The Parliament of the State of Hesse, where the Hitlerists recently obtained a big election victory, has by a majority of votes, including those of the Centre (Catholic) Party, of which Dr. Bruening is a leading member, elected one of the Hitlerist Deputies, Professor Werner, as President of the Diet.

There is no likelihood of the Centre Party, however, supporting the Hitlerists in forming a Coalition Government in the State of Hesse, it is stated.
