The Governor said, in answer to a
question, that he hopes to get away
for the mainland on or about May 81.
He will meet his family in the East,
and then will proceed to Washington,
before attending the Republican ne
tional convention.
Percy Hunter, the Aus ustralian much
travelled promotion man, called on the
Governor this morning and had an in
formal talk on things in general.
That Australia is going to establish
a bureau in New York is certainty,
and there is talk of Hawaii joining in.
Funds could not, of course, be taken
from the contingent fund, but the leg
islature could vote certain amount
for the upkeep of Hawsii's end in the
Australian building. Nothing official
was discussed between the Governor
and Mr.. Hunter this morning, and
the matter is in abeyance at present.

DeraiIed Car
Delays Train

Only box car in the ditch but the
mute appeal conveyed by the bit of
rolling stock, with its wheels in air,
affected the officials of the Oahu rail
way so strongly yesterday afternoon
that the wrecking crew was ordered
to replace the piece of battered equip
ment in it's proper position on the
rails at once, and consequently the
train schedule suffered.
The car left the track early in the
afternoon without warning, bowled
into the ditch and turned over with
its wheels spinning in air so that it
much resembled a turtle on its back
waving its fippers for assistance.
The 2;15 train leaving at 2:45 passed

loss of time other than that inflicted
