Dr.. AIbert'S Efforts Fail Up to
Noon, Berlin Report Today
Declares
NEW RE N 7 M EN- 7
Caused by President Ebert'S
Invitation to Albert to Act
as Chancellor
NEW RESEN T M EN- T

BERLIN, Nov. &c (By The Asso-
ciated Press) The efforts of DIR.
Heinrich L. Albert, former minister
of the treasury, to form new Ger
man cabinet had borne no visible
fruit up to noon today and in no
quarter was 1t believed that If a
ministry takes office under DR.. Al
bert's chancellorship it will do more
than mark the transition stage to
dissolution of the national parila-
ment.
President Ebert's invitation to DR..
Albert to form a new cabinet has
caused considerable resentment in
Nationalist quarters, because the
president did not invite the Nation
alsts to submit a candidate for -he
chancellorship, for which post they
had the Nationalist leader, DIR.
Hergt, in view.
The invitation waJ extended Dr.
Albert Sunday after the members OF
the deposed Stresemann ministry
and the various parliamentary lead
ers had informed the president that
the present situation in the Reich-
stag would prevent the installation
of a coalition government which
would be assured a working major
Ity in the legislative body The
president recalled Dr. Albert and pre-
vailed on him to reconsider the dec
lination to assume the chancellor
ship which he had given after a
consultation with the executive last
Friday.
1t was hardly expected from the
first, however, that Dr.. Albert would
be able to get together a ministry
which would stand the test OF a
Reichstag vote, the idea apparently
being tn t it would serve as means
of carrying on g ternmental AFFAIRS
until dissolution of the Reichstag,
expected in the near future, should
come.
