member well.ftted for the duties of

all phases Of promotion work.
The committee expected to elect a
new member, but the matter was laid
over until next week. The members
had decided upon W. H. McInerny, but
that gentleman was not able to state
yesterday whether he could accept the
honor owing to pressure of business.
He may be the chairman of the house
committee Of the Country Club, and as
his brother j. d. McInerny may leave
shortly for the mainland TO remain
about six months, added duties of part
nership may cause him to decline. The
members, however, win urge him to be.
come member Of the board.
Cold Water on Proposition.

on the proposition of having the Ma.

make side trip to Honolulu next Feb
ruary following their convention which
may be held in California. Fred Wald-
ron, president of the merchants asso-
citation, in letter to the committee,
stated that he was of the opinion the
various newspapers of the city could
canvass for finances and act as hosts
for the excursionists. 1t was represent
ed to the board that the chamber of
commerce report would be adverse to
the chamber recommending that the
two commercial organizations take any
steps to bring the editors here. The
matter was therefore laid on the table.
