Prussian Coalition
Cabinet Indicated

Berlin, Feb. 21--Complete verified
returns from % election districts
still were lacking at six o'clock this
evening. Based on the returns at
hand however. the belief prevails
that the political complexion of the
first diet of the Prussia's free state
will be such as to insure a coalition
cabinet comprising the same party
representation that is now retiring
from office. The Majority Socialists,
the National Peoples party and the
Communists seem to have been the
only gamers by Sundays balloting.
The early analysis of the vote
shows that the Majority Socialists.
the Independent Socialists and the
Communists lost 1900 votes in
Greater Berlin The Independent
Socialists, who suffered severe
blow Sunday. lost to the Majority
Socialists and the Communists.
Captain Franz Won Papen, the
former German military attache at
Washington, has been elected to the
Prussian diet on the Clerical party
ticket. He will represent the West
phalian district.
