CT have nothing to say" said Gov
ernor Frear yesterday, when asked
whether any developments in the sup
posed strained relations between Ho-
nolulu and Washington justified a break
in the silence that has been maintained
during the past three days.
There were plenty of others around
the capitol yesterday who had some
thing to say, however. The majority
of these said what they had to say to
the Governor, the echoes of the con-
versations that drifted into the outer
offices and Railways being to the effect
that there are very many in prominent
positions in Honolulu who do not want
the Governor to resign.
Whatever effect this pressure may
have had, however, the Governor would
not make any statement for publication.
He intimated that there was change
in the situation, however.
"I have nothing to say" he first
announced, and when asked if for va.
riety's sake he might not be quoted
:as stating that "the resignation matter
remains in statue quo," answered
quickly:
"But it DOESN'T
This is the only news in the situation,
namely that the status quo today is
not that of yesterday.
Combinations Delayed.
There will be no announcement from
Washington regarding the confirmation
by the senate of the nominations of the
three Hawaiian judges until Monday,
the next meeting of the committee be-
ing scheduled for that day. The names
were sent to the senate on Monday
last and were, undoubtedly, referred
to the judiciary committee of that
house.
The members of the senate judiciary
committee are: Clarence d. Clark of
Wyoming, who is said to be close
personal friend of Col. Sam Parker;
Knute Nelson of Minnesota, Chauucey
NJ. Depew of New York, William P.
Dillingham; of Vermont, George Suther-
land of Utah, Samuel H. Piles of Wash
ington. William Warner of Missouri,
Frank B. Brandegee of Connecticut,
William E. Borah of Idaho, Augustus o.
Bacon of Georgia, Charles A. Culberson
of Texas, James P. Clarke OF Arkansas
Lee S. Overman of North Caroline, lisa
dor Rayner of Maryland and Thomas
H. Paynter of Kentucky.
Frear Urged to Stick.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear on the Governor to induce him
to give up his thought of resigning
All day yesterday streams of visitors
poured into his Office to see him and
urge him to stay ON the job. Most
of the prominent men of the city called
and all counseled him to retain his
position. One man IS advice was that
the Governor go downtown, mingle with
the people ON the streets, and in that
way determine what the public senti
ment is. The Governor, however, has
not yet been seen either in Cunha Z
alley or along the Rialto
Yesterday morning there was a con
:sultation among the Governor, Secre
tary Mott Smith, Chief Justice Hart
well and Attorney General Hemenway
presumably over the situation that has
developed as result of the appoint
ment OF Circuit Judge De Bolt to the
supreme court. No statement was Civ
en- out as to the result of the confer
enee
And in the mean time, nearly all the
Governor appointees are acting very
much as il they were sitting on the
edge of "A precipice with their feet
hanging over. They don I know wheth
or they are TO he showed OFF or not
81 am afraid ! shall loss my job and
have 10 90 TO work. remarked one
government Official. Nobody knows just

the Governor would mean, as matter
of course the resignation of all hii
heads Of departments, Aud that wonlt
