Berlin April 2S-The "B;jrsen Zeitung' pub
lished Friday rumors of Cabinet crisis and
the possible resignation of Chancellor Prince Won
Hohenlohe II said that the Chancellor ob-
tected to the Anti-Socalist bill in It's present
form and threatened t. retire in case II should
be passed unamended. Last evening the Reich
sanzeiger denied the truth OF this story
The "B0rsen Zo.tung' published. however, on,y
what has been common report in political cir
cles since Wednesday. The original difficulty in
the Cabinet is supposed to be the Chancclior's
differences with Herr Won KUller regarding the
conflict between the Prussian Government and
the Berlin City Council. The Chancellor has
watched with growing disapproval the nigh and
mighty way in which Won K0,ler has tried 10
suppress the Councils position against the Anti
Socialist bill, and is understood to have opposed
the order forbldding the Councillors to lay ,hc
petition before the Re.chstag As Prussian Min
lister Of the Interior Won KILLER has managed
the Government side in the conflict. s. far, he
has succeeded on,y In driving the Council to an
attitude OF open defiance and has got himself
into such tight corner that II will require the
united efforts Of all the Ministers 10 eXtricatc
him The Chancellor's opposition to Won KILLERS
policy commands the sympathy Of the great
majority of people throughout Germany
