"The death is pprtninly mysterious." said a high police official, "and the theory of suicide hns been definitely abandoned. Thcreforo French Justice re quires the fullest Investigation In order to satisfy public opinion. "Tho body will be embalmed imme diately after tho autopsy. If tho verdict Is favorable, as we hope, a permit for its shipment to America will be given immediately."

Republicans Predict 30,000 Majority The Republicans, who have conducted -nn aggressive and well -organized cam paign, predict that they will carry the Btate by at least 30.000. It is sixteen years since they have rolled up a plurality even approaching that figure, and ordinarily they have been content with one-half of it. Their greatest plurality was in 1800. when thev car ried the state by 48,000. Tho Demo crats have quoted no figures, but claim victory ''by a small majority." Tho Democrnt state organization has not waged so aggressive a cam paign as the Republicans, and in organization has pleaded lack of funds, but like tho Republicans, it hnd had the speaking services of soma of the ablest members of the national organization. Among them have' been Franklin D. Roosevelt, candidate for Vice President; Secretary of the Navy Daniels, former Secretnry of the Treas ury William G. McAdoo, and Homer S. ' Cummings, of Connecticut.
