he DENIES RUMOR
(From Sundays Advertisor.)

From sunday AdVert1ser.)
Bob Single wants TO go to Washing
ton as the successor of Cupid. Kuhio
is slated for Joe Fern IS job at the city
hall, and H. L. Holstein, the national
committeeman, is going to the main
land as soon as may be to take part
in the scrap over delegations, and put
in few hard hicks at the Frear adj
ministration wherever he thinks they
will do the most good. On the whole
the political pot is bubbling, right me--
rily.
Single and the Shinglites are dodg
ing the responsibility for the report of
Bob's secret ambitions. Indeed Shingle
and not a few of the more prominent
members of the Kuhio crowd have gone
to the trouble of denying privatim and
seriatim the statements that he wants
to be delegate to congress and wants
Cupid mayor of Honolulu. But there
are just as good men on the other side
of the fence who do not hesitate to say
that the suggestion came from Shingle
In the first place, and was made by him
to the Taft Leaguers
This revives the statement made in
The Advertiser months ago that Single
was ambitious to become Hawaii s rep
resentative in congress, although Shin
gle denied the rumor at the time. 1t
was the first move on the local political
chess board to get rid of Kuhio, and
offer him the BOBBY prize of being Ho-
nolulu' 3 mayor with pension of $3.50
a month, an auto, a secretary and an
entertainment fund.
Single Luau and Boom.
A political luau is to be given today
at the Pearl Harbor home of Col. Sam
Parker and Single, for the 'fImmortal
Seventy who stood by the Kuhio
ticket in the convention. Some of the
"seventy' are on other Islands, but
proxies will be used today, so that the
list will be complete. In addition, there
will be a large number of other friends
asked to attend the powwow. A spe-
cial train will leave Honolulu at 10
O'Clock this morning carrying about
two hundred people. 1t is believed that
the delegate boom of Mr.. Single will
be carefully presented to the feasters.
Holstein, who was among the list of
would.have- been-delegates for the Chi
cago convention, will be one of the
leaders in the Kuhio fight against Gov
ernor Frear in Washington. Mr.. Hol-
stein is reported as saying that there
is no use now in going to Washington
to fight the reappointment of Governor
Frear, but he will carry the fight into
the national committee room. This COM
mittee is to consider the protest fled
by the anti Frearites against the APP
pointment of the Governor.
Charges Aplenty Popping
1t is stated with certainty that those
opposed to the Governor, who are 60
ing to Washington, will charge the
Frear faction with coercion and brib-
cry in connection with their recent
victory in the territorial convention.
The Frearites laugh when this charge
is made, and say that there is some
thing they might bring to the surface
on the Kuhio faction relative to a GER
tain check which they allege was filed
with the Inter-I Island Steamship com
pany as payment for the passage of
number of delegates from other ISL
ands, all of whom came as Kuhio voters,
and opposed to Frear. This check mat
ter will be aired should the anti
Frearites make too much of fight be-
fore Washington authorities.
Governor Frear may leave the latter
part of May for Chicago and Washing
ton. Charles Rice of Kauai, who, it is
expected, will be national committee
man for Hawaii, succeeding h L. Hol-
stein, will leave about May 30. John
Wise may leave about the middle Of
May as he expects to go to oberlin to
attend commencement exercises, be-
fore going to the Chicago convention as
an alternate.
