context_page_description: Hilman Djajadiningrat was a Bantenese aristocrat, regent, and politician.
  Born in Serang, Hilman entered bureaucracy after finished studying in the Hogere Burgerschool. He began to work as a clerk in the Residential Office of Jakarta, and later became the wedana for several kawedanan in West Java. After Indonesia's independence, he sided with the pro-Dutch faction against the pro-Indonesian faction and ran as the candidate for the Wali Negara of Pasundan before losing to Wiranatakusumah V. He was later appointed as the Governor of the Federal Region of Batavia following the formation of the region.
context_section_description: When the Dutch were preparing to establish the State of Pasundan, the Dutch established the Recomba (transitional government) of West Java. The Head of the Recomba, Abdulkadir Widjojoatmodjo, held the First and Second Bandung Conference with the intent of gathering influential people in West Java in order to support the formation of the state. The conference was headed by Hilman.
  In the third conference, Hilman was already appointed as the head of the Recomba, replacing Abdulkadir. As the leader of the federalists (pro-Dutch) faction in the conference, he ran as the candidate from the federalist's faction for the Wali Negara (head of state) of the State of Pasundan in the Wali Negara election. His opponent was Wiranatakusumah V, a staunch Republican (pro-Indonesia) and the first Minister of Home Affairs of Indonesia. He lost to Wiranatakusumah by 45–55.
