Outcome Now Doubtful By KARL H. VON WIEGAND. ( ni versa! vnitf staff Correspondent, Berlin, April 8.—Field Marshal Von Hindenburg was nominated today as candidate for president o f Germany by the nationalist bloc to rfun against farmer Chancellor Marx, candidate of the lef tbloo. The aged field marshal has accepted the nomination anti agreed to run. Hindenburg * nomination carne as a dramatic climax to five days of bitter struggle between Stresemann’s peo ple's prfrty, which demanded the re nomination of Dr. Jarres, candidate of the rights at the first election, and the nationalists who foresaw the feat of Jarres and insisted upon the selection of Hindenburg. Twice the field marshal, who I « 77. refused to run. declaring himself too old to undertake such a responsi bility. He recommended that they stick to Jarres but the nationalists persisted in their pleas. It was the persuasive power of Admiral Von Tir pitz. who called on Hindenburg at midnight la*t night with the endorse inent of the Hindenburg candidacy by the Bavarian peoples party, which finally swept the retired soldier Into the maelstrom of German politics. Election Now Doubtful. Behind the Hindenburg candidacy now stand in a formidable front prac tically all parties outside the left bloc of socialists, centrists and demo crats, and of course the communists. The election which, as between Marx and Jarres seemed an easy victory for Marx, has become very doubtful. Be sides being the national hero who led the armies during the war. and who did not desert his country in the hour of defeat but led his armies back and ♦hen helped President Ebert demob! lize them and re-establish order, and who therefore enjoys universal re spect and even veneration of large classes r»f the German people without regard to party, he also has the en dorsement of the nationalist**. Strese mann’s people’s party, the Bavarian people s party, the Bavarian peasant’s union, the economic party, the flan nova Hans, and probably the Luden dorff racialists. These parties polled In the last Reichstag election a combined vote of more than 13.00O.O0O or about the name as the parties championing Marx. If those parties are able to control their \oters, therefore, the election may be decided by a few thousand vote's. Fight to be Hitter. The Sfresemann party i* anything but enthusiastic over th*» candidacy of Hindenburg. and stood against him In the interpartv, convention to the la at,. Homing on the he«l» of the union of the left parties behind Dr. Marx, the nomination of Hindenburg - a further defeat for Stre^emann, who will have to answer for any com plications in the foreign policy which llindenburg's candidacy may evoke. The election fight promises to be one of the bitterest Germany has ever seen. Already the war record of Field Marshal Hindenburg is underj fire in the left press which openly charges that he is merely “place holder for the return of the men arctiy.M It seems certain that chanbes in the present government coalition are Ine vltable once the presidential election Is out of the way.
