CONCESSION.
A DEEPLY-LAID PLOT.
An attempt to assassinate. Marshal Chiang Kai-shek, the second within a week, was made in Shanghai yesterday morning, according to reliable reports. Official confirmation la impossible to obtain, the authorities having, apparently, been instructed to hush the affair up as far as possible.
It la, however, said that shots were fired at the Marshal as he stopped off the running-board of his motor-car to enter his private residence in the French Concession. A bullet missed him by inches only.
His bodyguards seized a man in the vicinity, and it is believed that he is detained on suspicion of having tired the shots.
A strange account appears in the Shanghai Times this morning of the previous attempt on the life of the Marshal. According to this journal the venture 'was made on Friday evening, whereas the Telegraph contained a full report of the alarming affair on Friday afternoon, this stating that the incident occurred on Tuesday.

It is understood that Marshal Chiang Kai-shek was fired at yesterday after a visit to Mr. Sun Fo, who is reported to have resigned his post with the National Government.
