NOTE FROM ENGLISH GOVERNMENT REGARDED AT WASHINGTON AS REFUSAL PRESIDENT American Request May be Submitted for Final Judgment to Corfei. ence of Britain's Colonies 3 Miles Remains Limit Wheat of Government Guaranty Price Considered as Dangerous; Want Concrete Plan for Relief Great Britain has Washington, virtually turned down the proposal recently made by the American government to extend the legal limit of searching ships at sea to 12 miles. Announcement to this effect was made at the state department Wednesday. The position of the British government was outlined in a note received at the state department, and was in response to a communication recently handed the British foreign office by Secretary of State Hughes In which he proposed the reciprocal right of seizure and search for 12 miles. Instead of the customary three miles. The refusal of the British to accede to the American request was softened by a promise to submit the proposal to the Imperial conference to be held in London in October and which will be attended by the premiers of all British colonies. In view of the attitude of London, however, submission of the proposal to the imperial conference Is looked upon in Washington as holding forth little hope that there will be any change ln the present ' three mile limit. The text of the British note was not made public. It was said at the state department, however, that this government does not regard the case as closed. Secretary Hughes was actuated in proposing the twelve mile limit be cause of liquor running. Dozens of British ships are now in the liqnor carrying trade, bringing their cargoes to within three miles of the American shore and discharging them to American boats which run the three mile limit.
