KaleiOpu Only Smiled.
Among the leaders of the fifth seen
yesterday was A. s. Kaleiopu. Mr..
Kaleiopu smiled broadly at the sugges.
ton that he might have been one of
the ones who selected Wise.
We do not have to go over to the
fourth to get our leaders" he remark
ed. Kaleiopu said that he not only
knew nothing of the beginning of a
Wise regime nor did he know anyone
else in the district who either wanted
Wise or had been asked concerning
him.
cit looks to me like an attempt on
the part of the liquor men to get con
troll, - he added. ''I was approached
once along some such proposition. I
think we win have to watch that crowd
and do some wiping out.
Correa Also in the Dark.
s. P. Correa, who is recognized as
one of the solid men in the party in
the fifth, stated that he knew nothing
whatever of the move to make Wise a
leader. "We have never been con
suited and l don't think we need to
be-" he said CT know for one that
our precinct doesn t want him. We
have a precinct that has always stood
for good men,"
Corrca stated that he had met Wise
that afternoon and that Wise had
pointed out to him "the news in the

precinct against Achi by three to
one vote recently, openly stated that
the whole thing was a part of the at
tempt of Achi and Wise to sell out to
the liquor men. He explains that the
Achi party consists of Achi himself,
Wise, Olepau, Charley Clark and one
or two others. Achi and Clark came
him within the past three days and
| told him that they had chance to do
something for themselves with the
| liquor men and the Democrats. They
stated plainly that there was a move
/ on foot, likely to mature at any mo-
ment, whereby they would go over to
the support of McCandless and Fern.
They were only waiting to see what
arrangements Wise could make with
the liquor dealers to join the desertion
and dump the Republicans.
''We don't want Wise and we don I
need Achi to tell us what to do or to
sell us out, said Mahelona, summing
up. "We can run our own affairs
Achi is licked good and plenty and he
knows it. That why he says he has
gone out of politics. He didn't go out
he was kicked out, so far as the ninth
is concerned, and Wise will be wise if
he stays away or he III get the same.
William Henry Not Consulted.
Another of the fifth district leaders
who was not taken into confidence when
the destinies of the party were being
settled is William Henry, the high
sheriff. ~ certainly know nothing
about Wise being our new leader, F."
he said last night. "'I don t know who
made him leader or who has the right
to make him such. We have a little
to say about such things ourselves. "
Chinese Vote for Good Ticket.
There will be five hundred Chinese
votes this election, according to w.
Kwai Fong, and the great majority
of them are to be polled in the pri-
maries for clean ticket men. The Chi
nese had not been asked concerning
| the Wise-Achi deal and according to
Kwai Fong don't intend to stand for
Wise. "We know nothing about it, -
he said. "We were never asked or
consulted. -
There is one Chinaman for Wise. That
is Willie Crawford, who had the liquor
mems support in his recent precinct
fight, a fight in which decency con.
