AP Photos. Most Delegates Remain Uncommitted' Isle Caucus Avoids Choice tered Democrats in the state.l THE PURPOSE of last night's voting was to decide how 19 of Hawaii's 27 delegate votes were to be apportioned for the Democratic Party's national convention. The eight remaining votes be long to the states top elected Democratic officials and party officers. On the ballot were Mondale.

Democratic presidential hope- running "a marathon all the way to California" for the Democratic presidential nomination. Before the New Hampshire mary, speculation was rampant that Mondale might wrap up the nomination in yesterday's balloting. After New Hampshire, there was talk of a Hart tidal wave capable of sinking Mondale.

But the mixed bag of results from the nine primaries and caucuses yesterday left both camps agreeing that neither will have it easy from now until the San Francisco convention in July. "It's going to be a marathon all the way to California," Mondale told supporters yesterday. "This is going to be a long, tough fight," said Hart campaign manager Oliver Henkel. Of the five primaries yesterday. Hart carried Florida.

Massachusetts and Rhode Island, while Mondale was the winner in Georgia and Alabama. Hart and Mondale were only a few votes apart in Oklahoma caucuses, while Hart lumped to a comfortable lead in Washington. CAUCUS results from Hawaii had Mondale winning only 5 of 27 delegates up for grabs, with the other 22 remaining uncommitted. Hart was leading Mondale in Nevada's caucuses. Hart looked assured of a majority of the 51 1 delegates chosen on the campaign's busiest day so far, but Mondale continued to hold the overall lead.

Of the delegates selected since the process began, Mondale had Election Editorial and Analysis, A-14 301 and Hart 165. John Glenn had 28 delegates and the Rev. Jesse Jackson 34. George McGovern, saying he would "fully accept the verdict of my special friends, the voters of Massachusetts," was the latest casualty of the race after finishing third in the state that stood alone in his column in 1972. "1 feel younger this morning than I did in 1972 when I was defeated by former President Nixon," McGovern said on ABCs "Good Morning America." His departure cuts the Democratic field to four.

The race began with eight contenders. Hart said he talked to McGovern today but didn't get an endorsement "He said that Vice President Mondale is in his judg- Tum to Page A-4, Col. 1 By Donald M. Rothberg Associated Press Walter Mondale and Gary Hart, each missing opportunities to sprint to an early victory, emerged from the Super Tuesday primaries and caucuses resigned to Democratic Race Boils Down to 2 By Ann Devroy and Don Campbell Gannett Sews Service WASHINGTON Super Tuesday's nine primaries and caucuses reinforced the view that the Democratic presidential race is a two-man affair, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the two Gary Hart and Walter Mondale are political equals. George McGovern's departure from the race last night actually left four active competitors, but John Glenn and Jesse Jackson found little encouragement in a variety of second-, third- and fourth-place finishes in the South.

No matter how you cut the numbers. Hart came out far ahead, though Mondale retains his lead In total delegates to the Democratic National Convention. But Mondale got what he needed most, which was a break in his losing streak, albeit by unimpressive victories in the Deep South states of Alabama and Georgia. MONDALE NOW goes into several caucuses this Saturday favored to win in most because of a superior organization laid well before Hart burst out of the Democratic pack. But Hart can look ahead to major primaries in the industrial North having demonstrated uncommonly broad support in several major states yesterday, according to exit polls conducted by ABC News.

Despite Mondale's lock on union endorsements, for example, he did not have all the union votes. Only in Alabama did Mon- Tr to Page A-4, CoL 2 Suspect Arraigned in VVVakiki Rapist7 By Gregg K. Kakesako Star-Bulletin Wnter Following Gov. George Ariyoshi's lead, Hawaii Democrats last night decided to keep "uncommitted" the majority of their 27 delegate votes in the hotly contested presidential candidate race, giving only five votes to Walter Mondale. The results were viewed as a defeat for U.S.

Sen. Daniel Inouye, who campaigned to deliver Hawaii to Mondale and who also is co-chairman of the National Democratic Convention, scheduled for San Francisco in July. Odetta Fujimori, co-chairman of the local Mondale committee, was obviously disappointed as she watched the results being tabulated at Democratic Party headquarters downtown. But Fujimori said her organization, which had the support of the Hawaii Government Employees Association and the Hawaii State Teachers Association, had "an uphill battle" because it was pitted against the political army of Ariyoshi and Mayor Eileen Anderson. "We knew it was going to be difficult." Fujimori said.

Her job now is "to pick up votes at the state convention we can float out there and keep our eyes on the uncommitted." A total of 2.830 Democrats participated in 300 precinct elections statewide. (There are 30,000 regis fuls Gary Hart and John Glenn had ureed their supporters to vote "uncommitted." Of the 2.8)0 votes cast. 1.798 persons voted uncommitted, 914 voted for Mondale, and 118 for Jackson. In a complicated formula, the party broke down the results of the balloting so that five dele gates went to Mondale with 14 remaining uncommitted. Of the eight voles apportioned to party officers and elected offi-cials, only Inouye and US.

A total of 11 other rape victims looked him over last night from about 5 to 7 p.m. in four lineups in which ktims were grouped to see if they could identify him, according to Lt.

Robert Aton, head of the police rape detail.

Kealohapauole 26, who police say may be the "Makiki rapist" responsible for perhaps 14 rapes in Makiki and other Oahu locations since 1982, was arraigned in District Court today on rape, robbery and burglary charges. Kealohapauole was arrested yesterday on warrants charging him with breaking into a Kewalo Street woman's apartment on July 23, 1982 and raping and robbing her.

After today's court session Kealohapauole was taken to Oahu Community Correctional Center, unable to post his total $150,000 bail. Kealohapauole had a limp as he walked toward District Judge George T.H. Pai. who read the charges against him. Soft-spoken and neatly dressed in a light blue aloha shirt, the stocky Kealohapauole told Pai.

REMAINING CALM throufihout his brief court appearance, he then limped from the courtroom into a security area accompanied by guards. A number of friends and relatives were in attendance.

Similar boards are operating on Maui and the Big Island, ith the encouragement and sometimes financial support of the state Department of Planning and Economic Development The goals of the boards are to encourage economic growth by tapping private sector resources and targeting industries each county would like to nurture. By uniting government and private action, the boards seek to make the climate in their counties more attractive to new busi- 924.000 as of July 1, 1981. to as of July 1. 1982, and 9G8.00Q as of July 1, 198,1 The Census Bureau also gave a provisional estimate putting the-de facto population at l.118.M9 as of July 1, 1983, including Hawaii Visitors Bureau estimates that there were more than 100.000 visitors present that day. De facto population includes the number of persons physically present in an area, regardless of whether they are visitors or residents.

THE RESIDENT population increase results partly from excess of births over deaths and partly from migration to Hawaii. Schmitt said out migration figures are skewed because one-fourth of all babies born here are children of military couples. When the parents are transferred, the children leave also. Anderson has tried twice before to establish such a board but was stymied by the City Council, which would not ap-C prove funding.

However, there has been an increase in recent years in the number of fairly affluent people in their 40s or 50s who are retired or semi-retired and who have moved to Hawaii, sometimes to live just part of the year, he said. A few jean earlier most of the migrants to Hawaii were young people, he said. By Harry Whitten Star-Bulletin Writer The resident population of Hawaii is now more than a million. Word that this landmark figure has been reached comes from the U.S.

Bureau of the Census, which estimated Hawaii population at 1.023.245 as of July 1. 113. This compares with the actual census count in April 1900 of 964.691 for the state. Thus the population has increased 8.1 percent in the three years. The Census Bureau's estimates were sent to Robert C.
