The situation in Peking remains at @ complete deadlock.
President Li Yuan-hung has for the moment abandoned issuing mandates. His attempt to get support from Chang Tso-lin appears to be a failure.
Meanwhile the split in the Tientsin party, that is to say th supporters of: Tsao Kun, is widening. Two hundred and twant M.P.'s have declared themsel against the recent expulsion of Li Yuan-hung.
Tsao Kun, himself, now says that he wilh not take office as President unless he is properly elected, which, as matters stand, is an impossibility.
Wu Pei-fu is clearly opposed to Tsao Kun's election.
