~ the Assoca ted Press.
PARIS, October 1.-THE Jugoslav
4egation today reaff1rmed the status
|'f King Alexander as the ruler of
Jugoslavia. in succession to the late
king Peter. and made formal denial
rf reports that he had abdicated or
would renounce the throne. The Off
ial statement says the king docs
not think of abdicating in favor Of
his brother George"
No explanation was offered for the
Furious sequence of facts connected
with King Alexander's long delay in
proceeding to Belgrade to take the
# the death of King Peter, and was
Expected, after recovering. from an
illness. TO proceed to Belgrade for
roronation.
Premier Pachitch arrived here from
Belgrade within the last few days,
with the apparent purpose of deter
mining the status of the crown. There
nave been several conferences. but
he only authoritative information
hus far given is the legations state
nent today.
Alexander appears to have been
really ill in Paris when his father
lied. and bulletins were issued reg
ilarly by his physicians who. after
fortnight, announced that he was
well enough to travel TO Belgrade.
'oenizancc of the provision of the
constitution that the coronation
hould take place within ten days
bitter the death of the king. and in
consideration of AleXander's illness,
lecided to send Il commission to Paris

WAS abandoned.
Various dates were fixed for the

hanged. Then Alexander. two days
.fter the day arranged for him to
leave Paris a fortnight ago: ex..
rould not leave. He recovered. and
has been automobiling daily. He
unched with President Millerand at
he Elysee Palace last week. and to
observers appeared in good health
md spirits.
Many conflicting reports as to the
real cause of Alexander's long stay
Pin Paris have been current. One of
these is to the effect that he is de-
Voted to a young French woman who
would not be acceptable as queen of

has been abandoned, and that political
TO hesitate as to what his course
should be.
A serious situation has arisen in
Serbia over the question of the sue
cession to the throne in the event
of Alexander's death. according to
Information in well informed quar-
Iters here. 1t is this that is causing
AleXander's delay in assuming his
kingiy Office. and keeping him in
Paris. 1t is understood that Alex
ander insists upon his right to name
his successor. while a strong group.
largely militaristic. has rallied
around Prince George.
| A graver problem is said to underlie
the situation. Radical supporters of
Prince George are even advancing his
Irignt to immediate accession to the
throne. as the elder heir. and threaten
serious consequences should Alex
lander return.
Another cause of King Alexander's
delay in Paris is reported to be the
discovery of many communist plots
ito assassinate him should he attempt
Ito return. with the intention later of
Establishing a republic.
