BUSINESS Is WORRIED.
Chaos Feared Under New Chinese
Leaders.

By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
KYOTO, October 3o.-Speciai dis
patches and private advices from
Peklng indicate the opening of a new
phase of China's political troubles,
which it was at first hoped Gen. Feng
Yu Hsiang's coup might terminate, tenn
porarily at least. The Imminent elm
inauon of Gen. WI Pei Flu and Presi-
dent Tsao Kun by Chang Tso Lin, Feng
Yu Hsiang and Sun Vat Sen. with
Tuan Chi Jul as their president has
caused a, panic among a number of
financial, mercantile and political COM
binations which had placed all their
eggs in WI Pei Fu's basket, believing
hlm surely to be the strong man of
China.
While undoubtedly Chang Tso Lin
and Tuan Chi Jul might be rega arded
as most friendly to Japan. which loaned
Tuan Chi Jul some 200, 100000 yen. of
which he has so far repaid neither
principal nor interest, it is not at all
certain that Japan welcomes the entire
new combination, which, IL an agree
ment were reached, undoubtedly would
hasten unification of those elements in
China which for more than a decade
have been divided.
Sun Yat Sen will not join the combi-
nation unless the original constitution
and a new representative assembly
are pledged, while it is doubtful IL
the views of Feng Yum HsiaDg. Tuan
Chi Jul, Sun Vat Sen and Chang Tso
Lin regarding centralization and decen-
tralization can be reconciled. It IS
quite evident now that Wu Pei Flu has
been inspired with fresh hopes, while
the extreme nervousness among the
various representative groups betrays
anxiety as to what is best and that
the new control Of Peking may mean
disintegration Of their carefully laid
plans. DR.. c. T. Wang, who is the
natural selection as premier under the
new temporary victorious combina-
ton, is now reported as positively de-
clining. He says the views of the va
rious factions are irreconcilable.
