Senator Delbert +. Metzger, of Ha-
wall, will have the honor of opening
the senate when that body convenes
for its seventh annual session at ten
o clock this morning. Preparations for
this event have been under way for
days and although the Republican maj
ority of the upper chamber has agreed
upon the main points of organization
there are some details which they hope
to arrange previous to the opening this
morning. 1t is believe by many that
when the senators finally take their
seats nothing will remain undone but
to ratify the decisions reached in the
several Republican caucuses which have
been held since Monday.
Senator Eric A. Knudsen will be re-
elected president, it was announced yes
terday. All signs of opposition faded
when the senator from Kauai, through
his friends, made known the fact that
he was in the fight to win. The presi
dent may have made some concessions
to the minority in the way OF commit
tee arrangements, but he has landed the
honor of a second term as head of the
senate, and that meas much.
Senator Chillingworth, of Oahu, who
was being groomed for the presidency,
will probably be prevailed upon to act
as vice president of the senate, though
Senator Makekau, the sturdy and re-
liable Home Ruler from Hawaii, was
understood to be in the running for this
position late last night.
John H. Wise silenced all opposition
and will again be clerk of the senate.
Beyond this all is conjecture, or will
be until after the final caucus of the
Republican senators this morning.
1t is said that the appointment of
the assistant clerk will be left with the
president and clerk, the provision be.
ing made that the appointee must be a
stenographer. A. Q. Marcallino, former
member of the house, is candidate
for this position, as is Carl Widemann.
The selection of chaplain may be
made in the same way as that adopted
by the house. The sergeant alarms,
messenger and janitor will also be
selected at the caucus this morning II
possible. IL not, these selections may
be left to vote upon the floor of the

The Democrats, led by Senator Coke,
seem satisfied with the results Of their
conferences yesterday. II is believed
they have assurance, az well az the Home
