade and had something to offer in ex-
change.
This was the tourist traffic. Los An
geies was recognized as the tourist
center and a steamship line running
from San Pedro to Honolulu would tap
the artery of this trade at its best

First OF All Signed Several Thou
sand Letters in Response to
CongratuIatory kilograms.
CAME FROM ALL OVER WORLD
As Yet He Has Made No Choice for
Chairman of the Republican
National Committee.

Washington, July 1.--Secy OF War
Taft today relinquished to other hands
the reins of official position and once
more became private citizen.
After having been executive head of
the war department for four years and
five months, he retires now to under
take the duties and responsibilities OF
candidate for the presidency.
Mr.. Taft's final duty at the war de-
partment was the deputation of his sue
cessor, Luke f. Wright. He said he
regarded 1t as not merely duty, but a
pleasure to induct Gen. Wright into his
new office and to start him on the way
he should GO
His routine campaign work began to-
day. 1t was commonplace enough in
way as 1t consisted of signing sew
eral thousands of letters which he had
written in response to congratulatory
messages received by mail and by tele-
graph. These came not only from every
part of this country, but substantially
from every part of the civilized world.
In most of the important countries of
the world. Mr.. Taft has warm per-
sonal friends who took delight In send
ing him Fluctuations and good wishes.
1t is doubtful whether any man nomi-
mated for public office In recent years
received so many messages of congrat-
ulation as has Mr. Taft. They are con-
tanned in several large boxes and con-
stitute a veritable library,
Despite rumors and conjectures re-
garding the selection of chairman Of
the Republican national committee, as
surnnce is given that the choice of Mr..
Taft as yet has fallen definitely upon
no man. Tentatively, at least, two de-
cisions have been reached since the sub
committee of the national committee
conferred with Mr.. Taft in Cincinnati
June 20, but in both instances the de-
cision practically had to be abandon
ed
MIR, Taft expects to have a confer
ence on the subject late this afternoon
with Arthur l. Voreys. the Ohio manager
of his preliminary campaign. 1t is
reasonably certain that Mr.. Vorys him
self will not be selected, although he is
likely to be identified with the cam
paign in an important position.
