He said that the confer- ence movement may be viewed in the light of great hopefulness be- cause apart from the enthusiastic support he had received from various public organisations in
ind Shanghai and other cities China, he had also obtained, per- sonal assurances from the lead- ing military men of China. He read out a list of names of the in- fluential leaders including Sun A. B. Stewart and H. R. Buck-Yat-sen, Li Yuan-hung, Chang Tso-lin, Wu Pei-fu, Chi Sheyuan, Lu Yuang-hsiang, Tang Chi-yao, Sun Chuan-fang, Hsiao Yao-aan, Ho Feng-lin, Chen Chiung-ming.
