HUGENBERG SEEKS
100000 VOTES
Nationalist Victory Against
Young Plan in Germany
Tomorrow in Doubt.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, December 21.-Alfred HUI
senberg and his followers in the Ma
tionaliSt party, who at great expense Of
effort mustered little over 1000 900
votes on october 80, for the anti Young
plan plebiscite. will tomorrow face the
tremendous task of perSuading nearly
Fl 900 900 German electors to vote in
favor of the anti-Young plan law.
The law was decisively defeated in
the Reichstag recently, but as IL had
been approved by mtre than q tenth Of
the electorate at the time of the plebi-
scite . countrywide referendum had to
be held.
There has been very little to indicate
that the German people are anxious to
approve measure that would punish
as traitors the officials of the govern
ment who had had anything to do with
approving the Young play, from Presi-
dent Won Hindenburg down,
Even the greatest optimists in the
Hugenberg group do not expect a VIC
tory, and the chief interest of observers
in tomorrow's referendum is In seeing
whether the split within the Nationalist
ranks will prevent Hugenberg from rail-
lying even 100000 votes at the polls.
To make the referendum d law nearly
II ,000,0 900 votes are necessary.
A special polling booth has been in
stalled In o restaurant close to the
Reichstag Building to enable the Ma
tionalist members to vote early. Many
OF them planned to register Immediately
after the stroke of midnight.
