Castle & Cooke, agents for the Mat
son line. have RECEIVED cabled request
from the San Francisco office asking
hem to ascertain public opinion, local
y, as to whether it would be advisable
% charter the WIhelmina for the Feb
ruary trip from San Francisco to Ho
loluiu for party of about $50 shriners
who would make the trip to Honolulu
to Hilo, taking in the volcano. then
back to Honolulu and up to San Fran
cisco. The question arising particular
~ is whether or not it would be advis-
able TO give over the entire ship to
shrlners, refusing in the meantime all
offers for bookings for that one run.
John Drew, the head Of the Castle &
Cooke steamship department, is sound
ing opinion and will be ready to report
back in few days. He states that the
promotion committee, through Mr.
Wood, favors the proposition. mas
much as the committee is making con
slant endeavOrs to get excursions of
this size here. James McCandless. a
member of the local shriner aggrega-
ton, is at present on the Coast and is
interested in bringing about such an
excursion IF it is decided to charter
the Wilhelmina to the shriners. both
the local and the San Francisco Mat
son agencies VII not take bookings for
the February run of the Wilhelmina.
Mr.. Drew states that he believes the
general run Of traffic can be. handled
by the Lurline and by the Honolulan,
the new American Hawaiian passenger
freighter. which viii then be under
charter to the Matson company. The
Honolulan will accommodate about
forty cabin passengers.
