Shanghai, November 13, 1924—3 p.m.
[Received November 14—7:19 a.m.]

Yesterday afternoon one Chinese man-of-war and four Chinese transports heavily loaded with troops arrived Woosung via north channel and were joined by Admiral Fu’s flagship, three other men-of-war and a transport. While no confirmation is possible it is believed that Wu Pei-fu is in one of the vessels. Gunboat Chutai with Admiral Fu aboard, two cruisers and four transports, proceeded up Yangtze 7 o’clock this morning.
