chances of Adolph Hitler to be named Chancellor of Germany.
The Daily Express in a report purporting to describe a conference between President von Hindenburg and the present Chancellor, Franz von Papen, asserts that Hindenburg banged the table with his fist and threatened to resign rather than appoint Hitler Chancellor.
Other papers consider Hitler’s appointment imminent.
The Berlin correspondent of the Daily Telegraphic reports that the outrages in East Prussia are the result of widespread plans for a massacre on the scale of St. Bartholomew, in which the Republicans and the Jews were the scheduled victims.
This according to the correspondent, was admitted by the Nazis who are now in police custody.
The plot, he writes, became known to Hitler at the last moment, and he it is who prevented the execution of the plans. Some of the local leaders, however, are ignoring Hitler’s orders, asserts the Daily Telegraph.
