Roosevelt May Go to Convention Hall.
1t is understood the question dis
cussed at the conference of the Roose-
welt leaders today related to the ad-
visibility of Colonel Roosevelt going
to the convention hall to direct the
fight at closer range. This was talked
over at some length, but it was de-
cided, temporarily at least, that the
plan pursued yesterday be followed.
Colonel Roosevelt has been supplied
with a bunch of tickets admitting
the bearer to seats on the platform.
When the tickets came they were not
given out.
George l.. Record of New Jersey,
for the Roosevelt side, followed Hem
enway. Record said double conven-
tion was held in Arizona. He declared
in two counties the Taft men had been
in the minority and had selected their
own delegates to the state conven-
ton. The recognition Of these contest
ing delegates, he said, gave the Taft
forces control OF the convention.

PEARL HARBOR
PACIFIC KEY
SAYS COWLES
Admiral Interested in the Pro-
posed Army Defense
Plans for Oahu
MORE GUNS NEEDED
FOR NAVAL RENDEZVOUS
Gen. Macomb May Postpone
FurlOugh as Result OF
New Order

That Pearl Harbor is the key to the
mid-Pacific, and that any plan for
making Oahu "impregnable" should
start with adequate Notifications for
the great naval base, is the opinion
of naval authorities here. The Wash
ington dispatch stating that a. board
OF army officers had been o, ed to
convene here July 81, to consider
plan of defense for Hawaii, publish
ed In the Star-Bulletin yesterday after
noon, has made Pearl Harbor defenses
very lively issue, and the action of
the coming board in this particular is
being widely discussed in service
circles. In all probability the findings
will be confidential, and will be filed
away until sprung upon Congress with
the request for the necessary appro-
priaticn to carry out the scheme for
an impregnable Oahu, but in the mean
time speculation is rife, and interest
in the probable action of the board
keen.
Il believe that there is urgent need
of strong Notifications at Pearl Har-
bor," said Admiral Cowles this morn
ing. "The mortar battery, and the
12-inch guns at Fort Kamehameha are
well enough as far as they go, but
the naval rendezous must be more
strongly fortified As. to the 6iinch
and Sdnch batteries planned for Pearl
Harbor. they arg pf scoursea only for
mine field defense or for use against
small vessels lying close in. A chain
of Qualifications for the whole island
is highly desirable, ebtit j think special
consideration should be given to Pearl
Harbor right away"
No Naval Board.
Admiral Cowles said that he had
received no intimation that the navy
was to work in conjunction with the
army in planning the defenses of
Oahu and the Hawaiian Islands. That
it, it is of course matter of common
interest between the two arms of the

Charge Politics
Behind Russian
Immigrant Check
Member of Board Says Not
Purely Matter of Labor
Fitness

A political motive was plainly
charged as being at the bottom ol
the notice from the Planters Asscci
.ation to the Board of immigration, re-
ceived at yesterdays meeting Of the
latter body, that the planters did not
want any more Russian labor, but de
sired all the Portuguese and Spanish
People the Board could bring into the
Territory.
I'VE do not want any politics mixed
up with the business of the Board, as
/ said at the meeting yesterday re-
marked F. L. Waldron this morning.
He was contradicting the report in
the morning paper, which stated that
the Board had decided to stop Rus
sian immigration.
AS stated in the report on another
page, the Board directed its secretary
to address circular letter to the
managers of plantations, TO ascertain
directly from them just what they
think about Russians as laborers. The
recall of DIR. Clark from his investiea-
tons in Manchuria, which are related
to a contract with the International
immigration and Colonization Associa-
ton, does not necessarily involve, ac-
cording to what Mr.. Waldron says, the
abandonment of Russian immigration,
THE Board is merely feeling its
way toward a change OF plans with
regard to bringing in more Russians, :
Mr.. Waldron said. plantation man.
ayers are the best authorities on the
fitness and desirability of Russians
for work ON the plantations, and we
want to have their opinions on thb
matter direct. The wholesale con-
demnation. of the Russians from the
planters bureau in Honolulu looks
much like politics, as ! had no hest.
tRtion in saying openly sat the meet
ing yesterday
