4 HANKOW CAPTURED, REPORT DECLARES Fall of Hanyang Likewise Is Told in Dispatches London, July 18 (P—A Reuters dispatch from Shanghal says that a message from well informed sources in Hankow reports the capture of both Hankow and Hanyang, near- by frgm the southern extremists by General Ho Chlen, the conservative southern commander. General Ho Chien is reported have carried out a: coup d'etat against the radicals, occupying Han- yang yesterday and Hankow today. He is also said to have captured railway and other strategic points. The general has been commandant of the garrison at Wuchang, op- posite Hankow. The maneuver is stated to have been executed with remarkable smoothness, adds the dispatch. There was no sign of a military movement. Probably the over- throwing of the communists, says Reuters correspondent, has the ap- proval of the Hankow government as a preparatory move to the latter coming out on the side of the mod- erates. It was General Ho Chien who, with his Honanese troops, Jbroke up the farms and peasants union in Honan last month. The general recently executed members of communists at Wuchang. Meantime the Yangtze is alive with troops movements, down river from Hankow and up river from Nanking, General Chiang Kai-8hek during the past few days has heen withdrawing troops from the north toward Pukow and simultaneously has been bringing up considerable forces from the Shanghai and Hang- chow areas for the expected Yangtze campaign. However, the -latest developments at Hankow, including the departure of Michael Borodin, Russian adviser to the Hankow government, and the absence of signs usually accompan ing the launching of a majdr off sive, raise a doubt as to whether Wuchang would attempt to with- stand: a Nanking drive. The outstanding result of these developments is said to be the liqui- dation of the threat of any dangers to the large foreign communities at Peking, Tientsin and Tsingtao from a nationalist advance. Both Drivers of One Car Are Fined and Jailed Greenwich, Conn., July 18 (A—An automobile which figured in a crash on the Boston Post road yesterday had two drivers, it appeared today when Paul Bosca and Eustin Sab- insky were each fined $100 and costs with 30 days in jail for op- erating while under the influence of liquor. Bosca was driving when the car hit that of Albert M. Coe of Port Chester. Bosca skipped leaving the car in the street but Sabinsky drov it away. Each man was later ar- rested by a diffenet officer as the responsible driver and in court to- to day Judge Mead decided that both | men were responsible for the ac- cident owing to their unfit condition.
