British Search Fails
10 Find Mufti Aboard
Transport at Port Said
BY The As.oeioied Press

LONDON, June 15.-The British
transport Devonshire was stopped
and searched off Port Said in a de-
termined British hunt for the miss
ing Multi of Jerusalem, an admiralty
spokesman announced tonight.
The government is taking all pos
slole steps to prevent the Mutt of
Jerusalem from reaching the Middle
East, and the search of the Devon
SHIRE was one of the routine meas
ures made necessary by the news
that he escaped from France" the
spokesman said.
In Syria, meanwhile, Premier
saadbullah Bey Jabiri, taking cogni-
zance of widespread rumors that the
Mutt, Hal Amin Ell Husseini, was
IN hiding there, announced that
neither his government nor any Off
clal thereof has any knowledge" of
the whereabouts of the spiritual
leader of Palestine's Arabs.
1nnumerable rumors followed the
disclosure that the Mufti had dis
appeared in May from his place of
exile in France, and there have been
frequent reports that he had fed to
Damascus at time when the Arab
League was meeting in extraordinary
session on the Palestine problem.
The Multi is an outspoken foe OF
Jewish immigration into Palestine.
The Syrian Premier described as
particularly ridiculous one recent
report that the Mutt was hiding at
the home of Syrian President
Shukry Al Kuwatly.
The admiralty spokesman declined
to say whether any special mlorma
ton on the Mufti's whereabouts led
to the search of the DevonShire. we
don't think he was on it," the
spokesman said.
A senior British naval officer at
Port Said refused to give out any
information about the DeVonShire.
