'eial Star Bulletin Correspondence

I: Especial Star-BItIietin Correspondence
. WASHINGTON, D. c., May %. -
All judicial appointments for Hawaii
will be held in allegiance until the
troubles of United States Attorney
JEFF McCarn have been settled. The
marshalship is included in the same
hold-up.
This is the serli.official statement
made at the department of justice. It
was made plain in that connection
will be filed until the McCarn affair
is out Of the way No explanation is
given as to why the distribution of
patronage must be suspended because
the district attorney became involved
in difficulties.
No time limit has been fixed for
renewed consideration of the positions
to be filled upon recommendation
from Attorney-general McReynolds.
The impression is conveyed that quite
a period of waiting will intervene. 1t
is limited that a sitting out of the
McCarn affair will require much time
Up to the present no determining
statement of fact has been received
in connection with the McCarn trou-
BILE. All reports on the subject have
come from persons biased one way
or the other. No conclusions have
been submitted by people of standing
and position who have no interest in
the outcome. These are desired by
the attorney-generaL He does not care
to review seriously the accounts CIV
en- by those who either favor or dis
like Mr.. McCarna He seeks the testi-
mony of those who have no feeling
in the matter and would be in a po-
sition to furnish impartial evidence
None of this kind has yet reached the
department of justice. Until it comes
along no decisive action will be TAX
en- in the direction of sustaining or
rebuking Mr.. McCarn.
1t is believed that Mr.. McCarn has
freely expressed his views to Attor-
ney-general McReynolds regarding the
fitness and qualifications of all aspi.
rants for judicial places in Hawaii It
is thought that the apparent deter
minatfon to defer appointments of
that kind rests on the endorsement or
disapproval of Mr.. McCarn. The va
lue of his suggestions would depend
in the last analysis on the final deci-
sion in his own case.
