nomination first and, amid shouts and
yells of derision from McCarthy's fol-
lowers, Lyons was defeated.
Ehinger was elected by 81 votes
against 62 for Lyons.
Mr.. Eflnger, on taking the chair,
incidentally predicted that the Presi-
dental chair would be occupied by a
Democrat after the election.
David Ewaliko was next elected
temporary interpreter, amid yells of
opposition from the McCarthyites.
Ewaliko appeared at the convention
with a McCandless badge conspicu-
Ously displayed, although it was only
last Saturday when the labor man an
uounced himself as a McCarthyite.
After announcement of the number
of delegates to which each precinct
was entitled, a recess of fifteen min
utes was taken.

The Democratic Territorial conven-
ton was called to order in Knights
of Pythias Hall at 10 o'clock this
morning by Mayor Fern, chairman of
the Territorial central committee.
The hall was jammed with follow.

before the doings started
McCarthy's satellites were not much
in evidence until the convention
opened, and then they began to make
up for lost time.
Everything was lovely until the call
by Acting Chairman Fern to elect a
temporary chairman.
Jesse Uluihi opened the nomina-
tions by speaking for John Efinger.
He was hardly re-seated before Sena-
tor Makekau was on his feet for Ben

Trouble started when the McCand-

Geo Carter announced that he had
voted for the motion.

First blood in the Republican Terri
torial convention was won at 1890
o'clock today noon, when the Taft
League delegates carried by a de-
clared majority of sixteen in favor of
the open ballot in the election of
temporary chairman.
A vote will probably be taken upon
the nominations of w. w. Harris and
H. l.. Hosten for temporary chair
man as soon as the convention recon
venes at o'clock this afternoon.
The ballot which decided the meth
cd of voting upon the question of
Craftsmanship followed a series of hot
speeches, and a number of rows over
the Interpretation of parliamentary
rules. The division is close enough
between the factions to make every
, move one which is fought most stub
bornly. A good deal of feeling is be-
ing shown, particularly among the
Kuhio leaders, and it was a dis
gruntled bunch that crowded toward
the exits of the Orpheum when a re-
cess was declared, after the ballot
had been taken. Some of them were
heard to say they would not return
to their seats this afternoon.
First Test Of Strength.
The first test OF strength in the big
fight came when a division vote was
called for on the motion of Charlie
Achi to debar Louis Weinzheimer of
Lahaina from the floor on the ground
that he is not a citizen of the United
States The Taft Leaguers contended
that this was a matter for the COM
mittee on credentials to first consider,
and after considerable debate an un-
decisive viva voce vote required the
roll to be called, resulting in a victory
for the Taft League by an announced
vote Sc to 20.
The vote on the secret or open bal
lot was taken upon an amendment
proposed by NJ, F. Prosser to a mo-
tion made by A. L. G. Atkinson. At
kinson's motion was that a secret
ballot be taken on the matter of de-
Gliding between Harris and Holstein
as temporary chairman, and the
amendment changed the method to
read that the vote should be in re-
spouse to a roll call, or in effect an
open vote
Two Votes Practically the Same.
The vote on the amendment was
announced as carried by a vote of SS
to 72, and the record of the individ-
ual votes was almost identical with
the first vote taken.
The votes thus far taken show that
the Fifth district (Hilo) is almost
evenly divided between the Taft

WORK BY WORES
IN SAN FRANCISCO

In connection with the following
extract from a report in the Examiner
of April 5, there is a large cut Of
the portrait Of Miss Gertrude Macfar-
lane therein mentioned:
The annual spring exhibition of the
San Francisco Art Association was
opened at the Art Institute last night,
when society and patrons of art in
the state were present at a reception
to members of the association, con-
tributing artists and their friends.
The exhibition comprises work by
Californian artists, though the greater
part of the pictures on view are by
San Franciscans.
Not since before the fire has such
a lareg exhibition of such high-quality
pictures been held by the institute
The feature of the show is the excep-
tional varity of subjects and the
varied treatment.
One of the most striking pictures in
the collection is a portrait of Miss
Gertrude Macfarlane by Theodore
Wures. Miss Macfarlane is pictured
seated leisurely, dressed in a vivid
heliotrope gown. 1t is a mastery
piece of work, which displays the
beauty of the subject in no less strik-
ing a manner that it does the power
of the artist.
Other pictures of Wores were much
admired by the crowds at the show
last night.

ROACH IN SOUP
MADE TROUBLE

A row occurred in a Hotel street
chop-house in which Anton Garcia,
Louis Gonsalves and All Hin took an
active part.
The trouble is believed to have
arisen over the presence of a cock
roach in the soup. The guests are
said to have attempted to make All
Hin swallow his soup, roach and all.
Hot water, chairs and soup were
freely used in the affray and the
three individuals named were taken
to the hospital to be treated for
bruises and scalds.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
When the convention reconvened
Carter arose and stated that the re-
suit of the ballot taken just before
lunch, was erroneous, inasmuch as it
announced SS to 70, while less than
that number of delegates are present,
A canvass resulted in the announce
ment that the correct result was 81
to 70.
Achi and Atkinson raised the ques-
tion as to the vote of H. Reuter-, of
Maui, who was not present 1t devel-
oped that X Kalawa held Reuters
proxy and had been voting it, but had
not filed it with the clerk. The vote
was therefore further amended max
ing it SO to 70.

League and the Kuhio-Taft factions.
The Second district (Kona and Ko-
hala, and headed by National Com
mitteeman Holstein), is practically
solid for Kuhio. Maui, the Third dis
trict, is almost entirely of the Taft
League faction. The Fourth district
(Oahu, is about "a to II in favor of
the ]. p, Cooke leadership. The Fifth
district (Oahu), is just the other way,
standing something like "a to ~ for
Cupid's faction. The Sixth district
(KauaD, is practically entirely for
the Taft Leaguers.
The chief haole spellbinder of the
convention, for the Kuhio crowd,
turns out to be George Carter, who
made several stormy and eloquent
appeals calculated to damn the
chances of the Leaguers. Stephen
Desha is making the fancy speeches
on the same side for the native ele-
ment.
John Wise and NJ. F. Prosser have
so far done the chief honors in way
of talking for the League
Story of the Convention.
Chairman A. d. Cooper called the
meeting to order at 1915 o'clock, and
called upon National Committeeman

vention to meet in Chicago at noon on
June IS, 1912, for the nomination of
a candidate for President OF the Unit
ed States
On the stage were Chairman Cooper
and Secretary c. c. James, of the Ter

tional Committeeman Holstein,
The floor of the theater was re.
served for delegates, the positions of
the different districts being designated

which position of vantage he was able
