SHOOTING SENSATION
KUOMINTANG CONFERENCE. THREE delegates wounded. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 8.0 p.m.) Nanking, November 1. A shooting sensation, occurred at the opening session of the National Kuomintang conference. While the delegates were being photographed a person, described by a Japanese newspaper as a man, whipped out a revolver and fired repeatedly, seriously wounding Wang Ching-wei, a former Chinese Premier and Foreign Minister, at the same time wounding Chang-chi, a veteran member of the Kuomintang, and Kanai-kuan, chief of the Chiang Kai-shek’s political training bureau. The assailant was immediately shot down by Wang’s® bodyguard. Wang, who was hit above the cheek, was rushed to hospital. He is expected to recover. The assailant was critically injured and taken to the same hospital, which troops and police are guarding. The conference adjourned indefinitely.
