According to George Kanahele's book, "Hawaiian Music and Musicians". He says that;
"The Victor Talking Machine Company was the first to arrive in the Territory in 1905, and in the next year that powerful company recorded and released 53 Hawaiian records, most of them by Nani Alapai, the Hawaiian Girls from Kawaiaha'o Seminary, and the Ellis Brothers Quartet and Glee Club, performing "Aloha Oe," "Waipi'o," "Old Plantation," Hawai'i Pono'i,""Tomi Tomi" and other favorites of the day.
I have found some mp3's of old 78's from two great websites;

Some really neat stuff.

haunts me sleeping and waking."
