met to extend President Von Hindenburg's
term for the presidential
seven years by act of parliament.
Hitler Refused to Quit
The communist candidate, whom
some expected to make a respectable
showing, fell short of 5,000,000 votes.
He was Ernst Thaelmann,
whose
campaign pledges led the way of
Soviet Russia. Duesterberg, with
his 2,500,000 was headed back to
something like the old monarchy.
The election commissioner issued
the following preliminary summary
of the complete results:
President Von Hindenburg, 18,-
661,736; Adolf Hitler (Nazi), 11,-
338,571; Ernst Thaelmann (communist),
4,982,079; Theodore Duesterberg
(nationalist), 2,557,876;
Gustav Winter (independent), 111,-
470, and Scattering, 8,645.
Total vote. 37,660,377.
Hitler Weakness Surprises
The most surprising feature of
the election was the relative weakness
of Hitler. His lieutenants were
confident his strength would run
from 15,000,000 to 18,000,000.
In addition to Hitler, Dr. Alfred
Hugenberg, leader of the nationalist
party, was disappointed.
He had
engineered Lieutenant Colonel Duesterberg's
candidacy solely for the
purpose of having votes to bargain
with in the event of a second ballot.
Hitler said, however, he would try
again.
Hitler ran behind Von Hindenburg
in all districts where the Nazis
were partly or wholly In control,
namely Thuringia, Brunswick and
Hess.
He also fell behind In Bavaria.
where his fascist movement
was bom.
In only three of the nation's
35 districts was Hitler ahead.
These were the rural provinces of
Pomerania and Schleswigholsteln
and the Industrial district of Chemnitz-Zwickap.
Hitler received only slightly less
than a million votes more than his
party polled In the 1930 reichstag
election. The communists, with
their 4,900,000 votes, made a less noticeable
gain over their 1930 figures.
In 1930 they polled 4,900,000 votes.
Fears had been expressed in some
quarters that the socialists might
disobey party instructions and vote
for the communist Thaelmann instead
of Von Hindenburg.
These
fears were shown to be unfounded.
Social democracy gave an excellent
example of discipline by voting for
a man whose philosophy of life runs
counter to theirs but whose honesty
and integrity they respect.
In East Prussia, where the Nazis
did everything possible to undermine
confidence in the government, the
president obtained 500,000 ballots
compared with 400,000 for Hitler.
Five Persons Killed
Although It was the most tense
election since Germany became a
republic, it went off with comparatively
lew disorders. There were
five fatlUCles. A communist and a
Nazi were killed in an election
fracas in one of the Berlin suburbs
and at Hulckeswagen near Krefeld
three communists were shot to death
by national socialists.
There were reports of
knifings
and fist fights from various parts of
the country but in general the police
had an easier time of it than
they had expected.
Extra editions of moming papers
published today after the announcement
of the complete returns predicted
President
Von Hindenburg
would be a smashing victor in the
second election.
The industrialist
Algemelne Zeltung said Hitler would
not be able to utilize his gains effectively
In the run-off.
The socialist Vorvaerts said:
"The attempt of fascism to win
power by legal means is crushed.
The nation will give Hindenburg a
brilliant vote of confidence."

New York, March
14.—(/F)—The
annual report of the United States
Steel Corp., made public today, was
of interest to Wall Street chiefly as
throwing light upon dividend prospects.
In January, the directors ordered
a disbursement to common stockholders
of 50 cents a share, based
on the final quarter of 1931, and
warned that further dividends on
the common would require improved
earnings.
Directors will meet April 26 to
consider dividend disbursements
based on this quarter's results. The
dividend has not been omitted
since 1915.
Of particular interest in the
corporation's annual balance sheet
is the cash item.
As of December
31, this totalled $150,806,329, a reduction
from a year previously of
about $47,000,000, or roughly
equivalent to the $49,000,000 deficit
incurred by the maintenance of
dividends during 1931, when nothing
was eamed from operations.
The corporation is understood in
high banking quarters to adhere to
the theory that it should never permit
its cash account to drop below
$100,000,000. Therefore, there was
a leeway of about $50,000,000 at the
start of the current quarter.
Quarterly
dividends on the preferred
stock amount to $6.304,919,. which
must come ahead of the common
stock.
Another quarterly dividend
of 50 cents on the common would
amount to $4,351,626.

Suicide of Swedish Match
King Has Little Effect on
New York Market.
New York. March
14.—(*">—Tfce
stock market generally
placid today, despite sharp
in the Swedish match lames, although
the undertone waa distinctly
heavy.
Only at the opening did the
market as a whole seem disturbed
over the suicide of Ivar Kreuger, the
Swedish match king. Miscellaneous
Issues lost 1 to more than 9 points,
then partially recovered.
Even the
Swedish match issues recovered
little, after the first burst of selling.
By the fourth hour, however, the list
was
sagging.
Some 400,000 shares of Kreuger Si
Toll were sold in the first two hours.
The stock opened at 1 7-8, off S 1-8,
then recovered a fraction.
International
Match preferred dropped 6
to 11*, then rallied a couple of
points.
Heaviness of the rails, particularly
the Baltimore Su Ohio issues,
checked the moming recovery.
3oth lost about 2 points, the preerred
touching a new low.
The death of Ivar Kreuger, announced
after the close of Saturday's
market, created no little uncertainty
as to possible repercussions.
although the opinion prevailed
in Wall street that any adverse
effects would be felt principally in
Europe. It was believed that Kreuger
and his companies had virtually
no bank loans in New York.
It was felt In some quarters that
considerable selling might come Into
this market from abroad, as result
of Kreuger's death, because of the
greater ability of this market to
absorb extensive liquidation. In contrast
with most European markets.
Before the opening, however, houses
with European connections reported
that
they had few selling orders,
and the opening of the London market
was regarded as highly reassuring.
Counter balancing the adverse effects
of Kreuger's death was the
large plurality polled by President
von Hindenburg in Sunday's German
elections. It was reasoned that
the former field marshal would be
elected without difficulty at the
run-off in April, and most quarters
In Wall street felt that keeping him
In office distinctly advanced
the
cause of settlement of European difficulties.
Foreign exchanges were fairly
steady at the opening, with sterling
cables unchaged at $3.63 1-4.
