SHANGHAI, Feb. 2nd. General Ho Ying Ching in an interview told Chinese Prezamen that the recent rumours of a split between Marshal Feng Yu Hsiang and Maribai Chiang Kai Sher and the Kwangai Clique were antirely without foundation. He attributed these rumours to re-actionary elements who intended to ever throw the present régime.

He added that Marshals Feng, Yen and Chiang would, return to Nanking very soon. Marshal Feng has only ordered a part of his cadets to Honan and his staff were still staying at Nanking. The Third Knomintang Delegate Conference would be held on the scheduled date.
