PARIS, April 22~The Figaro asserts
that the police at Presburg. Hungary, are
hot satisfied that Baron de Ilrsch died

great many menacing letters from anti
Semitic sources after his arrival at his
Austrian estates None Of the above re-
ports, however, are confirmed. All OF the
advices received from Vienna concur IN
the statement that Baron de Hirsch died
from syncope at 3 o'clock yesterday morn

landowner, ramed Ehreuteid Some OF
his feIlow-guests, hearing his groans. en-
tered his room, but when they reached
