GERMAN ELECTION
Hindenburg’s Return Assured VIOLENT CAMPAIGN By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. (Rec. April 10, 5.5 p.m.) Berlin, April 10. The Presidential campaign has surpassed all records for violence, but Field-Marshal Hindenburg’s re-election at the second ballot to-morrow with Herr Adolf Hitler is assured. No one doubts that the ballot will give Field-Marshal Hindenburg an overwhelming majority. One forecast gives him nineteen million votes, and Herr Hitler twelve and a half millions. Although the result is a foregone conclusion, the size of Herr Hitler’s vote will profoundly affect the elections to the Prussian Diet a fortnight hence. Herr. Hitler hopes to secure a majority and thus dominate the principal German State. His success will involve the resignation of the German Cabinet, and he might, in the ensuing general election, win control of the Reichstag. Reliable opinion is that a heavy defeat of Herr Hitler on Sunday will be required to destroy this prospect.
