The lawyer for one of the women who have accused Herman Cain of sexually harassing them in the late 1990s said Thursday afternoon that she has been unable to coordinate a joint press conference with three other women who have made similar accusations.

Joel P. Bennett, who represents Karen Kraushaar, said that his client does not intend to talk to the news media or to authorize him to talk further, until — and unless — the other women agree to come forward together to present what she said would be “a body of evidence” of Mr. Cain’s alleged misdeeds.

“She will have no further comment until that time, and she and I will not be granting any interviews to the media before any such press conference,” Mr. Bennett told reporters during a brief news conference outside his Georgetown office here.

The announcement would appear to buy Mr. Cain some breathing space in what had been an 11-day string of news reports about allegations that he sexually harassed employees at the National Restaurant Association and one of its nonprofit offshoots when he was its chief executive. Since news of the accusations broke on Politico.com on Oct. 30, Mr. Cain has faced a relentless stream of reports about his encounters with the women, all of which he has strenuously denied.
