sy Tn. Associated Press.

Berlin, May 5.-A provisional list Of the deputies so far chosen to the Reichstag in yesterdays German elec- ton, based on returns received up to three o'clock this afternoon, gives the expected coalition of moderates-so- cialists, clericals, democrats and peo- ples party members-229 seats, or ten more than the total of all the seats filled by the numerous other parties combined.
 The provisional list. as thus tabu- lated, is as follows:
 Socialists 99; Communists 59; Democrats 25: Centen party 61; Bav- arian peoples party 15: German peo- ples party A; German national party ss; Extreme national party 2S; Han overians 5; others 19. Total AS.
 Victory For Dawes Report.
 Thus the people have apparently placed the seal of approval on the Dawes reparation report, as the leaders of the moderates. including Foreign Minister Stresemann, based their campaign on the adoption and execution of the report as sure cure for the country's ailments.
 While the counting of the ballots IS necessarily slow, due to the large number of party tickets in the field, indications are that the coalition will have sufficient seats in the Reichstag to force through the enabling legisla- ton required by the Dawes report with little help from the Independent factions.
 The nationalists and communists made some gains. but the vote boiled by General Ludendorff's ultra-monar- chists did not come up to expectations and the result indicates decisive fail- urs of the reactionary and radical campaigns.
 The balloting was heavy and it is probable that at least fifteen new deputies will be added to the Reich stag, increasing the membership to ATS. About 75 per cent of the elect crate voted throughout the Reich.
 Notablcs Elected
 Among the notables elected are General Ludendorf. head of the ex- trsme nationalists; Chancellor Marx. former Chancellor Wirth. the young prince von Bismark, grandson of the iron chancellor: oskar Hergt; Ad- miral von Tirpitz, the minister Of the navy during the world war. and otto weis.
 Available results are sufficient to show roughly how the new reichstag will be constituted. The socialists lost between 50 and 50 seats, chiefly to the communists, but are still the strong est party in the house with about 1i0 deputies as compared with 172 before the election.
 The German nationalists will stand next in strength with about 20 depn- ties, or a gain of from % 10 26. The communists will have 45 or 50 depn- ties. an increase of from 90 to 36. and the exertme nationalists will probably have 20 seats as against three in the last reichstag.
 There is every indication that the German nationalists will be the de- eiding factor in the new government.

 The vote in this Schleswig H Holst ein district for the ex-ambassador. Nir- tuaily was the same as in 1920, the German nationaiists there showed rain st the expense of the peoples party, while the Ultra nationalists gained to the loss of the socialists.
