voters turned out such precinct office
holders as Willie Crawford and his
gang. With upper Manoa and the dives
of Chinatown arrayed against him. those
who do not know suppose Andrews po
sition to be an unsteady one.
The meeting which was held at Re
publican headquarters yesterday after
| noon in the Judd Building, and the re-
suit thereof is that there is a committee
appointed to further investigate and
search into the methods and ways and
II cans of Mr.. Lorrin Andrews, inasmuch
as he is accused by other Republicans
of using his position as manager of the
party to forward and boost the inter.
ests of certain gentlemen for office.
One of the main charges appears to-
lie that Lorrin Andrews, the Moses of
the Republican party, is endeavoring
to induce the public to the belief that
| Charlie Hustace is the great and shin
| ing light for the position Of mayor of
| this city and county of Honolulu, III
spite of the fact that Honolulu already
has a mayor, who is the father of sew
enteen children and has Just celebrated
his second wedding within a few months
| of the death of his former wife. It is
| considered particularly reprehensible
| say Andrews accusers, that he should
attempt to back Charlie Hustace for the
| mayOralty when John Lane was the
| man through whom Lorrin Andrews Sc
cured his present position as manager
| of the Republican party, and since John
Lane himself very much desires, and his
| friends desire, that he run for the posi-
| ton of mayor, for which position he
ran once before and got beaten by the
one who at present encumbers the
mayoraltv chair
The meeting yesterday afternoon was
| very much in the nature of weeping
proposition; there was more of sadness
! over the alleged sins of the supposedly
guilty ones than JOY over the glorious
prospects of the possibly successful ones
at the polls
| In fact whereas there were many who
had supposed that the meeting of yes
| terday afternoon was to have been sort
of a preliminary arrangement for the
rapidly approaching and very exciting
campaign, it was nothing more nor less
than the airing of a series of petty
| jealousies and a number of baby plays
on the part of one practically wiped-ou
wing Of the party.
| Now A. L. c. Atkinson is president
of the committee, or chairman, rather,
and it is supposed, nay, even alleged,
that upon his shoulders will fall the
mantle of managerial authority should
those on the committee so misiudge the
situation as to interfere in the work of
| I'd
John Waterhouse was present; and
John c. Lane. the candidate for the
Republican nomination for mayor. Lane
bearing the proxy for Otto Rose of
I1iIo; then there was c. f. King who
carried the proxy for a Maui man, for
Senator W. 7. Robinson. And there
were others present, though the main
workers have been mentioned.
There had been various alleged com
fplaints made against the manager, Lor-
rim Andrews, to the national commit
teeman, Holstein, in regard to Andrews
allegedly favoring certain embryo can
didates, and therefore Holstein girded
up his loins and hied him to Honolulu
to see what was to be done. OF course,
there was a confab between Holstein
and John Lane and the investigation
was started yesterday afternoon, to be
continued at Republican headquarters
on Friday when Andrews will again be
given an opportunity to show that he
is not worrying much in regard to ale
cations.
It would appear, according to Hol-
stein's present sizeup of the situation,
that few in the Manoa precinct have
particularly the most to say against
Andrews.
There are Hemenway, and Won Damn,
and Steere and Al. Cooper who are in
vestigators, and they are characterized
as insurgents in the Republican camp
as far as Andrews is concerned. They
also want to know what Eugene Buffan-
dean is doing with, or for, or by, or to-
gether with Andrews. Altogether they
are very curious.
1t is also "alleged' that Andrews is
supporting Joe Cohen for the senate
nominations; not that Cohen doesn I
, want to be senator and not that the PEG
, pie don t want that popular gentleman
to run.
The allegation is. that Andrews i:
actually supporting or in favor of Coher
for the senate; while he should favo,
no persons, but must do just what he
IS told as manager IN regard to choice
| for candidates, though who IS to choOs,
