EMBASSY DEMANDS AMENDS BE MADE “Showdown” Believed Near in Critical Situation as Tokio Threatens Drastic Action. By the Associated Press. SHANGHAI November 10 (Sun- day).—Nearly 2,000 Japanese marines marched into a demilitarized section of Shanghai today after the assassina- tion of one of their comrades, and a “showdown” in critical Sino-Japanese relations appeared at hand. Bayonets fixed, a battalion was mo- bilized from three Japarese warships in the harbor and hurriedly sent into the native quarter where the slaying took place. { ‘They appeared prepared to enforce the threat by the Japanese Embassy of drastic action unless satisfaction is quickly forthcoming. Chinese, re- calling the hostilities of 1932, when | Shanghai was attacked, were panic- stricken. Politics Blamed for Slaying. Political motives were assigned by the Japanese Embassy for the slaying of the marine, Hideo Nakayama, 23. He was shot in the neck and fatally wounded, allegedly by a Chinese. The scene was in the Hongkew district, outside the foreign settlement. Embassy officials immediately called upon Chinese authorities to present their demands. After their visit the chief secretary of the Chinese-controlled municipali of greater Shanghai tendered a. surances to Japanese naval authorities that Chinese officials would co-operate “to the fullest extent” with settlement authorities in the hunt for the slayer. While the scene of the incident was it occurred on the so-called extra settlement road, which is controlled by settlement police. Shortly before noon relatively nor- mal conditions were restored, but the Japanese blue jackets were not withe drawn. Asserting there had been a huge concentration of Chinese troops in this vicinity, the embassy officials said they suspected the slayer was a member of the Chinese army in plain clothes. A tour of the Hongkew district dis- closed an area of a dozen blocks around the scene of the shooting was swarming with bayonet-armed Japa= nese bluejackets. Few Chinese on Streets. Every house was tightly shuttered and scarcely any Chinese were seen. All pedestrians were questioned. Arme ored motor cycles, equipped with ma= chine guns, moved through the streets, while in front of the Japanese naval landing headquarters, only a few blocks from the scene of the slaying, a line of armored cars and trucks stood ready for action. A morgue-like silence prevailed, broken only by the blare of jazz bands in the nearby entertainment district, where all-night cabarets were operat= ing. The seriousness of the incident was aggravated by the fact it follows closely upon an attempt November 1 to assassinate Premier Wang Ching- Wei of China. The attempt. made at Nanking, was attributed to anti- Japanese plotters. Pistol in Shooting Found. Half a dozen suspects have already been arrested and comrades of the | slain marine searched houses for others. The pistol used in the shoot- | ing was found. | The embassy demanded the imme- diate arrest of the assassin. It issued | this statement: | “The affair is serious because it | was an attack on a uniformed member of the Japanese Navy. We hope the Chinese authorities will speedily ar- rest the assailant. “In view of the rumors circulating in the last few days. it is hoped the | Chinese authorities will make an effort to dispel theé dark clouds seeming to hover over Sino-Japanese relations.” (Feeling has been tense because of Japanese activities in Northern China and reports, denied by the Japanese, that they intended to make new de- | mands upon the Nanking govern- ment.) Shot on Sidewalk. Japanese naval officers said: “Na- kayama was shot as he was proceeding along the sidewalk on Darroch road. He suffered a bullet wound piercing the skull from the back of his neck. | “While we have no clue regarding the assailant, we consider the attack a provocation directed at the special naval landing party. “We shall demand not only a thorough investigation by the Bureau | of Public Safety, but shall demand that a complete inquiry be made by the | Shanghai municipal police.
