Publisher Resigns Active Charge
of Newspaper Property, and
Plans Are Not Public.
NOT WITH HEARST PAPER

Fred l.. Purdy last night severed his con-
nection with the Indianapolis Sun as editor
and publisher. His resignation was ten
dered to the directors of the company a
year ago, but at that time the stockholders
persuaded him to remain identified with the
paper temporarily. Since then they have
attempted TO induce Mr.. Purdy TO recon-
slider his action and remain with the Sun
as its publisher, but he declined. The res
ignation was accepted at meeting of the
directors held yesterday.
Mr.. Purdy is prominent among Western
newspaper men, having been identified with
the Sun for many years. He said last night
that he would remain in the newspaper
business in Indianapolis, but could not at
this time make public his plans for the fu-
ture.
Regarding his successor the Sun, Mr..
Purdy said he knew nothing and was not
familiar with the plans of the directors.
He declared that the report that the Sun
is to change owners is without foundation,
and denied emphatically that he was to be
connected in any way with the proposed
new Indianapolis Hearst paper. Mr.. Purdy
will not dispose of his stock holdings il the
Sun property.
