HOLLWEG OUT


LONDON, May 9.-Presence In
Berlin today of the Bavarian pre-
mier. Count Hertling. has revived
rumors in Germany that he is to
succeed Won Bethmann-Hollweg as
imperial chancellor, according to
dispatches received via Holland.
From Zurich IL was report
ed that Hollweg had already
rendered his resignation, but
there was no confirmation Of
such rumor.
Count Hertling Is ostensibly In
Berlin to preside at the meeting
of the foreign affairs committee
of the federal council.
All Holland dispatches today
emphasized the existence of a Sc
rious internal political crisis in
Germany. For weeks 1t has been
apparent that sentiment against
Hollweg among his political OPP
ponents was slowly crystallizing.
Today German Newspapers in
dicated a fresh attack on Hollweg
likely to afford ground for concert
of action, in dissatisfaction over
repeated postponement of the
much advertised
speech outlining Germany's war
inns.
