Delegates to Press
Congress Will Make
Three Weeks Visit


of the delegates to the Worlds Press
Congress will be extended to three
weeks. They are to arrive in Homo
lulu October 10 and II and will leave
the Islands November 3 and Novem-
Der 3. Such was the encouraging
news that reached Honolulu in a tele-
gram to Governor Harrington from
Dean Walter Williams, president of
the congress.
The message was as follows:
Harrington, Honolulu:
Mainland delegates to the congress
will arrive Honolulu, October 10 and
II and depart November and 3.
"WILLIAMS."
The dispatch from Dean Williams
is in answer to a request received by
the governor from him recently ask
ing if special hotel rates would be
granted should the delegates decide
to extend their stay here a matter
of 20 days. Immediately on receipt
of this, the governor took the matter
of hotel rates up with Colonel Scho-
field, general manager of the Hawai-
ian Hotels Co., and secured a promise
of a material reduction in rates for
a party of 500 at the Moana hotel for
the period specified.
Steamer Question Unsettled
! With this assurance the point of
chief interest to Maui and Hawaii is
steamer accommodations from Homo
lulu to the Fair here and TIilo for the
Volcano trip. AS yet there has been
no assurance of large steamer but
the Honolulu committee is still work
ing on that plan. Otherwise Maui
will have to depend solely on the In
ter-1sland steamers and the Manoa
which will make the trip from Homo
lulu to Kahului during the fair.
The first session of the congress,
the program committee has decided,
will open at o'clock on the evening
of October II, the delegates first day
in Honolulu. The steamer schedule
calls for their arrival there at dav-
break that morning. The initial ses-
sion viii consist merely of the formal
opening, when Hawaii will welcome
its journalistic visitors through it's
Official spokesman, and later at a re-
ception.
The four days Immediately follow
ing the formal opening will be devot-
ed to business sessions in the morn
ings and afternoons, leaving the even
ings open for entertainments. At the
conclusion of the fifth day the formal
program will have been concluded,
and the Hawaiian hosts will take full
charge of the party. The delegates
will not again be gathered in busi-
ness sessions until October 25, the
last day of the congress, when final
meeting will be held for such bust
ness as requires transaction.
