ISTANBUL, Dec. 23 (UP).-Diplomatic sources said today that the American ship Pan Crescent, flying the flag of Panama, left Constant empty yesterday, two months after it entered that Romanian port to pick up Jewish illegal immigrants to Palestine. A sister ship, the Pan York, also empty, was expected to leave today.

Local sources believed the trips were canceled because the United Nations decision to partition Palestine will soon open the door to increased legal immigration.
