Ships Go To Hawaii Wti^hitigjtm, Bept. 27.?The uavj has decided to uhift a "pretty fair sized" force of Yeawels to Hawaii, ii a move which appears to be liukei with the European war and interna tional teiiHion in the Far Kant. A highly-placed official. discussim the decision after a White Houae cou fere nee, asserted that the purpoat was to traiiiiaud decentralize tin fleet and that it involved "no ulterioi motive." The transfer conforms, nevorthe Ichh, to a proposal long under consideration to station a scouting force at the Pacific outpost. The main body of the fleet, including battleships, is to remain on the Pacific coast, where It hurriedly returned In April from an Atlantic cruise that was cut short several weeks by President Roosevelt's order, An early announcement Is expected of Just what vessels will be dispatched to Hawaii. They will be based temporarily at Pearl Harbor, the havy's principal Pacific outpost, advauce base for the fleet in event of American involvement In the Far East. Poarl Harbor is headquarters now for 18 submarines, some 75 patrol bombers and other aircraft, the fleet's mine force of eight ships and miscellaneous auxiliary vessels. It Is safeguarded by the army's largest single garrison, a force of some 23,000, and fortifications rivalled only by those at the Panama canal. Mrs. Rhame Was Hostess Mrs. Boykln Ithame and Mrs, J.
