1t is possible that much of the ac-

politics.
That politics reigned supreme
throughout the meeting was stated by
several attorneys yesterday, although
w. o. Smith was the only one who pub.
licly expressed his opinion.
Mr.. Smith states that the conduct
of the Democratic members was eds.
graceful, asserting that the Demo.
Gratis pulled every wire to have Judge
Edings, a Democrat, nominated for an
office, and failing in getting him the
liilo judgeship, had HIM nominated for
the Maui judgeship putting hin

Mr.. Smith also states that as to the

Mr.. Coke, the Office is n political one
and not of judicial character, nnd
the bar association has not heretofor,
made endorsements of positions thai
were political in nature. He believes
that the methods pursued ON Monday

A 23-meter boat is bigger vessel
than he has handled before, but the
versatility OF the Corinthian Club s
crack skipper is such that the yachts
men of the Belvedere Club are satisfied
that he will be just as much at home
on the deck of the new yacht as he is
on the Presto, the yacht that he fash
toned himself and has sailed so often
that she is like live companiod to him.
1t is the intention of the men who
compose the syndicate that will build
the yacht to send Stone East so that
he can look over the big yachts of the
Atlantic seaboard and acquaint himself
with the latest methods of producing
fast saiiers. The captain elect will
probably make this trip next summer,
