Show JAP CALLS U. S. OFFICER IN NIGHT Honolulu. Nov 2. A midnight conference con-ference was held between Collector of Port Franklin, Deputy Collector Sharp and the Japanese consul here last night and wireless messages were exchanges ith the United States rev- enue cutter Thr-ti. patrolling outside the harbor. Collector Franklin appeared perturbed, per-turbed, and was uncommunicative as to the cause of the meeting at that unusual hour. Two large Japanese cruisers, the Hien and the Asama are hovering outside the harbor, near where the Thetis is on duty, but whether the conference and the mes sages had to do with them or not could not be learned from any official offi-cial source , |
