More Leaving for Shanghai.

Canson, Nov. 28.

In response to an invitation by Mr. Wang Ching-wei, the Central Kuomintang Commis- sioners in Can'on are leaving for Shanghai to attend the preliminary acssing of the Kuomintang Commissioners Joint Conference, which will take place between the 3rd and the 5th of December.

Mr. Kam Nai-kwong yester- day left for Hongkong, where he will board a steamer for Chan Messrs, Shanghai. Shiu-yan. Wang Fa-chen. Ku Mang-yu, and several other Commisioners are to leave Canton this morning for Hong- kong.

Mr. Chan Kung-peh will re- main in Canton to take charge of the bivil administration, while General Li Fuk-lam will remain to help General Chang Fat-kwai to take charge of military affairs. The Canton Political Council, according to information from

EARLY BATSMEN FAIL.

Hongkong defeated Malaya by an innings and 25 runs before tiffin to-day, but so lively was the hitting display of the later batsmen that much of the sting was taken out of the heavy defeat.

The first 67 runs were laboriously gathered in 75 minutes, but when the innings closed 39 minutes later, 74 runs had been added, out of which Capt. F. O'N. Ford had contributed 43 (not out), Going in sixth wicket down, he flogged the Hongkong bowling, scoring

25 of the last thirty runs:

It was the most attractive cricket seen during the triangular. interport series brought to a close by this game, and followed another rémarkable collapse by Malaya's early and presumably best wickets. Three wickets were down for 19, six for 67, the best stand being that for the seventh wicket which added 35. NH.P. Whitley played the principal part in this effort going for the bowling and scoring 24, five fours, in fourteen minutes.

With H. R. Rix unfortunately absent, the innings.closed at 141 for 9 wickets, Hongkong winning their second match, having already defeated Shanghai by three wickets.
