PREMIER TO CONSIDER,

Paris, Oct. 10...

As the result of an appeal by the strong body of foreign journalists in Paris represented by the Anglo- American Press Association, the de parture of Mr. Horace Horan, tho head of the Hearst news agency im- plicated in the publication of an official State document without au- thority, has been Indefinitely post-

poned,

It will be recalled that Mr. Horan admitted receiving the document from Mr. Hearst and cabling it to the New York American. He was given the option of facing a charge, or of leaving the country by to- morrow, and chose the latter

course,

The new development, however, alters the whole position, and Mr. Horan will not leave until a final decision is reached.

It is announced that M. Policare, the Premier, and M. Briand, the Foreign Secretary, will personally consider all the facts as marshalled by the Anglo-American Press A580. clation, the fate of the American journalist to depend upon their de liberations.-Reuter.
