According to information at hand.
say the investigators, the name of Guy
d. Randell is connected with the pur-
ported pilot" the belief being that he
may have had a hand in assisting the
men to leave here, if they have gone.
Randell is now confined in Oahu pris-
on, charged with attempting to re-
cruit soldiers ont of the local army
forces for service with the Allies.
The officials say that Gordon, Cor
kell and Ward were recently staying
at a rooming house on King street,
and that the proprietor of the place
furnished some of the information
which led to the belief that the men
had been recruited for foreign service,
1t was also learned that Randell was
staying at the same place, but that he
was elected after trouble regarding a
bill. He was seen several times in
company with Gordon, CorkelI and
Wardf say the officials.
Men Made Denial.
A few days prior to the sailing Of
the Niagara, Gordon and Corkell are
said to have removed to room in a
lodging house on Alakea street When
the. officials confronted them there
with what were believed to be the
facts in the case, they denied every
thing, one of the investigators declares
This official says that two grips be-
longing TO the men were found packed.
E. l.. S. Gordon, British consul,
whose name was linked with the case
by a person giving information to the
federal officials, said today that he
knew nothing about the matter. and
that he had no knowledge of the men
alleged to have been recruited.
The federal officials say they will
continue to investigate the case, as
they understand that if the men were
unable to secure passage in the Mag
ara, they were to leave here in the
next boat for Vancouver.
