C, Jan. 15.— The Senate Territories Committee will begin tomorrow an investiga- tion into conditions in Hawaii. Chairman Bingham announced today he will call the Secretaries of War and Navy, Attorney General and Admiral Pratt, Chief of Naval Operations, also Hawailan Delegate Victor S. K.

Anti - Saloon League Leader Admits that Democrats Have Chance WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 15.— Democrats have been advised by the Anti-Saloon League Superin- tendent F. Scott McBride, that if they “avoid staggering over a whis- key bottle and nominate an out- standing high class Constitutional« ist they will have a good chance to win” the next election. McBride said we might as well face the fact that there will be no landslide this year in favor of Prohibition as there was in 1928. Tlluminated signs are
