A number of members of the provin-

TO Tang Shao vi at Shanghai asking
him to accept the governorship OF
Kwangtung. Tang already has been
offered the premiership in the Kicking
administration.
1t has been learned that Sun Yat-
Sen desired to Leave Canton aboard
an American warShip. but the in
formation was conveyed to him un-
officially that he could not do Sc
unless his life was in danger.
1t was said unofficially that the
commander of the Japanese destroy
ers at Canton offered to take Sun to
Hongkong but he declined and went
aboard the British gunboat Moorhen.
Only Five in Party.
Sun had planned to take a party
OF eight other supporters with him
to Hongkong. and thence to Shang-
hal, but the Moorhen had accommo-
dations only for FIVE. The other
four were left aboard Suns cruiser

1t is believed here that the defeat
of his army in the north and the be-

he remained longer at Canton were
the incentives that prompted the de-
posed southern leader to flee.

in Canton followed Sun Yat-Sen's

He added that Sun Yat-Sen might
soon leave for Peking, a step which
President Ii Yuan Hung has been
urging the southern leader to take
for some time.
Mr.. Chen pointed out that Gen. WI
Pei-fu, whose military campaign
cleared the way for the reconvening
of the old republican parliament at
Peking, could reunite the country at
one stroke. by rendering the presi-
dency to Sun. Mr.. Chen admitted
that WI Pei-fu had been comuni-

ceptance which. Mr.. Cuyler declared,
the committee "hopes will be well
received by both the President and
the country.
VIII Only Take Needed Men.
The reply expresses accord with the
view of the administration that the
Railroad Labor Boards jurisdiction
must be the foundation for any set
tlement of the strike.
Then, to eliminate any misunder-
standing as to the meaning of Pres
ident Harding's suggestion that the
striking shop crafts men be returned
to their old positions, the reply stipu-
lates:
THAT the roads will give jobs to only
as many of the strikers as may be re-
uuired to bring shop forces up to nor
NAL, thus insuring the jobs of loyal EN-
ployes and new men acquired since the
strike began.
THAT strikers who are rehired must
return as new men, with the under
standing that their claims to unimpaired
seniority rights shall later be submitted
to the Railroad Labor Board for de-
cision.
