News of the World By Associated Press GERMAN POLITICS ARE WORE HUDDLED Election Precludes Formation of Three-Party Geglition SITUATION 1S CONFUSED Alternative Suggested Is For Four- | Party Coalition, Taing in Social- ists, Clericals, Democrats and Stresemann People's Party. By The Assoclated Press, Berlin, Dec. 3.—The outecome of | yesterda: general clections leaves the parllamentary situation wholly unclarified, as the new party line- up in the reichstag precludes the formation of a three-party coalition composed of the soclalists, the | clericals and the democrats, in the opinion of political leaders. Possible Alternative. The alternative suggested by the | ncreased number of deputies due | to the unexpectedly heavy vote is that of a four-party coalition, tak- ing in the soclalists, the -clericals, | the democrats, and the Stresemann people’s party. The ' component units of this combination would rep- resent political elements of hostile | contrasts, however, and it could only maintain a parliamentary exist- | ence, it is pointed out, if the parties composing it subscribed to a po- litical truce. To ‘this extent the leaders of the liberal parties are inclined to view vesterday's election as a ‘“dead heat,” and anything but a hopeful advance in thae'direction of forming a government which would rest on # broad center base and command a majority of sufficlent size to give it an era of unhampered parliamen- tary action. | Afternoon Figures, | By 2:45 o’'clock this afternoon the gevernment election commission had recelved additional returns which gave the soclal democrats, the cen- trists, the communists and the Ger- man democrats each one mere seat, | and the farmers party four more | reats.
