Want to Succeed Willfong.
HILO, May 29.-The fight for the
local tax Office job has simmered
down to a few candidates at present,
one of the most likely winners,
Henry j. Lyman, having announced
that he would not accept the posi-
ton if it should be offered to him.
Lyman states that while Mr.. Will
fong said that he would be glad to
recommend him for the office, that
he could not take the position, as he
could not leave the management Of
his interests in Puma to handle the
Territorial job. R. T. Moses, whose
name was prominently mentioned,
has also refused to allow his friends
to advance his candidacy, not caring
to leave his present position with the
Volcano Stables.
The most likely candidates from
this island are Robert Forrest, from
Naalehu, who appears to have strong
backing; R. T. Guard, of the Hilo
Market, who is also very strong, and
George Williams, of the local land
office who, it is stated, is not an APP
plicant. but whose name has been
brought up by his friends and who
would take the position if it should
be offered him. Guard and Williams
appear to be the strongest of the
three, though Forrest is a dark horse
who may show up strong in the
stretch. G. e. King, it is understood,
is after the position, but is hardly
likely to be considered seriously by
Governor Frear.
To Fly over Hiio.
HILO, May 29.-There will be an
exhibition of aeroplane flying in this
city on June 10 and II, Saturday and
Sunday, as the result of arrange
ments which were completed yester-
day by wireless by Felix Brughelli.
The full details have not been de-
cided on as yet, but will be an
nounced later on. Two aviators are
coming to Honolulu about that time
and Mr.. Brughelli has made arrange
ments for them to pay visit to this
city to give the people of Hawaii
their first opportunity to see the
birdmen in action.
Panama Fair Exhibit.
HILO, May 29.-The matter of a
proper representation of Hawaii at
the Panama Canal Exposition, to be
held in San Francisco in 1915, is
something which is already taken nc
here and which is of a good deal OF
interest to Hawaii. The bill provid
ing for the appointment of a commits
sion to make preliminary arrange
ments was introduced by Towse oil
Oahu, in the Legislature and was
amended by Alfonso of this island, 10
provide that. of the five commission
ers, one each should come from Ha
wall, Maui and Kauai, leaving two
for Oahu. Mr.. c. E. Wright was ap,
pointed by Governor Frear to rep.
resent this island.
In speaking of the matter the other
day Mr.. Wright stated that he did
not care to say much in regard to
what his views were, as he had not
yet had a chance to meet with the
other commissioners and find out
what their views were He made the
following short statement, however:
Personally I feel that the object
of the exhibit to be sent by Hawaii
is to bring tourists here and that
we should work along those lines
The climate, the beauty of the seen
cry and the various natural wonders
of Hawaii should be set forward in
the most attractive possible manner
according to my views, though the
other commissioners may differ from
me in this or in the way in which
such a plan should be carried out.
! zone suggestion has been made
that seems to be rather good one
that one of the features of the Ha
wall exhibition should consist Of
native palms, ferns and other foliage
plants. This would appear to be q
good suggestion and might be carried
