The Wall Street Journal received more than a dozen envelopes containing an unknown white powder, and New York City police and hazardous materials crews are investigating the matter, a spokesman said.

The mail was addressed to several New York-based executives at the newspaper published by News Corp.'s Dow Jones & Co. At least 10 of the envelopes are being held in the mailroom of the Journal's Lower Manhattan headquarters, while at least three others have been distributed throughout the building, the spokesman said.
