NEW YORK, January 25.-There have
been rumors in newspaper circles in New
York for several days which, though as yet
uncon6rmed, bear some semblance OF truth.
Il is reported that the proprietors of the
World newspaper, having been offered a
proper price, have concluded to sell that
journal to John Mclean, of the Cincinnati
Enquirer. 1t has been an open secret in New
York for many months that Mr.. Mclean de-
sired 10 purchase this property. Hitherto,
however, the price could not be agreed upon,
the figures asked by the World proprietors
being considered above the proper price. The
business of the last year having, it is said,
proved unsatisfactory to the World pro-
prietors, and the editor-in chief desiring to
make chang, the sale is now said 10 have
been agreed upon. The price is said TO be
1926, 900, and George Alfred Townsend, it is
said, will take editorial supervision.
