RETURNS ARE feature OF EVENING

changed returns with those gathered
by the newspapermen. The StarBul-
letin's organization covering the city
precincts was SO complete that for
most of the evening the returns were
shown on King street considerably be-
fore they reached either headquarters
or the city clerks Office, where the
Official count was kept.
Every city precinct was covered by
StarBulletin men. Country precincts,
which finished their count early in
most cases, were covered either by
telephone or through returns sent to
one OF the headquarters.
In addition, many friends of the
Star.Bulletin were kind enough to call
up by phone and keep the paper in
formed OF the count in several pre-
cincts.
AS soon as dusk came on the first
returns were put on the screen. Ed
die X. Fernandez, who has handled
the lantern-slide work for the Star
Bulletin very capably for many years,
was again In charge of this depart
ment. He had also the pleasure OF
seeing his name on the. screen re-
.peatediy as the leading Repugl ieail
Lomirie6 Tor the house from the hfth
district. He led throughout the even
ing and had no cause to worry once
the returns began coming through.
stan Artist John C. Poole was rep
resented with q large number OF car
toons and caricatures Of well-known
f,gures in local politics, which served
to amuse the crowd and alternate with
the election returns.
About the middle of the evening the
outside islands reported by wireless
with returns to date. Star-Bulletin
correspondents in these islands were
first to send in the returns, which
were on the screen Immediately.

How News Was Rushed From
Precincts; at Once Put on
Illuminated Screen

Star-Bulletin election returns were
the feature OF election night Satur-
day. Except FOR tie Dig crowd gath.
cred on King street between Fort and
Bethel, election night was absolutely
quiet and featureless SO far as the
public was concerned.
The Star Bulletin showed the only
public returns Of the evening, and the
record for speed, accuracy and wide
range covered, set in past years, was
fully maintained, though there was
such comparatively slight interest In
the primary results that most Of the
screen announcement evoked not q
cheer and scarcely murmur from the
crowd.
The returns were shown from the
Office OF Thomas w King & Co.. manu-
facturers' agents, room 8. Waity build
ing; kindly loaned for the occasion.
Here part of the StarBulletin staff
gathered to tabulate the returns tele-
phoned In from minute 10 minutsNby
other members OF the stan in the yari-
Gus precincts.
In addition to the stan men. the
Star-Bulletin was also assisted by five
Boy Scouts. These alert lads, anxious
to get an insight into the workings
OF primary elections and practical pol
tiles, volunteered to telephone In
news from their home precincts, and
several sections weer covered in this
way.
Two special telephones we're INSTALL

continuously busy during the even

er by telephone or messenger. 1t was
put on the big illuminated screen just

the results to date at a glance.

HawaiI's second territorial primary
election last Saturday passed quietly
into political history with remark
ably and discreditably light vote, few
surprises and in most cases with the
best men nominated on each ticket to
oppose each other in the November
finals.
With a comparatively short ballet
and a small vote, returns were made
quickly, even though the count was
not especially fast. By o'clock the
drift of the voting was apparent and
by 8 most OF the nominations were
assured. A few were In doubt at
midnight and II was not until after
