FIGHT FOR
AUDITOR
DEMURRER IN KAUAI CASE AR
GUED BEFORE SUPREME COURT
THIS MORNING.

The demurrer in the case of Charles
the position of auditor of the County OF
Kauai was argued this morning before
the Supreme Court. Attorneys Thay-
er and Watson representing the petit
toner, and Davis and Peters the res
pOndent The general argument was
on the same grounds as that in the
case of the Fern contest with the eX-
ception that there was no fight over
the district proposition. Ambiguity
and indefinite statements were alleged
in the demurrer as the principal rea-
sons that the contest should be dis
missed.
Attorney Peters brought up one
more point which may nave an effect
upon the final ending of the case.
This was in connection with the man
ner in which the recount shall be con
Quoted Peters asked that the court
give a ruling as to whether all the
ballots cast should be considered by
the court, or whether simply the string
of ballots which were accepted should
be considered as correct and the num-
erical number alone considered.
A second demurrer in the case was
filed by Attorney Peters this morn
ing, but ordered stricken from the
files by the Court, as it should have
been filed before. This action is SINH
lar to that taken by the Court yes
terday in ordering that the affidavits
filed by Attorney Davis in regard to
the votes at Koolaupolo, be stricken.

HOME I'LL

Deputy Attorney General Larnach
returned from Hilo this morning, and
looks far more fit for bed than for
any court of law Through the ill
ness which he has been suffering from
for several past weeks he was compell-
ed to return to this city without COM
pleting the trial of the murder case
which was on. 1t was in such condi-
ton, however, that he was able to turn
it over to Deputy County Attorney
Aluli. This was after all the evil
dence was in and the instructions of
the court had been asked. Mr.. Lar
mach stated that he believed that a
verdict of murder in the first degree
would be obtained against the two
defendants.

The demurrer entered by the attor-
neys for Mayor-elect Fern in the cleo
ton contest started by the Lane sup
porters, was overruled this morning
in the Supreme Court and the start
ing of the actual work on the re-
count was set for Monday, December
21. All three justices agreed on the
overruling of the demurrer, though
Justice Wilder dissented from the 9TH
er two members of the Court in the
reasons for his opinion.
While the opinion which was given
from the bench by Chief Justice Hart
we'll, and concurred in by Circuit
Judge De Bolt, sitting on the Supreme
Bench in the absence of Justice Bal
lou, holds that the thirty signers of
the petition must have been voters in
the district which voted for mayor,
that is the entire island of Oahu, Jus
tice Wilder in his opinion held that
the thirty must come from one of the
districts into which the county is di-
vided for the purpose of voting for
deputy sheriff.
The verbal opinion given by Justice
Hartwell was as follows:
"The first ground of the demurrer
is that the petition is ambiguous,
unintelligible and uncertain in that it
appears that although the petitioners
claim that Lane received large num-
ber of votes which were legally cast
for him but were not counted and
should have been declared elected, it
appears from paragraph eleven of the
petition that the total number OF votes
legally cast for him was 21SS, although
the official returns set out in para
graph four show that he received 2212
and Fern 1920 This is explained by
other paragraphs in the petition. This
ground was not specially relied on and
it is not sustained. The main ground
of the demurrer which is relied on,
is that the petition does not show
