An interim govt. in Honduras warned ousted Pres. Manuel Zelaya to stay away but indicated it could be more conciliatory in talks with the OAS over the crisis.

Roberto Micheletti, head of a caretaker leadership set up after an army coup, said he welcomed the chance to talk with Organization of American States Secretary-General Jose Miguel Insulza, who was expected to arrive in Honduras early on Friday with an ultimatum to reinstate Zelaya or be suspended from the regional body.
