England Is Wondering Over
Effect Of His Death on
Assembly Plans.

TOXIC. Nov. 5.-Cablegrams OK
pressing horror OF the assassination
yesterday of Premier Takashi Hara,
poured into Toxic today from the capi-
tails of virtually all nations. The at.
tack on n. Hara was made by a de-
mented youth and there is not def
mite knowledge as yet that it had its
genesis In the political rancor which
actuated bitter assaults upon NJ. Hara.
and his government in the recent past.
Viscount Cch'da. former japanese
minister 10 the United States and for
eign minister in NJ. Haras cabinet
since 1918, has assumed the post OF
acting premier. pending n possible re-
construction of the government.
Public interest in the assassination
of Premier Hara of Japan was inten'
sified in London by consideration ot
the influence his removal might have
upon Janpan's. attitude toward tho
Washington conference. Newspapers
here today displayed Toxic dispatches
regarding the tragedy with great
prominence and in their editorial col
umns expressed dep sympathy for ia
pan in the loss Of n minister who was
regarded as an enlightened democrat
In the absence Of full details of the
crime, Of which accounts are meagre
and in some respects contradictory
comment upon the incident was some
what restrained.
The Daily News declared the assas
sination was 'very gloomy omen
Just when the affairs of Japan arc
approaching what may be the crisis
Of her history"
The tragedy was described by the
Daily Mail as grave misfortune OF
! the very eve of a conference where 4
was believed NJ. Haras steadying in
fluence would be on the side OF con
ciliation and peace"
