1 i TUB FREEPORT JOURNAL-STANDARD HUP 10 THEY WIN ABOUT 60 PER CENT OP VOTE BUT FALL SHORT OP NAZI NOT NOW POSSIBLE Gftrmany Interested In ot Reconciliation Between Hitler and Ludctidorff BY MELVtN (Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press) Free City of Danzig, April handful of Danzig residents with the fighting spirit of Teutonic knights had succeeded today in thwarting Nazi ambitions to create a dictatorship in this free city as a step toward Its reunion with the fatherland. Nazis, while polling approximately 60 per cent of the vote In yesterday's VolkStag. or parliament, election, fell considerably short of the two-thirds majority required to wipe out opposition parties and make themselves supreme in the city's political life. Ninety-Three Thousand Hold Out Approximately 93,000 Danzig voters, the majority of them German Catholics and socialists, combined to drown the hopes of the Hitlerites, The defeat was the first real defiance Jrazidom has encountered since It attained ascendency in the relch. The outcome was regarded here us having far greater slgnflcance for the Nazi program than its more effect on the division of parties In the Volkstag.

Nazi leaders, on the other hand, believe the result would have been far different if the Issue had been that of a clear cut plebiscite for or against reunion with Germany, Election Figures The figures showed that the Nazi party received 139,200 'Of the 232,279 votes cast for the seven parties listed on the ballot. The totals for the other parties were: social Democrats, Communists, Centrists, German Nationalists, front fighters, 750; Polish, 8,100. The' Nazis actually; gained 32,681 totes over their 1033 total and re- fained their control of parliament. But they had staked their party prestige their hopes for a two- thirds ma jority, Leaders Brought In To this end they brought into the campaign Relchsfuohrer Hitler's foremost lieutenants, including Gen. Hermann Wllhclm Goering, aviation minister, Dr.

Paul Joseph Goebbel, minister of propaganda, Joseph Buerckel, commissioner for the Saar, and Rudolf Hess, Hitler's personal adjutant. Had the Nazis won their objective, they not only would have been able to suppress their opposition, but alter the Free City constitution subject to approval by the league of nations which exercises general supervision over the Free City of Danzig, April German Nazi and a Pole were shot and another Pole beaten today In an outbreak of violence in Bren- tati. The stepson of a Polish employe of the gas company was shot in the chin and the Nazi was shot in the stomach and seriously wounded. Poles claim that a band of Nazis entered the gas company employe's home in Brentau and beat him and that the shots were fired in the ensuing fight. BY LOUIS P.
