POLITICIANS GO AFTER HOUSE VOTES
TO BEAT GOVERNORS CHARTER VETO

Governor Pinkham's veto of the city
charter bill, and the sustaining of the
veto in the house yesterday were but
mild preludes Of the activity around
the legislature today in efforts to get
the veto oyerridden by the represen.
tatives.
Already the house has voted a re.
consideration Of its vote OF yesterday
and the veto will come UP again on
Saturday. Meanwhile the advocates
of the city charter are exceedingly
busy.
The whole capitol atmosphere is full
OF rumors Of deals, tricks, trades and
political bargains, all directed toward
defeating the governor in his emphat.
ic opposition to the charter bill. Stor-
les OF influence and pressure brought
to bear on Legislators to get them in
line against the veto are being circn-
lated.
REPRESENTATIVE Lorrin Andrews,
father of the house charter bill, and
Harry Murray, his political associate
in putting the bill through the legis-
lature. were busy men this morning.
They fpregathcred on a bench and
held whispered conference Just be-
fore the house went into session. MUIR
ray, whose position as superintendent
OF wateEWorks and sewers has not in.
terfered With daily lobbying, is appar.
emily moving every available force
to swing house votes into line against
the veto.
Predictions Of various kinds were
made today. The Star-Bnlletin was
told that Andrews and Murray had
won over enough votes to override the.
veto and the general feeling early this
seemed to be that the house
will change front from its attitude of
yesterday. though several legislators
1t is confidently believed, will stand
stanchly by their guns and support
the veto. ~
Votes Switched in House to Get Re.
consideration
After a generous switching Of votes
a motion to reconsider the action OF
the house yesterday in sustaining the
veto of the charter bill.
was carried this morning. 10 members
voting for the motion and II against
it.
The motion to reconsider was made
by Representative Waiaholo following
the rsceirt of communication from
the senate announcing that the upper
house had oyerridden the veto. Rep
Cooke demanded the ayes
and. noes. The vote was as follows:
Ayes--Ahuna, Andrews, Brown, Fer
nandez, Jarrett, Ierves, Joseph, ka-
aua, KsIsna, kawaha, kawewehi, Ne.
