PREMIER MAY NOT
 COME TO AMERICA
Irish Trouble Likely to Keep.
 Lloyd George at Home

London, Oct. 27-Premier Lloyd George probably will have to abandon his visit to Washington, or at least postpone it until the closing sessiins of the conference there because of the critical situation in the negotiations with Sim Fen Ireland, was asserted by several we'll informed newspapers here today. The premier had made no political and personal friends were quoted as communicating the report to .lquirers as if publicity was desired.
 Everywhere it was admitted today that the Irish negotiations had made little progress and, although hope had not been relinquished there was a ten dency to regard the outlook as being less favorable than it was day or TWO ago. Political writers remark ed that if the negotiations broke down, the premier's trip to America would be obviously impossible, while, if a break in the conference was avoided, it'was difficult to see how settlement could be reached for a considerable time. The accumulation of other pressing business was also urged in some quarters as contributing to the hnprobability that the premier would be able to carry out his desire to go to the Washington conference.
 Various reports concerning the Irish negotiations were current here today, but they carried little weight, owing to, the secrecy observed by both sides. The Daily Graphic printed a rumor that the negotiations had been sus- [ Dended, and that an important com-
 nunication was expected from Dublin. Elsewhere it was stated attempts to find desired formula by which the conference could be continued had failed, and that the Irish delegates were holding out for concessions that would counterbalance any lessening of their demand for independence.
 It was said the Daily Eireann repre- sEentatives were insistently urging the Fciaims of the Catholic populations of sstEe counties of Tyrone and Fermanagh for inclusion in southern Ireland,it be- ing added that the Irish delegates were raintaining stiff attitude in this par t.cular. Another report declared the question of Irish unity was the main stumbling block.
