VICTORIOUS
IN GERMANY
; Field Marshal Elected Presi
f dent of Republic By Less
I Than Million Votes Over Ex-
Chancellor Marx Election
a Stormy One German
Bonds Drop., ,
BERLIN, April 27 (By Associated
Press.) Field Marshal Von Hlnden
burg's "front porch"1 campaign, eon
ducted from his home in Hanover has
been successful and next woek he will
bo inducted into office as tho firt
popularly elected president of tsror
inany. The first president, the late Fried
( rich Ebert,.fis named by the nation
al assembly immediately after 'the
revolution, which established tho re
public, but Von Hindenburg was cho
sen by direct vote of the people.
Running as tho -choice of tho nationalist-conservative
parties, consist
ing of the united right, ho received
14.C39.399 votes or 48.3 per cent of
the total valid ballots cast in yester
day's polling. Ho obtained a plural
ity of 886,759 over his principal oppo
nent, formor Chancellor Dr. Wllholm
Mncx, candidate of the republican
bloc, who received 13,762,040 votes.
ICrnst Thaelmnnn, tho communist,
trailed with 1,931,691.
llilco Was Close
The race-was' closo from the start,
the two chief candidates running neck
and neck nlmost . until the official
count. Dr.' Murx, backed by tho cen
trists, democrats and socialists, eon
ducted a whirlwind campaign on the
American plan, delivering several
scheduled addresses daily, as well as
speaking from the rear platform of
his train when occasion offered. Von
Hindcnburg took little active personal
-part In the -tight and (lid not oven
vote himself, but his supporters wore
busy everywhere waging a strenuous
campaign. Ills most important speech
was dollvered before a great gather
ing of nationalists at Hanover, when
ho denied that he represented reac
tion or that his candidacy was inim
ical to tho republic.
His only other public utterance of
significance1 was a flnul appeal,
broadcast by radio last Friday night,
in which he said:
"I affirm before the whole
world that it has always boon
made my - holiest emfeavor to
prevent new horrous of war and
to help to tho -utmost the victims
of past wars.
"To serve our peoplo as leader
will bo my holiest task."
The women's votes and tho heavy
turn out of stay-at-homes, aro' believ
ed to havo been responsible for his
victory over such a seasoned political
campaigner as Dr. Marx. The latter,
howevor, failed to arouse much en
thusiasm in the ranks of the so-called
Weimar coalition. Dr. Marx's sup
porters nlso frceiy admit that the
anti-Catholic feeling militated strong
ly against their candidate's prospects.
The reichstag will reeonveno next
Tuesday and Von Hindenburg, If he
follows established custom, will have
tho republican oath administered to
him some time during tho week by
the socialist reichstag president, Paul
Loeb, in tho presence of a parliament
in which he probably has more oppo
nents than supprters, as tho centrists,
democrats, socialists and communists
command 277 seats against only 210
for tho rightists.
- Rioting 111 Berlin
In the voting In Berlin. violent
encountors broke out at times and
. the police were busily occupied separ
ating fighters.
More serious trouble occurred at
Karlsruhe were two persons I were
killed and a number injured in a
clash between republicans and nation
alists. "
Disturbances also took, .place at
, Ratibor, in Silesia when an erroneous
announcement was published to tho
effect that Dr. Marx was leading Von
Hindenburg, by nearly two million
votes. The nationalists, roused by
this gathered and began marching
' through the streots. Dispersed by the
police, they obtained reinforcements
and besieged the police staUons in
various towns in the area. "Scores
of arrests were made.

psychological effect outside of Ger
many rather than what It may por
tend as a new direction in Gorman
politics, appears to be the chief con
cern in official circles in viewing
tho triumph of Field Marshal Von
Hindonbui'B In yesterday's election.
Continued official silence on tho
election did not conceal today a re
action of surprise bordering on
shock, with tho generally held view
that Germany has taken a stop that
is almost certnln, for a period t
least to hinder her progress toward
recuperation from tho war.
Besides the suspicion widen gov
ernment and diplomatic observers
here are" known to feel, will result
from tho Hindenburg election, par
ticularly in France, its chief effect
for Germany is expected In the re
sult of the attending uncertainties
of the attitude of financial interests
on both - sides of the Atlantic.
It is felt that complete execution
of the Days plan is almost certain
to be stllr further delayed with a
consequent effect on tho restora
tion of Europe to a sound economic
basis und directly on European com
merce. - , .' ;- -.i?f
, There nppears'to be no disposition
here, to take the alarmist viewt re
garded ns somewhat to be expected
in France and other allied countries,
that tho election means a trend
toward either militarism or mon
archy in Germany.. The German war
hero's election is regarded prima
rily as evidence of a sentimentul re
action to his war record,-
Chairman Borah of the senate for
eign relations committee, said he
did not regard the Hindenburg elec
tion as "necessarily disturbing."
"I have no doubt,'' he said, "that
there will be a recrudesonco of tho
nationalistic feeling and spirit, but
if thnt is affected along right lines,
it will bo helpful. I feel it will be
directed along right lines .
I think the outsldo world had bet
ter go forward on tho theory that
tho German peoplo had the right to
elect the man they wanted and that
until the facts appear otherwise that
they will accommodate their ener
gies nnd their efforts to right prin
ciples and policy."
Senator Swansor of Virginia, rank
ing democrat on tho foreign rela
tions committee said ho regarded
Hlndenburg's election as putttinp
Germany "under suspicion."
