MURRAY NOT COMING TO 0AHU, Son Coming as One of the Um pires but Division Chief Must Stay at Home It was definitely learned this morn ing that Major General Arthur Mur ray, commanding the Western Divi sion, would not come to Oahu for the department maneuvers the latter part of this month. Word to this effect was brought by the general's daugh ter. Miss Sadie Murray, and daughter- in-law, Mrs. Maxwell Murray, wno ar rived on the Honolulan. A few weeks ago General Murray stated in a personal letter to a friend In this city that he was "merely wait ing for an opportunity to visit panu again," and the inference from the text of the rest of the letter was that the coming maneuvers might be, the opportunity he was. waiting for. It now develops that the division com mander had been contemplating the trip, but was unable to arrange his plans at the last moment Depart ment headquarters has been rather anxious to find out whether or not General Murray intended to witness succeeded by Hall. .

It was taken as a matter of course that' in-the event of Mr. Wilson's suc cess there would be the extraordinary session.
