Jessie Kaufman Publishes Nov.
ell Full of ''InSide" Gossip
of Local Affairs

Honolulu society" has been caught
and written up.
Taking sly little filings and the
faults and foibles of the local -Four
Hundred" as she sees them, Jessie
Kaufman, a mainland novelist who
was here some time ago, has written
a volume called "A Jewel of the
Seas" Just published by the J. B.
Lippincott Company.
After dedicating her novel to "a.
H. and to Sans Souci, the Place She
Loved" the authoress plunges into
a story the scene of which is laid en-,
tirely in Honolulu, and most of it ap-
parently upon the lanais of Honolulu
homes. Setting her figures down in
an environment of alleged Honolulu
society, the writer weayes a tale in
which she brings in not only much
local color, but many: figures easily
recognizable as drawn from local per.
sons and personalities.
The plot, which is slight but inter.
esting throughout, tells of the arrival
in the harbor here of Commodore
Chandler" and his wife, members OF

the swimming races at Stockholm,
will arrive in Honolulu next Monday
on board the Matson liner Wilhelmi-

coming were received from him today
by w. T. Rawlins and by Lew G. Hen

Immediately plans were begun to
welcome home the Honolulu boy who
has won such fame, in a manner that
will show what Honolulu thinks of
his splendid performance. The same
committee that is in charge of the
Kahanamoku fund, to buy Duke a
house and lot, will probably arrange
the welcoming features.
There is now between fifteen and
sixteen hundred dollars in the fund
said Chairman Rawlins this morning,
and as Duke is on his way to Homo
lulu there will be big effort made
during the next few days to bring the
fund up to about $2590.

TO GET
OFF CITIZENS
TICKET TODAY

The prize joke of the political sea-
SON was sprung yesterday morning
when publicity was given to an al
legged movement by a Committee of
Fifty" to put complete legislative
and county ticket before the voters
In November"
The publication of most Of the al
legged ticket was followed Immediate
ly yesterday and today by prompt re-
pudiation on the part of those whose
names were mentioned Indignant at
being mentioned for office without be-
ing first consulted, most OF those
named on the ticket sti11 find humor
enough in the situation to smile.
The published assertion that sat
isfactory proofs were produced, how
ever, that the members of the COM
mittee of fifty are highly influential
and politically powerful in most
cases" causes most of the grins.
Speculation was rife today as to
the man or men who sprung the joke.
The street" at large certainly thinks
that Lorrin Andrews is the man who
did it, and that his ideas found their
natural medium of publicity, which,
indeed, first aroused the suspicion
that he was the father of the ticket
Andrews, however, denies absolutely
having anything to do with the pro-
motion of the movement" and takes
is at much as joke as do the others.
Another story was to the effect that
w. Spencer Bowen had stirred up
some sentiment among a number Of
responsible men in favor OF a citizens
ticket, but Mr.. Bowen told the Star
Bulletin today that while he had some
ideas on the subject, he has nothing
whatever to do with the present move.
Ed Towse, as one of the disappoint-
ed Kaimukites, who given chance
to claim the ticket as the creature Of
his imagination and political sagacity,
but Mr.. Towse declined to talk one
way or the other, only saying he isn't
cit" Suspicion is not directed much
his way, however. ..a.

week, after the convention, Mr..
Hughes intimated there would be an
independent ticket in the field.

the Republican Senatorial nomination
during the convention, is going out.
after the nomination on an independ-
+ent platform. Cohen declared today
that he is going out to beat ]. NJ
Dowsett and intimates that he him
self doesn't expect to win.
The rush to get off the citizens
ticket" became a veritable stampede
when the candidates mentioned began
to realize that the chimerical com
mittee of fifty" apparently doesn't in
tend to come into the open at all.
Every member of the ticket with
whom the Star-Bulletin could commu-
nicate this morning says he viii not
