China Sees Political Move.

Pekin-Certain Chinese officials
received information at a late hour
Friday that the American feet OF
battleships will not visit Chi Flu, as
has been expected here. This news is
regarded here as meaning that the
American government reconsidered
its acceptance OF the invitation ex-
tended by China, and to be a result OF
representations made by American Of.
ficials in China, who feel that the fleet
should not come to Chinese port.
They base their conviction on the
belief that such a visit would give
China a false impression az to the at.
titude and intentions of the United
States regarding Manchuria. China
had planned a program for the Amerl-
can visitors. and was preparing to
give them an unprecedented welcome.
