The Minister in Sweden (Morris) to the Secretary of State
[Received May 22, 9.15 a.m.]
2134. Referring to the Legation’s No. 2087, May 15, 5 p.m.,3 Finnish Chargé d’Affaires informed me this morning that he had received word from his government that Finland had again asked Germany for Emery’s4 release and he hoped that he could soon inform me that same could be accomplished. He also informed me that Svinhufvud had been chosen chairman of an executive council and it is expected that Svinhufvud would make a recommendation to parliament regarding some prince to be placed upon the throne. The current opinion in Stockholm is that if this is done it will be some German prince.
