BERLIN, August 15.-A possibility
that Gen. Kurt Won Schleicher, the
affable soldier -junker who is minister
of defense and the recognized power in
the present cabinet. might be Ger
many's new chancellor appeared to-
day.
With the country quiet over the week
end. following the collapse of the bid
OF Adolf Hitler, Nazi leader. for the
chancellorship Saturday, party news
papers began putting out feelers today
for a coalition of the Hitlerites and the
Centrists, with Gen. Won Schleicher at
its head, as a neutral.
The slate also included DR.. Franz
Bracht. now virtual dictator of the
State of Prussia and mayor of Essen,
as premier of Prussia.
Two-t One Basis.
The NaZis and CentristS would be
represented in the cabinet, according
to the press suggestions, on the basis
of two to one.
Meanwhile. the cabinet went ahead
with its plans for changing the con-
stitution by providing for Senate to
act as a check on the Reichstag and
by reforming the election laws.
Hitler left Berlin shortly after his
brief interview with the President Sat-
urday and was remaining aloof from
politics today.

Will Not Defy Reichstag.
There were indications Chancellor Won
Papen had changed his mind about go
ing before the Reichstag and defying 1t
to unseat him. Political commentators
pointed out that to do so would chal-

Hitler suddenly Cancelled conference
of his NaZi parliamentarians which had
been summoned to meet tomorrow. He
gave no reason, but it was assumed he
wished to consult first with his princi-
pal advisers, such as the chiefs of the
storm troops and others of his political
bureaus.
The newspaper Der Moptag said all
the storm troopers throughout the coun-
try have been given an eight-day fur

dication the Nazi leaders wished first
TO clarity the position in which the
party stood as result of Saturdays
conference.
Hitler Demand Revealed.
A government spokesman disclosed
that when Hitler presented himself be-
fore President Won Hindenburg on Sat
urday he told the President that ne
demanded a position similar to that at
tanned by Mussolini after the Fascist
march on Rome.
Chancellor Won Papen, the spokesman
said, feels that he did everything he
could to give the NaZis an adequate
share in the government, and that Sat
urday's failure to agree must be ascribed
solely to them.
The cabinet set at rest a rumor that
the Reichstag might not be summoned
by announcing that it will be called
within the time provided by the con-
stitution and not later than August 81.
In today's edition of the newspaper
Angriff there was a bitter editorial by
Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda
chief and reputed to be one OF the
most powerful figures in the Nazi move

against the government and warned
that the ultimate triumph OF the party
is inevitable.
