Cancellation Has No Connection With Oriental Trouble
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. (U.P.) — A strong possibility that extensive naval maneuvers scheduled at Hawaii in February may be cancelled because of unrest in Honolulu and other sections was admitted today by Secretary of Navy Adams.
SECRET REPORTS
The department has received numerous reports from Rear Admiral Yates Stirling, Jr., commandant of the Hawaiian naval district, describing conditions since the attack upon a naval officer's wife last month. None of these reports has been made public.
It was indicated the department is also contemplating withdrawal of liberty privileges in the event the maneuvers are held. Under present plans, 53 different ships would attack Hawaii in a "mimic warfare" problem.
Shore leave during the stay in Hawaiian waters would be extended to approximately 20,000 sailors.
DENY CONNECTION
Both the state department and Adams denied the contemplated cancellation of maneuvers has any connection with the Manchurian situation. Assistant Secretary of State William R. Castle, Jr., said there had been no conferences on the matter between state and navy department officials.
