Mrs. Massie Decides to Sail Despite

BY the Associated Press.
HONOLULU, May IA breach be-
tween the United States Navy and civil
ian Honolulu widened today, with
merchants apprehensive of threatened
boycott by the naval personnel
The rift, first caused by the Massie
assault case in September and the mis-
trial of the natives charged with the
attack. spread steadily and had its lat
est impetus in the conviction a week
ago of the four defendants In the
Fortescue-M -Massie murder case. They
were Mrs. Granville Fortescue, her SON.
in-law, Lieut.. Thomas Massie; Albert
o. Jones and E. J. Lord, naval enlisted
men. The four, who subsequently OBJ
tanned a Communication of sentence, were
convicted Of the revenge Staying of
Joseph Kahahawai, suspected as one at
tacker of Mrs. Thalia Massie, wife Of
the officer.
Outside Trade Invited.
While the boycott movement was still
beneath the surface, 1t was understood
certain personnel at Pearl Harbor naval
station had written Pacific Coast firms,
suggesting they open branch stores at
Honolulu. 1t also was understood of11-
cial circles at Pearl Harbor let 1t be
known personnel making such requests
could be disciplined by the Navy.
The whole city was watching mean

charged with assaulting Mrs. Massie
Retrial depends entirely on whether
Mrs. Massie remains in the islands to
testify.
John c. Kelley. public prosecutor
made public a statement calling on
Mrs. Massie to remain as a witness.
Mrs. Massie announced she planned to
sail for the mainland aboard the
steamship Malolo Sunday. Clarence
Darrow, chief of the defense counsel
for Mrs. Fortescue and her codefend-
ants, said Mrs. Massie had decided to
remain.
Robert Bell of New York, Mrs. Mas
sizes uncle, said he honestly didn't
know" what she would do. 1t was
learned on good authority that Mrs.
Fortescue, to whom the prospect Of her
daughter running away" from re-

remaining.
Favor Dropping Case.
Many citizens of Honolulu, including
those most insistent that the attackers
of Mrs Massie be brought to justice
would be glad to see the case dropped
Their reasons, the same as Darrow's
are that the first disagreement and the
freeing of the murder defendants make
it virtually impossible to convict the
four men accused.
To try the case again, it has been
pointed out would mainly stir anew the
feeling which has been less tense dur
ing the last few days than for months.
They also believe the only other result
would be another mistrial.
With all this in mind and also with
an eye on official Washington, where ac-
ouittal or mistrial of the four men
might hoist even higher the specter of
a commission government for Hawaii
these citizens are willing to consider
the case closed.

8 STATES HOLD.
SWORD OVER
CANDIDATES
BY COLE E. MORGAN

ny COLE T.. MOhOAN
Colorado, Wyoming and Mon.
tana are the doubtful States of
the Far West, according to re-
turns to date in the nationwide
post card presidential poll of The
Washington Times and o h e r
Hearst papers.
Arizona, California, Nevad a,
Utah and Washington appear def
1nltely certain to cast their eieC-
toral votes for Governor Roose-
Velt. Idaho, New Mexico and
Oregon look reasonably safe for
him.
Colorado for Hoover
Colorado is the only State in
this far western area where
President Hoover is showing a
lead in the poll ballots. His
margin there is only 80 votes,
with 1852 tabulated. Last week,
however, Colorado gave RooSe-
welt a 103 majority of the 791
new ballots received. Another
week like that and he will be
ahead in the State.
Next to Colorado the closest
far western State is Wyoming,
where Roosevelt has a majority
of So out of 902 ballots. This
State continues to run at thai
relatively close ration, the 153
new ballots of the past week hav-
ing given Roosevelt a margin of
only seven.
Montana presents very much
the same picture as Wyoming, eX-
cept that Roosevelt attained a
somewhat better lead in the early
balloting. AS the State now stands
he has a majority of 224 out of
3,026 ballots. Last week. however,
he got only 13 majority with 345
new votes recorded.
G. o. P. Fighting Hard
Evidence that the Republicans
are fighting hard to check the
Roosevelt sweep of the Far West
was revealed in other States on
last weeks returns. oregon gave
Hoover a majority of 13 out of
263 new votes, while Roosevelt
was held to a majority of Is out
OF 230 from Idaho and 8 out of
S8 from Utah.
AS whole, however, the situa-
tion in the Far West looks ex-
ceptionally good for the Demo
cratic candidate.
