London, Jan. 13. The Naval Conference session was again postponed to-day until 8 pm, on Wednesday to permit the Japanese delegation to communicate with Tokyo "for information."-United Press. SURPRISE DEVELOPMENT

London, Jan. 19.

There was a surprise development early this evening when after a two-hour conference between the British and Japanese naval delegates it was announced that to-morrow's meeting of the naval conference would again be postponed while the Japanese seek further instructions from Tokyo,

At this time the fate of the Naval Conference and the question of Japan's continued participation were still undecided. Everything depended upon whether the chairman at to- morrow's meeting could pilot the delegates past the rocks of Japanese demand for parity, as a vote on this point would inevitably terminate the conference forthwith:
