GARDEN PARTY AT FREAR'S
Secretary WireIesses His APP
provaI Of Plans for His
Welcome.

Immediately upon his arrival this
morning, Secretary of State and Mrs.
Knox will go to the Moana Hotel
where they will make their headquar-
ters while in the city.
Such was the information received
last night by Secretary of the Terri
tory e. A. Mott-Smith in answer to
the wireless despatch sent to Secretary
Knox by Governor Frear. The arrange
ments made by the Governor for the
entertainment of Secretary Knox met
with the entire approval of that of
fetal as evidenced by his wireless re-
ply which was as follows:
Program Pleases.
"Program entirely satisfactory. Co
ing to Moana Hotel. Want conveyance
for baggage. "
At the Governors home, "Arcadia, -
Secretary and Mrs. Knox will be the
guests of honor at an informal garden
party which will be given from four to
six 'clock this afternoon. No formal
invitations have been issued and the
general public is cordially invited to
attend.
Other arrangements are practically
complete for the official reception to
Secretary Knox upon his arrival early
this morning on the cruiser Maryland
from Seattle Unless Secretary Knox
makes some changes after his arrival
it is proposed to tender him and his
party an official reception in the throne
room of the capitol beginning at ten
o'clock this morning, at which Cover
nor Frear will present to the distin-
guished visitor the foreign consuls, or
majority of them who have not called
upon the Secretary on board the war
ship.
Following the reception Secretary
Knox will be the guest of the Cover
nor at luncheon. Tomorrow morning
it is proposed that Secretary and Mrs.
Knox, Rear-Admiral Reynolds and
Ransford S. Miller, all of the Secre-
tary's party, will make the trip around
the island by automobile, stopping for
lunch at the Haleiwa Hotel. The Mary
land will sail Friday afternoon for Yo-
kohama.
In answer to greetings by wireless
from the Governor, the Secretary wire
lessed as follows yesterday morning:
"Thanks for your cordial message.
We expect to arrive Thursday morn
1ng, leave Friday afternoon. Party
consists of Mrs. Knox and self, Mr..
Miller and Admiral Reynolds"
Guns Will Boom.
When the cruiser Maryland reaches
the harbor early today she will be
greeted with a salute of seventeen guns
in honor of Secretary Knox and later
when Rear Admiral Reynolds pays his
respects to Rear Admiral Cowles at the
Naval station he will receive salute
of thirteen guns, as will follow the re-
turn call of Admiral Cowles.
According to the present plan it is
probable that several of the foreign
consuls viii call upon the secretary ON
board the warship, in which case there
will be more saluting. Among these it
is planned by Acting Japanese Consul
Y Mori to pay his respects in as unos-
tentatious a manner as possible on
board the warship, due to the period of
mourning for the death of the EN-
peror,
The reception of the acting Japanese
consul will be singularly appropriate
as Secretary Knox is now on the way
to Japan as the official representative
of the United States at the funeral
ceremonies of the late Emperor.
Mott-Smith in Charge
Secretary of the Territory Mott
Smith is in personal charge of the ar
rangements for the receptions and for.
mahties attending the visit of Secre-
tary Knox and yesterday had brief
conference with Acting Consul Mort
relative to his reception by Secretary
Knox and he will probably be the first
foreign consul to be received.
The official party on board of the
Maryland has been in touch by wire
less for the past two or three nights
with the naval wireless station and it
rs expected that by today there will be
an answer by cable to the wireless mes.
