Robinson of Maui Declines to

Join Caucus and Rumors

Are Busy

MAJORITY'FAVORS GOING

Chillingworth Strongly BackerJ

For President House Cau-

armbnious

ublican senators called into cau

8 yesterday afternoon found an "in

surgent &JQa camp and one who up

to a late hour today had declined to

joianhe majority in mapping out the

ogislative program and deciding upon

the officers and employes of the upper

bouse.

Senalerw. T. Robinson of. Maui is

Mhesolon who 'declined tc, attend ye.

fterday t caucus. . His refusal and 'the

absence of. others; among them Chas.

A. Kice of Kauai, resulted in the cau

cus being postponed until noon, today.

Meanwhile . the Republicans of the

lower house pnet, got harmoniously to

work, selected, officers and 'employes

and talked over the bills to be Intro

duced otl behalf of the party.

Robinson gratified his friends : by

sending word to. the. caucus that he . is

not going" to desert permanently" or

anything like that and his action is

taken . . goodnaturedly all around, to

that no marring of old-fashioned Re-

nnbllcan harmonv la exDected.

Senator Robmson'8 refusal to join

the caucus Is said to be' based on the

act that he wants support for a tax-

aticn measure he intends td Introduce

and WilI' nct'Dledge his Vote' a. asen

ator for,: presldent'snd "other-offices

mTtu-assurea that he WinJet support

for this measure. rJust what the tax

bill is has not been divulged so' its

chances are not known, but one sen

tor said yesterday that, he thought

the bill was aimed at Island plants

wot---- -;:: v.--.,-v-

' Another reason for Robinson a atti

tude is said to be that he wants "Tim

Lyons of Maut for assistant clerk of

the senate. ; ThSre. are several candl

dates for this job and it was predicted

that Robinson's aloofness was not iike-

y to help his candidate very much,"

Robinson was questioned by some of

the members of the legislature today

but later they said he would not ex

plain his reasons for declining to join

the caucus.

However, they did not seem worried

over the situation, believing that Rob

nson will come into the fold and say-

ng that they have enough votes any

way to elect Charles F. Chillingworth

of v j Qahn fas president ' and. carry

through their other planaf U 'J-'

At Soon as the houses are organ

will then, present, his annual message.

Governor PInkham will read his

message in person, arrangement hav

ing' been made for the' senate to meet

jolitly with the house in the chamber

of the latter. It is expected that the

organization of the houses will have

been ' perfected early - in the morning

so that the governor will be able to

present his message before noon.

Dozens of bills will be introduced

on the opening days, a large number

of which have been prepared under

the direction of the Republican com

mittees to carry out platform planks.

Democrata Doing Little. J 1

Although there, is a healthy . Demo

ing that no caucus had been held and

their plans had not been systematized.

There has been some talk of naming

James L. Coke for Tlee-presldent; but

Coke personally .prefers that the vet

eran Makekau should be given the

place. Democrats will have important

representation on the committees and

so far there has been" no indication

that, the majority and minority will
