HUN ELECTION
Early Returns Show Majority
Socialists Polling Big Vote;
the German Democrats
Vote a Surprise.

London Jan. 20-"The course of
the elections throughout the German
state" says German government
wireless dispatch received here to-
night, has clearly proved that the
development of republican form of
government interests the whole Ger
man nation. Participation in the
elections was strong everywhere and
in the sharpest contradiction to the
indifference which vast classes, es-
pecially the buurgeosie, have shown
on the occasion of former elections.
Especially remarkable was the
strong percentage Of women among
the masses of voters and the perse-
verance of both male and female
voters to record their votes, despite
adverse weather conditions.
Only from the Rhineland, the
mining district Of Hamborn, Cassel
and few small places have there
been disturbances due to the vio-
lence of Spartacan bands Every
where else the day has been quiet
both in the province and in the
large towns.
The party administration of the
independence socialists has now ap-
pealed to the. workers to suspend
their protest strike and return to

former vice chancellor; Adolph
Groeber and Herr Kehl were elect

plete to permit Of any opinion as TO
the significance of the election, but
the old national liberal party vir-
tually has disappeared in Baden and
Wurttemburg.
Liberal Party Ended.
In Freiburg, Baden, the majority
socialists got 1927 votes; centrists,
