Details Unconfirmed, Say Authorities (Received December 29, 8.20 p.m.) TOKIO, December 28. The spokesman of the Nayy Office said no information had been received confirming the claim that the Nauru raider flew' the .Japanese flag and used a Japanese name. The local newspapers treated the story of the raid lukewarmly, carrying brief dispatches from Melbourne without commenting on the flag angle.
