(.AUSTRALIAN-SEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received 17th April, 3 p.m.) ' LONDON, 16th April. The Berlin correspondent of the "Daily Express" says that Yon Hindenburg has been living a hermit's life in his palatial residence in the Ludwigstrasse, Hanover, which is. a mystery house, as a curtain is never drawn and the iron gates are never opened. There are no signs of life about the house or garden, i'or months the townsfolk have toed to see the Field-Marshal, but have always failed. Only the persuasions of his Daughter, added to those of Admiral lirpitz, made Yon Hindenbur X a.r Leo to nominate for the Presidency ft i s now announced that he will not appear at public meetings, though he hai had invitations to speak at cities in • all '?• j "? Germany. In all cases Yon Hmdenburg has replied declining on the ground that his ideas are already known all over .the country. He will however hold a reception at Hanover on Sunday, when he will explain his political programme to representatives of the newspapers and to German finan-

tr, v W \° i f teles™phed a warning to \ O n Hmdenburg that if he does not withdraw from the Presidential contest the flow of American capital to Germany will be interrupted.
