DANISH ELECTION
SMALL GAIN BY NAZIS POSITION OF THE PARTIES NO GREAT ALTERATION COPENHAGEN, April 4 The general election in Denmark has not greatly changed the position of the parties.

The Danish party polled 82.523 votes. The Social Democrats won four seats and the Liberals won two, and the Communists one. The Agrarians and the Retsforbundet party lost one each. The position of parties now is: Social Democrats 64, Radicals 14, Conservatives 26, Liberals 30, Agrarians four. Retsforbundet three, Communists and Nazis three, German party one. The elected Nazis include Dr. Fritz Clausen, leader of North Schleswig Nazis.
