HUSTACE DEFEATED
BY LUCAS WHILE
RAWL|NS WINS OUT
(From sundays Advertiser,


Lucas defeated Hustace in the pre-
cinct in which both live, Rawlins was
elected in the Second Precinct of the
Fourth District despite the opposition
of the Buffandeau- Cathcart slate and a
misuse of the official ballots to accom-.
plish this end, but Cathcart defeated
the rest of the reform ticket which
practically elected but three out of the
thirteen nominees, and United States
District Attorney Breckons and Will
liam Aylett lost out in the Third Pre-
einct. Cathcart beat Walter Dilling-
ham and A. T. Griffiths. While the
Fourth District seems practically fav-
orable to the Lucas interests for the
mayoralty nomination, in the Fifth
there is a more or less mixed delega-'
ton which is claimed to be in the keep
ing of Achi. Such are the important
results of the Republican primaries
held in the city precincts yesterday
afternoon and evening.
The voting was well attended
throughout, but quiet, generally. In
many precincts there were no contests.
The election of delegates to the Ter
ritorial convention had little interest
for the voters, the nomination of
Prince Kuhio for delegate to Congress
being generally conceded, and efforts
were centered entirely in the county
convention elections.
There was a well defined story going
the rounds yesterday that Achi was
devoting his time and energies to get
ting Hustace delegations elected. His
reason for doing so is that he con-
siders Hustace the weaker of the two
foremost candidates for the mayoralty
nomination. By showing Lucas aside
and working Hustace to the front,
Achi, it is said, will then have the
support of the Notleyites, or Home
Rulers, for the mayoralty nomination
which may be handed him by his Labor
party. Achi believes that he could
defeat Hustace, but isn't quite so sure
about defeating Lucas. Whatever of
real truth there is in this rumor, IT
looks like an old Achi trick, and, fur
thermore, Lucas is next to this move
and will balk it.
