ATTEMPTS TO DOWN HUGHES
ROUSES HIS FIGHTING BLOOD

John Hughes put in hard day yes
terday running down circulated reports
adverse to his candidacy, the one that
worried him most being a statement
passed out among the Portuguese and
Roman Catholics that Hughes had be-
come ''heretic" and joined the 7.
NJ C. A. A notice to the effect that
Mr. Hughes had promised to address the
Y. NJ. C. A. on "Good Citizenship
gave enough color Of truth to the ru-
NOR to make it effective against him.
The rumor is, of course, lie, and one
particularly aggravating, as it drags
religion into what is at best mixed
proposition.
Mr. Hughes is confident of election,
however, and with apparent good rea-
son. The endorsement of the Hawaiian
Civic Federation gives him strength
among the Hawaiian voters and his
record ought to bring him strong sup,
port from the Fourth. Yesterday he

Jack Atkinson, who presided at the

finished talking in the bandstand, ne
was hustled over to the mauka- Eva
corner of the park, where a temporary

of the crowd were able to gather and

At one side of the bandstand a white

GREAT CROWD AT AALA.

GREAT CROWD AT AALA.
So great was the crowd at Aala Park
during the rally following the parade
last night that more than half of the
people had no chance to hear what was
being said. In spite of this they stood
valiantly at their posts, and whenever
there was a chance to get closer to the
bandstand, the crowd surged forward,
eager to catch even a few words from
the lips of the speakers.
From the front of the bandstand
there rolled away dark sea of hu-
manity, faces showing out here and
there, in the glare of the torches and
electric lights, like fieeks of foam on
rolling surf. Far beyond the confined
limits of the lights the crowd stretched
