Following received from Nanking Telegram No.53,
June 12th.
Begins:-
Addressed to Peking No.53, repeated to Shanghai. Doctor Wang told me today confidentially for your information that resignation of Chinese Minister at Washington has been accepted and extraterritoriality negotiations will be transferred here.
He said Central Executive Committee meets tomorrow for two or three days after which President will probably leave for Kiangsi.
Report of shooting of General Ho Ying-chin untrue. General has since telegraphed to the Government. Chen Ming-shu has rejoined his old troops in Kiangsi preparing for march on Canton.
Doctor Wang expressed confidence and seemed cheer- ful. He thought Canton coalition might disintegrate during development of government attack on communists which was most popular whilst civil war was most un-
popular.
