GERMAN PRESIDENCY.
HINDENBURG A HERMIT. AVOIDING”PUBLICITY. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT LONDON, April 16. The Berlin correspondent of the Daily Express says Marshal von Hindenburg lias been living a hermit’s life in his palatial residence at Edudwigstrasse, Hanover, which is- a mystery house, as the curtains are never drawn and the iron gates are never- opened. There have been no signs of life in the house or garden for months. The townsfolk have tried to see the fieldmarshal, but always failed. O'nly the persuasion of liis daughter, added' to that of Admiral von Tirpitz, made Hindenburg agree to stand for the Presidency. It is now announced that he will not appear at public meetings. Invitations to speak come from cities in all parts of Germany, hut Hindenburg replied declining on the ground that he was already known throughout the country. He will, however, hold a reception at Hanover on Sunday, when he will explain his political programme to representatives of the newspapers. German financiers in New York have telegraphed warning Hindenihurg that if he does not withdraw from the Presidency campaign the flow of\ American capital to Germany will be interrupted.
