the matter Move Not Known What action if any will be en by all three or any one of the commissioners after the election is not known It is apparent that no effort will be made by them to pre- vent the election by injunction and it can only be assumed that any tion that will be taken because of the alleged invalidity of the method of nomination and election of their opponents would come after the election is over and depending upon the results of the balloting Mr Nash would not say what he intended to do about the matter ter Tuesday's election The body was found at 8 o'clock this morning by

beat His ast report to headquarters was at and after that nothing was heard of him Blame Gangsters Late today the police had not un- covered a definite motive for the slaying but it was presumed that enemies possibly members of a gang had decided to put him out of the way Riphon captured a suspected bank robber in a speakeasy last December The suspect and two companions arrested later were sent to prison The presence of little blood at the spot where the body was found gave rise to the belief that policeman had been killed in the slayers car tracks showed that a car had been stopped near where the body lay and had been turned back and driven into Hope BY GLENN BABB Associated Press Staff dent Tokyo May Tsuyoshi Inukai Japan's old grey was dead today the second Japanese premier to die by an
