EMIGRANT PERSISTENT IN
 EFFORT TO ENTER COUNTRY
Fourth Round Trip to Brazil to Prove
 Mental Qualifications.

New York, March 23-Back again to Brazil goes Nathan Cohen, champion sea traveller, who has lived aboard the Lamport and Holt liner Vasari, since last Nal, with adnittance denied him both here and in Brazil because of his mental condition. He will sail on his fourth round trip, March 27 and, unless all signs fail, he will be back in New York harbor again in six weeks. Then his friends ashore will make a real attempt to have him landed.
 Cohen's last sea voyage seemed to benefit him greatly, and physicians believe that when the Vasari makes fast to her dock in Brooklyn again, he will be well. Samuel Lippman. the Ellis Island representative of the He brew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society of America, decided today not to risk Cohen's chances of landing with a board of inquiry till he Is further improved. He believes that the Il 900 mile trip to Brazil will make Cohen entirely well. Then the bar to his admittance to the United States will be removed.
 But Cohen's travels will not end then, according to the society's plans. When he lands here-if he is permit ted to land-the society expects to let him remain ashore long enough to know how it feels to stand on earth and then put him aboard another ship and send him to Russia. He has rel atives in Russia and wants to go there, MT. Lippman said. Cohen lived h Russian Poland before he emigrated to Brazil
