Reasons That May Impel Bismarck to De-

LONDON, March 13.-Prince Bismarck has
not yet given q reply to the invitation to
become candidate for the Reichstag from
Geestemunde. Hanover. 1t is stated that
the Princes chief reason for hesitation is
not political, but because he does not care

He would not take the seat without full
filling its obligations. and that would make
1t necessary for him TO stay away from

pleasure to SIT in the Reichstag and ex-
press those opinions which he felt it his
duty as citizen not to conceal. lr ap-
pears, therefore. that the question of
whether the Prince will take a seat in the
