MOSCOW ORDERS CITY OF FLINT TO LEAVE

London, To-day,

THE MOSCOW WIRELESS announced last night that the American steamer, City of Flint, has been ordered to leave Murmansk as soon as pos- sible.

The ship had been searched, continued the Moscow wireless, and the cargo had been checked. The broadcast made no mention of the American crew or the circumstances in which the ship had

been ordered to leave. ISOLATION

It also did not mention whether the

City of Flint was leaving under the Nazi flag or not...

A Washington message says that at his press conference yesterday afternoon, Mr. Cordell Hull, Secre- tary of State, said that very little in- formation about the City of Flint had been received from either Berlin or Moscow.
