Won HERTLINC
NOT FAv0R|TE
WITH REICHSTAC
Appointment AS Chancellor
Is Decidedly I'm
popular.

Copenhagen, Oct. 31-Count George
Won Eertling, appointed to succeed
DR.. Michaelis as German imperial
chancellor. was for long years the.
leader of the Catholic center in the
reichstag He was one Of the few
first grade personalities among the
representatives.
The new chancellor's name has been
anathema to the Pan-Germans of the
Count Won Reventlow type because of
the belief that he is not their man as
far as the annexation program is con-
cerned.
It may be that he will consult
reichstag leaders before accepting the
appointment, and If this is SO much
may depend on, his attitude concern
ing Prussian franchise reform, re-
garding which he has been silent on
the ground that 1t is Prussia's own
affair.
The Berlin newspapers agree in
saying that Count Won Hertling was
rendered only the post of imperial
chancellor and not that OF Prussiar
premier. According to a well defin-
ed report it is purposed to retain DR.
Mtchaeus in the latter post to super.
wise the fate of the Prussian fran
chise reform measures and to dtmin
tsh, as far as possible, the loss o.
prestige caused him by his short ten
ure Of office in the chancellorship.
| A survey of the German pres
shows Count Won Hertling's candidac.
is regarded on all sides, except by hi
own center party. as decidedly ques
donable If not subject for gray
concern.
