Tho news received yesterday in Ho-
nomlu Of the confirmation Of Judge

the street. F" ~
n Governor .Pinkham up to yesterda,
had heard nothing at all from Washing
ton in regard 10 his recommendation
for the Hawaiian circuit benches and h
stated that nothing new from this en-,
bad been done. Notwithstanding tn
story that Governor Pinkham had sen

Information maintaining that Governo
Pinkham has recommended no furthe
names since he sent on to Washington
those of Judges Whitney, Robinson an,
Matthewman. NFsf

w. 5. Edings Of Honolulu was beinl
put forth as candidate 10 snccee
Judge Whitney, but no confirmation
