Few Contests in Precinct Dele.

territorial convention, strong sets OF
nominees for the county convention
and few contests between opposing
states we're the features of last night s
Republican precinct nominations. Can
didates for both the county and terri
toTial conventions were nominated
the primaries being next Friday night
but IN many cases only one slate was
put up and the primaries will CONSIST
o. no more than the casting by the
secretary Of the club Of a vote to
cinch the election to the conventions.
Six or seven contests only are to be
noted in the precinct returns, which
ares till incomplete, although practi-
cally all OF the nominees are given to-
day. Contests In the first, second and
fourth precincts OF the fourth district
and the ninth OF the fifth are the most
notable.
Several Of the precinct clubs in
structed their nominees for an open
ballot and at least one, Manoa, for the
unit rule in the convention.
Harmony In Manoa.
For the first time in years, Manoa
precinet-the third Of the Fourth
pulled off its nominations last night
with harmony throughout. In fact,
the balmy night atmosphere around
the Manoa tennis club grounds, where
the meeting was held, was chockful
of harmony. The only contest that
had given promise of development
was that among the Portuguese
Americans, with j. Vivichaves on one
side and J. B. Enos on the other.
President Hemenway of the club
steered a wise course between the
two, asking the contenders to settle
among themselves the men they wish
ed to support for delegates to the
county and Territorial conventions
On the face of the returns from this
informal primary, Mr.. Enos had the
advantage, but Vivichaves came in
for harmony and last nights meeting
was remarkable for the good precinct
and club spirit developed. There was
no bitterness manifested. 60"
Only one ticket was put up for
the county and one for the Terrific
rial convention, and consequently the
primary is unnecessary, as last nights
action settled the delegates to both
conventions. r.
The club voted unanimously that
its delegations shall be bound by the
"unit rule" under which the vote OF
the entire delegation will be cast with
the majority vote. This was satisfac-
tory, especially as there does not
seem any prospect of serious diyi-
sion in the delegations. <Ess
The club also instructed its dele
cations to vote and work for an open
ballot throughout the convention. The
precinct wishes either that the roll
call be taken, or that the chairman
OF the delegation announce openly the
vote Of the delegation, preferably the
latter, as it will facilitate the work Of
the convention. ~!
One Ticket At WahiaWa.
Wahiawa, the sixteenth OF the
fifth, with two delegates, one to each
convention, had but one ticket to put
up and the primary will not be neces-
sary. William Templeton was named
for the Territorial convention and A.
w. faaInes, Jr., for the county con-
yention. Harmony is reported from
This precinct also. - -. /
Waialua Quiet. a
All was quiet in Waialua, accord
ing to the reports that reached the
city today. Three delegates for the
territorial and twelve for the connty
convention were nominated, and but
one slate, was put up.
Fourth OF Fifth. l..4.-
Only one slate was put up in the
fourth Of the fifth district, Kahuku, al,
though anlattempt was made to nomi-i

who put up the opposition ticket,
found no second for the nominations.
however, and when the chairman
ruled that the nominations were not
valid, the ruling was sustained, not
even the man, said to be an ex-police-
man from Honolalu, voting against
the ruling. !" -
Kakaako Lively. MI. III
In the Kakaako precinct, seventh Of
the fourth, Dick Panaewa had a ticket
up his sleeve TO introduce, said to be
an opposition ticket to the Murray
Kruger forces. On this were r. w. 1

naewa to hold out part of the ticket, !
it is said, and compromise was eff !
fected by which some on both tickets
were nominated. There is rumor of l.;
