M. Cristy of the territorial supreme court.

The name of Circuit Judge Will-son C. Moore is the only name submitted so far. Provisions for write-ins are on the ballot. nam It is understood that Judge Moore's name already has been submitted to the office of the U. S.

attorney general for transmission to President Truman. Judge Moore, it is learned, has the recommendation of Governor Stainback. DELAY MAY CONTINUE Unless action is taken by officials in Washington, D. without a recommendation from the bar, further delay in filling the vacancy is seen. Balloting by the bar association closes on October 8, more than a week hence.

The vacancy has existed since Judge Cristy's death last July 11. The supreme court since that time has not considered any cases. Nor has it been determined, apparently, whether the chief justice and his associate can name a substitute jurist pending an appointment to fill the vacancy. Mary Hoapili Dies, Aged 60 A motion to set aside the $100 bail forfeitures of seven defendants in a gambling case Thursday was denied this morning by District Magistrate Clifton H. Tracy.

Twelve persons, including Winston Churchill Henry, were arrested on July 21, following a joint federal-Honolulu police raid at 408 Keoniana St in WaikikL a a a Only five of the defendants were in court Thursday. Judge Tracy ordered forfeit the bail of the seven who were absent All defendants were in court this morning. a a a 'Defense Attorney Samuel Landau contended that the district court is open until 4:30 p. m. and if the defendants appeared before that time they were not in contempt of court.

Judge Tracy read Section 10747, Revised Laws of Hawaii, 1946, which reads in part: "If they fail to appear before the adjournment of the court, their defaults shall be entered, and such entries shall be evidence of breach of their appearance bond." a a a Judge Tracy said he adjourned court Thursday about 11 a. m. and the defendants had not appeared. a a a The trial is being continued this morning. The defendants are charged with being present at a gambling game.

Assistant Public Prosecutor Noboru Nakagawa is Dwight C. Steele, president of the Hawaii Employers Council, reported to stevedoring companies today on his off the record dock strike talks in San Francisco, which may open up new settlement negotiations. a a a Mr. Steele expressed cautious optimism about settlement pros- pects when he arrived Thursday evening from San Francisco talks with ILWU President Harry Bridges. a a a At 10 this morning be met with representatives of the seven stevedoring companies struck by ILWU stevedores since May 1.

Only ILWU comment here today was: "We are glad to see Mr. Steele express optimism for a change. BRIDGES MAY RETURN A spokesman said if negotiations are resumed. Mr. Bridges or Louis Goldblatt ILWU secretary-treasurer, or both will come to Honolulu.

a a a On his return, Mr. Steele said prospects for an early settlement of the 153 day old strike are brighter now than at any time since the walkout began. But he added: "It is a mistake to go overboard in predicting an early settlement." He said he could not predict an end to the strike in "two or three days or two or three weeks." Mr. Steele denied San Francisco reports in which he was said to have "predicted an early settlement." He denied also that a tentative wage agreement had been reached on an offer of 15 cents. 15 CENT DEAL DENIED "Certainly a settlement at 15 cents is out of the question as far as I am concerned," he asserted.

The wage issue, Mr. Steele confirmed, remains the biggest stumbling block to waterfront peace.

HOUSE OPENS LID The house steering committee opened wide "the lid" on the legis lative hopper during a meeting in the house speakers office about noon Thursday. Some 29 bills were accepted for introduction. Actually very few of the bills submitted for consideration were rejected. Generally bills which have already been introduced in the senate were not allowed to enter.

A company spokesman said "informal discussions are now. going on and some progress is being made." But Arthur A. Rutledge, union agent said he knows of no such talks.

Collective bargaining Thursday failed, he reported. ana He said he will call the company this morning to see if it has changed its position in negotiations. If no change is indicated, he said he will report the impasse to the governor. NEW BOARD POSSIBLE And the union would urge the governor to appoint a new emergency board to study the dispute to head off a possible stop work demonstration permissible after Sunday night. The company's attitude was expressed this morning by F.

J. John son, vice president who said: "If any future board is appointed, we will cooperate, of course. But we feel that the present facts reported by the recent board relative to the six issues still in dispute are completely adequate and we will gladly furnish them to any board and at any time." ana Otherwise, Mr. Johnson said, "no further comment is necessary at this time" in view of continuing informal discussions. Although free to strike after midnight Sunday, the union has not set a strike date.

Its leader, Mr. Rutledge, asserts, however, that "we are going to have a stop work meeting which probably will lead to a strike," if a new board is not appointed. The governor declined to appoint an emergency board when requested by the union Thursday. Instead he told the company and union to resume collective bargaining. DEADLOCK CONTINUES Two meetings failed to break the deadlock, the union reported at 5 p.m.

Thursday. mr. xtuueage saia tne union is willing to recede "slightly" from its wage demand for a 23.5 per cent over 1946 rates.

violence would continue as long as the barge was left at the dock," said a statement sent to the pineapple company by the commission. a a a "It was decided that to protect the people of the community from violence and for the protection of property, all efforts to unload at The Dalles should end. The officials of the pineapple company were notified of this decision (by the dock commission)," the statement said. nun The port commission said it was Canceling its agreement with the pineapple company through a clause that allowed this if labor Violence occurred. The commission is an autonomous public body that operates the dock here and other publicly owned river facilities in Wasco county.

Its five members are appointed by the governor. INTIMIDATION DEPLORED A company spokesman later replied, "We deplore the fact that the ILWU (the longshoremen's union) has been permitted to intimidate an American community through a display of violence and brutality." The spokesman, A. K. Tobin, an assistant to the president of Isle-ways, operators of the barge and a subsidiary of Hawaiian Pineapple, added, "for our future course we must continue to exhaust every means of making delivery of this urgently needed cargo." R. M.

Botley, president of Isle-ways, was reported en route to Seattle for a conference with Dave Beck, vice president of the AFL Teamsters' union, on the possibility of unloading the pineapple elsewhere. AFL teamsters drove some of the trucks that loaded pineapple here and at Tillamook. LEASING SUGGESTED Robert Tarr, San Frt icisco, hired by the company as superintending stevedore, said he would recommend that the company "lease a small piece of waterfront somewhere and carry out an operation similar to the one where pineapple Was unloaded at Tillamook." Tarr said he understood privately hired armed guards protected the unloading of a barge on private property there Tuesday. The Hawaiian Pineapple Co. filed a $40,000 damage suit against the longshore union and its key officials late yesterday.

The suit asked $5,000 for damage to equipment, $10,000 for lost time, and $25,000 punitive damages. Attorney Gunether Krause said photographs of the fray were being examined to identify individual participants and file assault complaints. RELEASED BY HOSPITAL Raymond Curto, 40, San Jose, Calif, one of the AFL truck drivers beaten by the longshoremen, was released from the hospital. The other injured driver, Clarence Rosales, 36, San Jose, whose back was broken, will be hospitalized two or three months. ana Tension seethed through this city in the wake of the longshore onslaught that smashed truck windows, slightly injured a dozen people, and dumped cases of pineapple into the Columbia river.

a a a But it was only in the 90 mile distant city of Portland that violence erupted yesterday. There, another load of the Hawaiian pine which CIO longshoremen say is "hot cargo" caused a brief fist fight in a railroad yard and brought out a police riot squad.
