MANY AGITATORs SEIZED.
Plot to Stir Fight i'm Hankow Con
cessions Is Nipped.

HANKOW. June Is CP.--Many
agitaters of the Kuomintang, or
Peoples party, have been arrested and
a quantity of arms and ammunition
seized as the result of the discovery
of an unsuccessful plot to cause fight
ing at the foreign concessions Sunday
night, .s.4.
The American consul and Chinese
officials conferred regarding evidence
-of Kuomintang connivance to bring
about q clash between Chinese troops
guarding the foreign concessions and
the foreign guards also stationed
there. The Chinese garrison COM
mander admitted he had received in
formation that agitatefs with bombs
and guns intended to approach the
concession lines and fire upon both
the Chinese and foreign forces, in
teAding to create the impression that
eacht was being attacked and thus to
cause the two forces guarding the
concessions to commence fighting
each other. Each side was warned
and evaded the trap.
Quiet prevailed here today with
local volunteers and naval forces
from foreign ships still standing by
in readiness for any emergency. The
British light cruiser Despatch was
expected to arrive this afternoon.

tary Chamberlain II is not supposed
that a more definite line will be
adopted. IT Ia understood that the
government attaches importance 10
the expected communications of the
British ambassador to the United
States, Sir Esme Howard. who is due
today from Washington where he dis.
cussed the situation with Secretary of
State Kellogg.
It is felt that one of the most diff
cult factors of the situation is the
instability of the Chinese government
and the early summoning OF the
Chinese customs conference fore
shadowed in, the Washington treaties
would apparently be welcomed as a
possible means of strengthening the
Chinese administration by providing it
with funds.
While public opinion here is much
varied, ranging from the attitude of
the extremist laborites. who favor a
policy of nonintervention. TO a demand
for strong forceful measures, includ-
ing some underlined action against
Soviet Russia. whose alleged intrigues
are said to be mainly responsible for
the trouble.

had decided to keep the Persian

That point was made clear by the
prince in his comment, when he de-
clared that the situation might have
been saved If the conference had only
adopted clause which. he averred,
Great Britain herself approved before
the geographical subcommittee. This
was a general declaration that all
nations would be treated on an equal
footing in the special maritime zones.
