 Paris, July 22.-Politics were the predominating factor today in connec- for the murder of Gaston Calmette. editor of the Figaro.
 The French government was under stood to be greatly concerned in re- gard to the diplomatic documents mentioned at yesterdays hearing as having been in the possession of the assassinated editor and later handed over to President Poincare, who passed them on to the foreign of- flee.
 Interchange of Telcgrams.
 Senator Bienvenu Martin, acting minister of foreign affairs, was up most of the night, and an active in- terchange of telegrams took place be- tween him and Premier Rene Viviani, now in Russia with the president.
 Joseph Caillaux, the prisoners hus- band, and Ferdinand Labori, her counsel, made vehement demand that the documents should be pro- duced in court. 1t Is understood that the premier, anticipating such de- mand, left instructions with his sub- stitute at the foreign office as to what course should be pursued with the . papers, which are in the foreign of- ! flee archives.

 Attacks M. Caillaux.
 Charles Chenu, the lawyer repre- senting the interests of the Figaro, and those of Calmette's heirs, said sarcastically: 'I regard the incident as only an enjoyable diversion. It has pleased M.
