Paraphrase telegram from Hongkong 18 August 1913.
Prodrome
Peking
In reply to your telegram of 14th.instant, Wei Yuk is
entirely unfitted as he has no financial or administrative
ability. Mr. Jamieson, with whom I discussed the matter,
is of opinion that the late Viceroy, Chang Hing Chi would
be acceptable to Cantonese and would be a good appointment.
I agree with the Consul-General.
May.
