Apparently he plans to remain here indefinitely. His son, who accompanied him part of the way here and returnsd to Paris, has already forwarded him a draft for $25,000. Mrs. In- sull, also in Paris, is éxpected to join her husband here shortly. SEEK EXTRADITION ATHENS, Oct. 10.—Samuel In- sull, former Chicago power mag- nate, has been detained by the Greek authorities in the request of the American Government. The question of extradition to the Unit- ed States is pending. Detention occurred when he was calmly sipping coffee on the ter- race of the Grand Bretagne Hotel, basking in the sunshine: Police Knew Him It is understood the American Minister asked the Greek Govern- ment to detain him pending re- ceipt of a formal request for ex-| tradition from Washington. The police of Athens knew Insull was here but felt powerless to act until requested to do so by the Ameri- cans. Treaty Negotiated The extradition treaty between Greece and the United States was negotiated recently, both countries ratifying it but formal documents of ratification have not been ex- changed as is customary. This is interpreted here as leaving it up to Greece as.to whether the treaty is now in force.
