of a consultation between Wu Ching-lien and the Senate Ad- ministrative Committee, Septem- ber 13 will be chosen for the preliminary meeting for the election of a President.

three days.
It will be remembered that in. the case of Hsu Shih-cbang, the regular election occurred the day after the preliminary meeting.
Much depends upon whether a quorum can be formed,
