 As news was flashed from London that special airplane left Croydon for Cannes, carrying three men be- lieved to be government officials rumors circulated that Mrs. Simp- son had left for Rome to be a guest of Lord Barclay.
 But members of Mrs. Simpsons entouragc remained here, including her chauffeur. two Scotland Yard detectives, and her motor car, gift of the king.
 Stays in SecIusior
 Mrs. Simpson continued in seclu- sion at the villa of MT. and Mrs Herman L. Rogers, the windows of her bedroom shuttered.
 A pale sun succeeded the rain but the icy wind continued.
 A fog blanketed almost all of France and 1t seemed doubtful whether an ailplane could land near Cannes.
