(ContlnueQ rom flTbL fdBeJ nied that he represented reaction or | that his candidacy was inimical to the republic.
 Only Public Utteranccs His only other public utterance of significance was final appeal. broadcast by radio, last Friday night On that occasion the griz- zled war veteran, who has spent his life in the military service of the fatherland, made this statement:
 q affirm before the whole world that 1t has always been my holiest endeavor to prevent new horrors Of war and to help to the utmost the victims of past wars. This aim can best be attained by unity, and to serve our people as leader in this sense will be my holiest task"
 When questioned by the Associat- ed Press during the progress of the campaign as to his attitude on the Dawes reparation plan, the field marshal stated that only the future could show whether the scheme was capable of fulfillment.
 Germany" he asserted, twill not be able to fulfill the conditions un- less the foreign powers participating in the pact evince political and eco homie loyalty"
 The women's votes and the heavy turnout of former stay-at-homes are believed to have been responsible for his victory over such a seasoned po- litical campaigner as Dr. Marx. The latter, however failed to the democratic party, which was but an unwilling partner in the so-called Weimar coalition. Dr. Marks sup porters also freely admit that anti Catholic feeling initiated strongly against their candidates prospect.
 Reconyenes Next Tuesday
 The reichstag will reconvene next Tuesday, and Won Hindenburg, if he follows established custom, will have the republican oath administered to him some time during the week by the socialist roichstag president, Paul Loebe, in the presence of a parliament in which he probably has more opponents than supporters, as the centrists, democrats, social ists and communists command PIT seats against only 2l6 for the right ists.
 Early Voting %
 Early voting was the rule in Der lin and the crush at many of the polling places was so great that vio- lent encounters at times broke out, and the police were busily occupied in separating the fighters,
 More serious trouble occurred at Karlsruhe, where two persons were killed and 8 number wounded in c clash between republicans and na. tionalists.
 Disturbances also took place al Ratibor, in Slesia, when an erron. eous announcement was published te the effect that Dr. Marx was leading Non Hindenburg by nearly 10000 votes. The nationalists. reused b! ' this, gathered and began marching $ through the streets. Dispersed b! the police. they obtained reinforce S ments and besieged the police sta tions in various towns in the area n Scores of arrests were made. l Analysis of Election
 Analyses of the election return made by the adherents of Dr. Mar: have left these anti-nationalist ele ments far from discouraged, even ii the face of their decisive defeat il l, yesterdays test. They point out tha |; the total ballots cast by the opposi c ton to Hindenburg, the supporter of pr. Marx and Herr Thaelmani t. were more than half of the tota vote, of 61.7 per cent.
 The inauguration Of Hindenbur will be impossible uptil the officia :! counts Of the ballots is verified. Y. is estimated that this cannot be ac 0. complished before May 10, at th earliest.
 As the field marshal throughor his campaign insisted upon tn in cleansing of public life." ther seems likely 10 be a consderabl conflict over public office. .h It is pointed out that many of h

 Many Surprises
 - Examination Of the official ele
 ton returns shows a number of sIl
 prises, notably defections among il socialists in ssxony and the solidi = with which Bavaria rallied behii e9' Hindenburg. Former Crown Prin Rupprecht's endorsement of the fie
 marshal and the strong elements oU Bavaria opposed to socialism are !
 lieved to account for Bavaria's af i'e ure to give better support to I
 Marx.
 On the other hand Dr. Marx (
 surprisingly well in the Rhinelar tty despite the fact that all the oppo lde ton attacks during the closing ds 7iil of the campaign were ccntcred ttS his Ruhr- -Rhineland policy.
