Hanoi, Dec. 29.
Mr. Wang Ching-wei, Deputy Chief Executive of the Kuomintang, whose whereabouts became the source of much speculation, was definitely ascertained to be in Hanoi yesterday evening.
He is staying in the home of a Chinese friend where he proceeded, in company with Mrs. Wang, following his arrival by air from Kunming on December 21.
Mr. Wang has shunned all outside contacts, declining to attend a dinner given by the Cantonese Club on December 24. He has made it understood among local Chinese that he has no mission.
Local Chinese show little surprise at the "fight" of Mr. Wang from Chungking. Such action by the leader of the more moderate wing of the Kuomintang was freely pre-Gicted here following the return of many overseas Chinese delegates after the first postponement of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Control Executive Council in November. The session, which was then to open on December 15, never took place—
