Mukden's Alleged Approval

A PARLIAMENT FOR SHANGHAT

According to "the Shanghai Journal of Commerce" Marshal Tuan Chi-jui, the Anfu leader, has issued an order to the members of Parliament inviting> them to convene at Hangchow, where Gen. Lu Yung-hsiang, Military Governor of Chekiang, who is an adherent of Tuan, has promised to grant them use of the famous Lin Yin temples as headquarters. Meanwhile an invitation has been received by the M.P.'s from Canton urging them to meet in the south. Marshal Chang Tso-lin, the Mukden warlord, in a telegram, approves of the decision of President Li Yuan-hung to come to Shanghai with Parliament and function here.

The local Commercial Federation has urged Dr. Sun Yat-sen to assume the Presidency, but whether the southern leader will accede to this request has not yet been made public.

Various organizations in Shanghai have telegraphed to Drs. W. W. Yen and Wellington Koo urging them to leave Peking immediately. The senders of these messages denounce Dr. C. T. Wang for supporting Marshal Tsao Kun, the Chihli warlord, who is fighting for the presidency.
