GERMAN POLITICS ARE MORE MUDDLED Election PreCludeS Formation Of
 Thl@-Party Coalition SITUATION IS CONFUSED
Alternative Suggested Is For Four. Party Coalition, Taing fin Social ists, Clericals, Democrats and stresemnnn Peoples Party.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Berlin, Dec. 3.-The outcome of yesterdays general elections leaves the parliamentary situation wholly unclarified, as the new party line- up in the reichstag precludes the formation of three-party coalition composed of the socialists. the clericals and the democrats, in the opinion of political leaders.
 Possible Alternative.
 The alternative suggested by the increased number of deputies due to the unexpectedly heavy vote Is that of a four-party coalition, talk ing in the socialists, the clericals, the democrats, and the Stresemann peoples party. The component units of this combination would rep resent political elements of hostile contrasts, however, and 1t could only maintain a parliamentary exist ence, 1t is pointed out, If the parties composing 1t subscribed to a po- litical truce.
 To this extent the leaders of the liberal parties are inclined to view yesterdays election as dead heat" and anything but a hopeful advance in the direction of forming a government which would rest on Q broad center base and command a majority of sufficient size to give 1t an era of unhampered parliamen- tary action. Afternoon Figures.
 By 2:45 o'clock this afternoon the government election commission had received additional returns which gave the social democrats, the cen- trists, the communists and the Ger man democrats each one more seat, s and the farmers party four more veats. Making the farmers total 8. The revised returns took two seats tway from the, Geramn nationalists, hying them h total of 1o2.' The to- tns of the other parties remained drtually the same.
