STEVEN HOFFENBERG, who wants to buy The New York Post, is the latest in a long line of successful businessmen to be seduced by the idea of becoming a newspaper publisher. Right away, he proved that it's not as easy as it looks. There were gasps all around when he used his first few interviews to declare an end to negative news stories.

The Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil suit yesterday accusing the New York-based Towers Financial Corporation and its chairman, Steven Hoffenberg, of operating a fraud that used false financial statements to sell more than $400 million in securities. The accusation appears to raise serious doubts about Mr. Hoffenberg's bid to purchase The New York Post, calling into question whether he will be considered a viable buyer of the nation's oldest daily newspaper, although he said yesterday that he planned to proceed.

Steven Hoffenberg said yesterday that he signed a contract over the weekend to buy The New York Post and that the Securities and Exchange Commission suit against him would not stop him from becoming The Post's new owner. Although the S.E.C. sought a freeze of Mr. Hoffenberg's personal and business assets, the Federal judge hearing that case yesterday refused to order the freeze immediately and scheduled a hearing for Feb. 24. Mr. Hoffenberg could complete his purchase of the newspaper before the court considers the freeze request.
