Delegate Kalauianaolc is strictly Gun
against IT, today because Of the fact
he virtually stands accused by the Gov
ornor OF the Territory Of having at
tempted to interfere with the success
Of the arrangements for the bond issue.
Governor Frear has not made the &C.
cusation in so many words, but that is
the only inference to be drawn from
a statement he made in answer to .ques-

Advertiser, and afternoon papers, yes.

asked The Advertiser reporter.
''Well, do not care to say anything

"You win not say what that attitude

toned.
emo, do not care to say anything
about it at present, was the Gov
ernor's final answer.
What It Means.
The reticence of the Governor as to
the attitude of Prince Kuhio admits OF
only one interpretation-and that the
one which The Advertiser set forth in
its editorial on Friday morning, after
reading which, on the Sierra, the Prince
is reported to have thrown the copy
of The Advertiser overheard. Had the
delegates attitude been fair and above
board, undoubtedly the Governor would
have been the first to admit it.
Later, when he had Gained down, the
delegate made written statement To
the afternoon papers in which he said:
Having read the issue of The Pacific
Commercial Advertiser this morning
FRIDAY, July y Immediately upon my
return on the Sierra, kindly state in
your columns this day that / deny in
toto having conferred with President
Taft or Secretary Fisher upon the bond
issue. (Signed) ]. Kalanianaole. -
1t will be observed that the delegate
does not deny Gin toto, or in any
! other way, that he did "knock'' the
1 bond issue. 1t is certainly his duty to
I explain his "atitude' toward the is
sue, which was of such nature, it is
alleged, that persons in Washington felt
constrained to inform the Governor of
the Territory, in his official capacity
of it.
Kuhio Denies Knocking.
II do not know anything about any
! information the Governor may have re
ceived from Washington regarding
whatever am supposed to have done
about the bond ISSUE" said the Dele
gate last night, when informed thai
! Governor Frear had stated that he had
received word that he (Kuhio) had
been working against the success of the
issue.
&c 1t is not true that went to either
the President or the secretary of the
/ interior to knock the bonds, and the
only one I talked about the bond issue
with in Washington was Conkling.
81 dom know anything about what
