The Hitlerists increased their poll in the elections to the Senate of the Hamburg Free City, which took place to-day, from 145,000 last year to 205,000, and will have 40 Deputies in the Senate out of the total number of 150.
The Republican Grand Coalition of Democrats and Social Democrats which constituted the last Hamburg Government has lost its majority, and the Hitlerists will probably be included in the new Government, which will be formed by the Parties of the Right.
The Democratic Parties are demanding the annulment of the elections on the ground that they were held on a Jewish religious festival, thus disqualifying thousands of Jewish voters who would have supported the anti-Hitlerist parties.
