ARRANGEMENTS have been made by
the city authorities TO open Mckinley

action on getting the funds, since, an
opinion from the deputy city attorney

mated as necessary. The governor
may be asked to secure the coin from
his contingent fund
The Hawaiian band will be out to
play the delegates off TO running
start on their so days of charter draft
ing. Several possibilities for perman-
emit chairman have been mentioned,
the most prominent being W. o.
Smith, Republican, and N. c. Pacheco,
Democrat. However, party politics
won't play any. part in the convention

chairman will be made along other
lines.

nj. J-.. will call the city charter con
yention to order in Mckinley high

scented TO step forth and save the

the delegates to the convention act
ing as voluntary committee. APP
preached him and urged that he take
the temporary chair on Tuesday:
The COMMITTEES argued that mas
much as the clerk not only kept close
tab on the bill while II was tn the
hands OF the legislature, but also con.
Gucted the election whereby the dele
gates were selected, and is a member
81 the charter delegation ass well, he
should act. In the face OF these ar
currents Mr.. KaIauokalani consented
to call the meeting TO order. The
law d5es not specify who shall call

suned that anyone wiling TO under

II have received no communication
from any of the city officials in re
gard TO the assumption by the terri
tory of the charter conventions ex-
pensess' said Governor PiHkilan this
afternoon, when asked ii the city had
made any request through hfrEsfors the
territory to- bear the expenses.
Il presume am too busy To- have
bothered with any such request" con
| tinued the governor Il have not CIV
| en- the natter much thought. except
with the general feeling that the cit
| officials would come to some definite
| idea before this in regard TO the mat,
ter. and that If they did not reach any
| conclusion would ecme to the territory
with it,
| The governor d:I aot say whether
! he would or would not favor such an
expenditure by the territory. Some O.
Ithe caDitois reople are, Of rhe belief
THAT it. is only fatr for the city an"
county TO assume the burden, and that
! the expense should not fall to the nav
ment of all the counties Of the terri
| tory.
Mr.. Logan says that he will try an"
get the matter of appropriation set
! tied by Monday, but as that day is ?
! legal holiday it may be difficult I
secure the desired results.
