The Prince was met at the wharf
this morning by Princess Kalaniana'
ole, Mrs. Kea and John +. Colburn
treasurer of the Kapiolani Estate
They went almost Immediately to the
Delegates Waikiki home, where the
Princess gave luncheon today. The
Delegate intends to rest awhile be
lore starting on any political activl'
ties, at any rate.
He told the Bulletin reporter
that politics IN Washington Is such
that every politician is up in the air
as to the outcome of the Chicago con
vention. Personally, the Delegate
thinks that President Taft, II nominal
ed, will go down to defeat at election
He thinks that Roosevelt is the stron'
ger man of the two politically and, II
nominated in the convention, will be
elected the next President.
But, on the other hand the Delegate
says there is much likelihood of the
nomination of Justice Hughes as the
compromise for President. Kuhio is of
the opinion that Hughes will be Sc
lected as the standard-bearer of the
| Republican party.
The Governorship.
Asked about the Governorship, XII
bio declined to discuss II. He said
that the matter is up to President
Taft and Secretary Fisher. and, until
they have acted, he does not want ia
talk about It. He confirmed the re-
port, however, that Secretary Fisher
will come to Hawaii shortly after the
Chicago convention.
L. IN
the President and Secretary Fisher,
said Kuhio. land ! do not want to say
anything about II, at least, for the
present. ] believe that the charges
that | made against Frear and his ad
ministration will receive thorough In
yestigation at the hands of Secretary
Fisher after his arrival here"
kau Ditch Bill.
The passage Of the Kau ditch bill in
the Senate, according to the Delegate
this morning, is doubtful at this ses
sion. He thinks that the Senators are
too busy on other matters.
As to the Dillingham; immigration
bill, the Delegate said It Is dead for
| this session. What the future will
bring forth. he could not predict.
The Delegate believes that President
Taft and ex.Prcsident Roosevelt erred
when they commenced to abuse each
other in their public speeches. He be
lieves that II is undignifed for them
both. one the present President and
the other an eX-President, to belittle
each other during their campaign.
In speaking of local legislation be
fore Congress Delegate Kuhio said
that little will be accomplished during
the present session on account of the
activities of the Government officials
in the political campaign.
Fairchild Land Bill Dead"
Kuhio this morning told the Bul
etin reporter that the Fairchild
land bill Is practically dead, at leas
for this session. He thinks that the
attention OF Congress might be called
to It again in the future, but added
that for the present the bill is coma
tose.
| CONFESS Bill Also Held Up.
That the CONFESS street railway bill
for Hilo will not go through at this
| time, Is the opinion of Delegate Ku
hio. The bill was taken up before
committee and II was thought that Il
would go through this session. but al
the last moment II was reported thai
1t would not go through at this time
Asked about the secretary whom h,

place, Kuhio refused to forecast his fu
ture action.
