PROMOTION BODY
TO HOLD MEETING
OVER SECRETARY
Audit of Accounts Brings Out
UnbuSineSslike Condition in
H. P. Woods Office

. "A special meeting of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee has been called
for tomorrow afternoon to consider
action upon the secretaryship Mem
.bers Of the committee are openly dis
satisfied with what they say is an
unsatisfactory conditions of affairs in
the Promotion Office which dates back
several years, and Secretary H. p.
Wood, now in San Francisco as resi-
dent fair commissioner, is criticized
for a lax condition in the accounts
of the Office.
For number of weeks account
ants have been going over the books
and accounts of the Hawaii Promo
tion Committee, under the direction
of the audit and finance committee of
the Chamber of Commerce. The re-
port of this committee has been COM
pieted and submitted to the new Ha.
wall Promotion Committee the latter
having been changed following the
annual meeting of the caamber
The accounts, according 20 mem
bers Of the promotion body, are tan
gled AMI in many cases vague, and
they believe some money has been
unwisely spent. No wrong-doing is
charged as result of the audit, but
members OF the committee feel that
the committees Office affairs, which
are under the direction of the secre-
tary, are not being looked after in a
businesslike way 1t is on this ground
that the opposition to Secretary Wood
has been manifested
One member said today that previ-
Gus secretaries of the promotion work
are to blame also for present condi-
tions since lack of businesslike ac-
counts is not peculiar to Mr.. Woods
regime.
No result of tomorrow's meeting is
except that in any event a
fhouse-cleanings is inevitable. That
Secretary Wood has been of much
value to Hawaii in promotion work
is emphasized by committee mem
bers.
