S.?PARTIES OWN SLAYER OF HARA ~ TOOL OF RADICALS OFFICIALS SEARfcHING FOR WELL DRESSED MAN?MARQUIS SAJONJI LIKELY TO BECOME PREMIER WHEN NEW CABINET IS FORMED. Tokyo, Nov. 8.?Ryichi Nakoka, the youth who last night assassinated Premier Takashi Hara, is now thought to have been a tool in a conspiracy to kill the statesman. Thorough search is being made for a well dressed, unidentified man who was observed hurriedly leaving the railway station at Otsuka, where the crime was committed, at the moment Nakoka plunged his sword into the premier's breast. The authorities believe this man to have been the. instigator of the assassination. Premier Hara was about to take a train at 7:30 o'clock for Kioto to attend n mppt.incr nf the Seivukai Dartv. ** ""-"o v- ? f v With him were a number of the party leaders, including Hajim Motoda, former minister of communications; Heikchi Ogawa, Genji Matsunda one )f the party whips,'and M. Yoshiyu. As Mr. Hara passed through/ the ticket onto the station platform, Naioka leaped at him and, exclaiming 'The country's enemy!" plunged a short sword into his left breast, the jlade puncturing a lung. The assassin was seized while the fallen prenier was carried to the station mas ;er's room. First aid was aamimsxer;d and he was taken to his home. He iied within a few minutes after his irrival there. News of the attack had been immediately dispatched to Emperor JToshihito, who sent his lord chamberlain to the premier's bedside. Crown Prince Hirohito was dining at the Tokyo club when word reached him. rhe party dispersed, the prince sending Baron Aarata Hamao, his lord steward, to the Hara residence. The fortnightly dance at the Imper'al hotel, attended by many prominent Japanese, and other gatherings throughout the city, were summarily suspended as the sad news was spread. TV.q urov <-?
