Association of the Hawaiian Islands,

Judicial Circuit, Kauai, caused by the
recent resignation of Judge Jacob
Hardy.

Ashford. and Samuel Chillingworth
we're also presented. Mr.. Ashford,
however, refused to allow his name to
be considered, stating that though he
had at first been receptive candidate,
later developments made it appear to
him that local interests on Kauai were
not favorable to his candidacy, and he
wished to have his name withdrawn.
Mr.. Dickey was recommended by the
Kauai Planters Association, w. b.
McBryde, and others of the Garden
Island, and after discussing the availa-
bility of the several candidates, the
association voted to recommend to the
acknowledgment for his consideration
the name of Lyle A. Dickey. The secre-

expressing their preference for Mr..
