Several Versions Are Given Out--One That Rus-
 sia Approached Sweden
ANOTHER THAT FINNS
 REFUSED SOVIET TERMS
Roosevelt Envoy Welles Is Playing Leading Part In
 Peace RumOrS
BY PETER c. RHODES United Press Staff Correspondent)

United Press Staff Correspondent) Copenhagen, D enm lark, March 2. = (UP) - Persist ent reports were circulated in Baltic capitals today that Russia was seeking media tion to end the Russo Finnish war. There were several ver- sions, one that Russia had approached Sweden alone, another that Sweden and Germany were working together on Russia's initiative, a third that Fin- land had already declined Swedish mediation because Russia's terms were too drastic.
 A fourth version, published by the Berlingske Tidende here today, was that not only Sweden, Germany and Russia; but Finland itself were eii- gagged in the peace effort.
 Berlingske Tidende,s dispatch as- serted that though official confirn1a- ton was lacking there was unifn- peachable evidence that peace nego- tiations were going on at Stockholm, with Russians, Films, Swedes and Germans taking part.
 Going On Several Days
 According to this report prelim- mary negotiations had been going on between Russia and Finland for several days. J. E. Erkko, Finnish minister to Sweden, and Mme. Alex andra Kollontai, Russian minister, were participating in negotiations with the Swedish foreign office and that J. K. Paasikivi, minister with out portfolio in the Finnish govern. ment, was in Stockholm in behalf of the Finnish government.
 Otto Dietrich, German NaZi press chief, was said to be here, as well as one general Rosenbroyer, repre- senting Field Marshal Baron Carl Gustav Mannerheim, Finnish com- mander in chief. Rosenbroyer was said to have consulted Dr. Wipert Won Bluecher, German minister at Helsinki, before he went to Stock holm.
 This dispatch said also that Axel Wenner-G -Gren. internationally known Swedish capitalist, had returned hastily to Stockholm from Paris to join in the negotiations. It was as- serted that he had accompanied Sumner Welles, President Roosevelt's special envoy to Europe, to Italy, gone on to Paris and then come here. Wenner- Gren has important inter- ests in Finland.
 The peace reports reached Copen- hagen along with Swedish reports that the Finnish position at Viipuri was grave and that the possibility of allied intervention must be consid- cred seriously.
 Oppose Plan of Allies
 Scandinavian newspapers asserted the Allies planned to land troops for Finland in the Scandinavian coun- tries and that the plans must be firmly opposed.

to the gay colorS that would have adorned her in peacetime, reached quarantine shortly after 10 a. m, EST - just a few minutes too late to make the passage up the Hudson River to its pier without the hazards of tide. Because of the danger of the push of the tide on her fifth-of- a-mile length 1t was decided to wait until low slack tide in mid-afternoon before docking.
 Thousands lined the New Jersey and New York shores for glimpse of the liner, riding high because she carried no cargo. The biggest crowd collected opposite Pier 90, at west 50th street, New York City, the Queens berth.
 An early New Jersey police estimate placed the crowd along Boulevard East, running through Weehawken, West New York, Gutenberg, Union City and North Bergen at 10000.
 War Time Conditions
 The voyage of the $28, 8,500,000 ship was made under war time conditions. Concerned because her 14-deck area made her an easy target for bombs if and when a "blitzkrieg" comes, British officials ordered the Queen Elizabeth from her shipyard at Clydebank, moved to New York with utmost secrecy on March 2.
 The first definite word that the race had been won came in the gray light of dawn when an airplane carrying the first Americans to sight the ship saw the Queen Eliza beth foaming through the waters, her wake a mile long, apparently as fast as her giant engines would drive her.

BILL
 UP TO ACCUSED
Judge Inglis Denies Mo- tiOns of Convicted Men
 For State to Pay

Judge Ernest c. Inglis in a mem orandum of decision filed in the local Superior Court this morning denies all motions of those con- victed in the Waterbury million dol- lar conspiracy trial who sought to have the, state bear the expense of printing the evidence. sF9E5
 The judge in his momorandulii states that 1t is his opinion that the men who seek the state to bear the expense of the printing can raise the money necessary to pay their expense of the cost of printing by borrowing or other ways.
 The filing of the memorandum by the judge who presided at the conspiracy trial this morning came as big surprise. It was not thought that Judge Inglis would make known his decision for week or two at least. The motions were heard by Judge Inglis in the Superior Court at Hartford on Tuesday and Judge Inglis' memorandum was evil dently in the mail last night, which means that it took him only a day to reach his decision.
 Those Who Appealed
 Those who filed motions seeking the state to bear the expense of the printing of the evidence on the grounds that they were unable to bear the expense themselves and were entitled under the state statute to the right of appeal in their cases were former Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor, Attorney Henry Minor and Philip Coppeto of this city and George H. Kingsley and John c. Meany of New York. The motions of Attorney Minor and Philip Coppeto were not pressed at the hearing on the motions on Tues day so the other three men were really the only ones involved.

 Washington, March 7-(UP)-Sen. Rush D. Holt, D., w. Va, has aban- doned hope of a majority for his arl- ti-third term resolution but said to- day that he would introduce 1t to compel senate discussion of the pro- priety of Presient Roosevelt'S possi- ble re-nomination.
 The third term movement con- tinued to expand in statements of MT. Roosevelt's political friends and preparations in primary states to obtain convention delegations pledg- ed to his candidacy.
 On the Republican front there was satisfaction with returns from a congressional by-election in Iowa's sixth district. The district remained Republican, as was expected. What cheered the G. O. P. here was a comparison of percentages of Re- publican and Democraticx votes in the past five elections of which Democrats won once, in 1884. Here is the Republican share of the vote: 1892, 5s per cent; 1884, 48 per cent: l036, 53 per cent; 1888, 59 per cent; l04O, 6i per cent.

SIXTEEN SHIPS OF ITALY HELD
100000 Tons of German Coal Aboard - British
 Reply Polite, Firm
By H. L. PERCY

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 London, March 7-(UP)-P Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain is discussing with key cabinet minis ters the governments reply to the Italian protest against its blockade, in view of the potential importance of the dispute, 1t was understood today.
 Sixteen Italian ships, carrying 1000 tons of German coal for Italy, were now held in the Downs contraband control area off the Kentish coast, after the release of one, the Loasso, on the ground that 1t left Rotterdam before Britain clamped down its deadline on Ger man coal at midnight March 1.
 Arthur Henderson, labor, tabled a question in the House of Com mons asking Chamberlain to make 8 statement Monday lon the diver gence of views which has arisen between the Italian government and the British government over i'm. ports of German coal to Italy"
 It was believed that the question might have been submitted by ar. rangement with Chamberlain, as k done frequently to permit a state ment on an important subject.
 British Reply Polite, Firm
 Britaii1's reply to the Italian pro- test, which was directed not alone against the coal ban but against the whole blockade, was expected to be polite but firm, and to uphold Britains' right under international law to seize German exports.
 The government may cite Italy's own attitude in the last war, when as one of the Allies, she aided in blockading German exports. (At the start of this war, Britain mod eled its blockade rules partly after those of the United States in the World War, so that an American precedent might be cited for Ameri- icala protests against the blockade )
 Britain's note to Italy's was ex- pected to say also that Italy alone among neutrals had been granted a concession as regards the ban on German exports because Britain de- sired that Italy should be able to make arrangements to obtain an
