A-2-B Honolulu Nov. 4, 1970 Only 5 of 53 Legislators Lose Seats By Buck Donham Star Bulletin Writer Only five out of 53 incumbents seeking re-election to the State Legislature got dumped in yesterday's general election: There were no real upsets. The Democrats held on to large majorities, 64 per cent in the Senate and 67 per cent in the House. One Senate seat remains open. It belonged to Democratic Sen.

Larry N. Kuriyama, who was killed less than two weeks ago. The Republicans kept their eight seats in the Senate and picked up four for a total of 17 in the House. The Republicans, however, fell one House seat short of their goal, which would have given them more than one-third of the votes and a veto over capital improvement budget items. IN THE SENATE, two of the 19 incumbents lostDemocrat James K.

Behind-the-scene dealings are expected to. be intense the rest of the week in the organizational fight for control of the House. Kato appeared to be increasingly confident of strong backing from the A battle for the gavel.

Clark Says Loss Caused by Switch By Nadine Wharton Star-Bulletin Writer State Sen. James K. Clark lost his bid to keep his Third District seat in the Senate because he switched last year from the Republican Party to the Democrats, he said today. But if he had to lose, he said, "it is much better to lose as a Democrat than to win as a hypocrite." He said the political philosophy of the Democratic party is much closer to his own philosophy than that of the Republican and that he switched parties for that reason and certainly not for political expediency. Clark lost the race by 647 VICTORY SNACK--She wasn't a candidate but she smiled like a winner.

"In spite of the best campaign I've ever conducted, just couldn't overcome it." Clark is deputy managing director of the Hawaii Government Employes Association.

Goro Hokama is thus automatically elected outright, since he was the sole candidate from Lanai to file for the primary election. AT THIS POINT, neither has the 26 solid votes to organize the 51-member House, but a coalition with Republicans appears to be out of the question. Last night Rep. Buddy Soares, Republican leader, said the 17 Republican members have nothing to gain by making an alliance with a Democratic faction.

Soares said he wanted "to let the Democrats fight it out among themselves." By contrast, the Senate is quiet. The most powerful figure in the Senate up to now has been Nadao Yoshinaga, who suffered a heart attack a month ago and is still in Kuakini Hospital. His faction which is aligned with Gov. John A. Burns, the ILWU, or both is in clear control.

It is considered to have at least nine sure votes and probably more: incumbent President David C. McClung, incumbents John Ushijima, Stanley I. Hara, Mamoru Yamasaki, Donald S. Nishimura, Kenneth F. Brown, Yoshinaga and firsttermers Francis Wong and Robert S.
