ELECTION Fight
DRAGGED BEFORE
MAIN COMMITTEE
Murphy Appeals From Demo-
cratic Decision Giving Ray
rnond Lead on Valley Isle

Instead of quieting down, as was
anticipated by many, the fight grow
ing out OF the recent Democratic di.
rect primary election on Maui appears
to be growing more bitter daily, with
, new developments constantly being
reported.
An appeal from the decision of the
Maui county committee, giving the
election on that island to DR.. ]. H.
Raymond, who was candidate for
delegate to the national convention in
St Louis, has been taken to central
committee by Attorney Eugene Mur-
ply Of Wailuku, defeated candidate
for alternate to the delegate.
This. movement on the part Of At
torney Murphy SEings the entire bur.
den Of decision 10 the shoulders of
the central committee and, as It is
controlled largely BY the McCandless-
Wilson faction. II is difficult to de.
termine just which way the wind will
blow after that body has sat on the
appeal.
Proxy Vote Included.
The Maui county committee, In
awardingt the election to Raymond.
holds that the 35 votes cast by proxy
IN the Hama district are valid, and It
is largely against this point of the de-
cision that Murphy has noted his ap-
peal. Murphy claims that he has af-
fidavits from the Hama judges o. cleo
tion which show that they do not deny
that there were votes cast by proxy.
II was stated at Democratic head.
quarters in Psuahi street today that
the voters did not only cast their bal
lots for the absent party members.
but that the Raymond leaders could
not trust their own men, so took the
proxies from those who were present
at the polls and voted for them.
COMMITTEES Meets Soon.
The central committee probably
win meet within a few days to hear
Murphy's protest. and 1t is also likely
that the demand OF High Sheriff w. p
Jarrett, who claims that the certifi
cate of election as national committee
man be given him. will be given con-
sideration.
