llindenburg Victory Seen Over Hitler-Duesterberg * * * # * * Nomination of Two Candidates*hv Split Alliance Regarded us Making President’s Reelection Practically Certain CoV Theodore DeusTtßen* The nomination of Adolf Hitler, leader of the German NationalSocialist Party, and Colonel Theodor Duesterberf, representing the Nationalists and Steel Helmet League, following the rift that broke up the alliance of the three organizations mentioned, is seen by supporters of President von Hindenburg as a certain indication of victory for the Field Marshal statesman. Political statisticians believe that the aggregation of parties that oppose the President made a grave blunder in putting forward two candidates instead of presenting a united front behind one standard-bearer. This was the original plan of von Hindenhurg's opponents, but it foundered on the obstinacy with which Hitler demanded the subordination of his weaker allies. Colonel Duesterberg is deputy chairman of the Steel Helmet League, of which, strangely enough, von Hindenburg is honorary president. But the President’s sympathy with the policies of Chancellor Bruening lost him the support of the organization as a unit. However, it is expected he will get msny individual votes of its 800,000 members. One of the most interesting features of the election will be the volume of the Hitler vote. Although the Nazi leader claims 15,000,000 followers, political observers are confident that Hitler will he extremely fortunate if he succeeds in polling 10,000,000 votes in the entire country. The same observers concede von Hindenburg 18,000,000 at the very feast. If those predictions are correct the “Granite President” is as good as in *or another term.

Berlin, —Two noLen are ringing throughout Germany today and aro j causing more stir than the explosion o. a "Big Bertha" in the decorous Unter den Linden. One is the soft "plop” of Adolf Hitler's ; Nazi cap as it hit the canvas in the presidential ring. The other is the metallic clang of Colonel Theodore Duesterberg's steel helmet as it did likewise. The entrance of these two candidates In opposition to the granitelike R esident von Hindenburg in the first balloting for the I’residoncy, on March 12, has caused political statisticians to dig feverishly ' for pencils and paper in an en- 1 deavor to make a forecast as to the result. The nominations o: Hitler and Duslerberg came on the heels of a b.eakdown in the week's negotia- ] tlons which sought to line up the opponents of President von Hindenourg (n a solid front, h d by a single candidate. The Steele Helmets L aguc, of which Colonel Dusterberg is leputy chairman, and'the Nationalist Party, of Dr. Alfred Hugeqberg have b en allied with Hitler's Na-tional-Socialist (Nazi! Party, the main objective of the alliance being the ousting of Hindenburg. Si angely enough, von Hindenourg is honarary president of the Ste:l Helmets organization, which is cf;-dlt“d with about 800,000 members, out owing to Ills identifying himself with ih ■ policies of Chancellor Bruening, to which the organization is opposed, the President ha i lost the support of that j body as a unit, although it is be-1 iieved lie will get many of the individual voles of Steel Helmet member!. ■The collapse of the plan to oppose von llludenbulg on a nnit<'«i , froht-c said ") have been tine to the obstinacy with wiiicli Hitler demanded ilie subordination of his, weaker allies ha , caused much jit-;

They also | claim that as matte s now stand til - President cannot be defeated. One of the more interesting as- 1 pects of the coaling elections will ] he the size of the vote cast by the followers of Hitler. Although the * ,\'a/.i leader claims a following of ] 15.1HM.000 voters, political statisti- I liana infused to concede him more | than 10.000,000 at tlie very most. | Out of an estimated total of 38,000, i 000. o: which they give at least 18,- I i 00,000 to von Hindenburg the fore- ] caster i* give tbs Communist Pa ty K.u00.000 and the Nationalists 2,00,000; so on the face of those figures it is difficult to understand how any party can expect to beat tlie President.

J Unable to attend tho celebration j 1 there on February 22, the famous general') birthday, she Intends to visit the celebrated she before the 1 year ends. Mrs. Boyers Is 67 and has made several trips through Virginia near Mount Vernon, hut nev- | er has be a n on the old Washington [ homestead. Mrs. Boyer traced her ancestry to John Washington, uncle of George Washington on one side of , her family and on the other to her : grandfather Walter L.-wis lineal descendant of Betty Washington, I the first president's si/er.

The lirst word prostrated her, 1 but I was not long before she was i exhibiting ihe same courage as her] husband, and she helped author-, ities. Once she Joined searchers 1 for i short period. Her burden was all the greater! -for she had been treating Ihe child several days because of a cold. Ami, ihe kidnapers without ever trying' to catch up some quilts, dragged the j baby off. clad only In Ps “sleeper." i Moreover Mrs. Lindbergh is again |un expectant mother. Hopewell. N. J . Mar. 2.—(U.R) j Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. 2h-month-j old baby of Colonel and Mrs Lind bergh was seized from his crib] where he lay ill with a severe cold last night and taken away by kidnappers of whom no trace had been 1 j found today. The child, wrapped only in night |clothing, a "sleeper." was taken,' evidently, by a man who had one or two confederates, one of them a woman. I ’Troopers and police search for the kidnappers extended over the lentire Atlantic coast, the search ! crs spurred by knowledge that exposure may add to the child's peril. Baby Lindbergh had !>een sufferj ing_ with a cold. He had been, j doctored several days. Mrs. Lindbergh who is again an expectant mother, was prostrated Iby the tragedy, made even more I poignant by her fears that the child would suffer from its illness an.l perhaps from its kidnappers. “The poor child lias a cold and will suffer.” Mrs. Lindbergh said, ! brokenhearted. "We have been I doctoring him for several days.” I Col. Lindbergh, quiet but maniIfestly suffering from terrific strain, ] said he suspected no one. and oh-] ]served: "They must have got through tha' window”—pointing to a screened window which would not close because it was warped. In black jacket and golf cap, lie' helped police search the premises. I l ines were scanty. The police knew only that the ! intruder had used a ladder, put up lin sections; had sealed into the] nursery; and there left a rfote—j 'presumably a ransom demand, then ! hail scrambled down the ladder.; j making his way to a point down* “Featherbed lame” toward the main highway.

Ills wife, daughter of the l&te. .Senator Dwight Morrow ami Aim-] panion of the colonel on a venture some flight to the Orient lasi year.) pulled herself together remarkably ] after her first prostration and then igave police help, too. The baby had been tucked away for the night In Ills crib. Mrs < I Lindbergh had kissed him goodnight. She noted that he went to! sleep. I Between that time and lit p. m.,i | a man or men, using a ladder, crept . lup into the nursery, seized the* ] child and came down into the dark ; • ness of the sylvan retreat. Tall; ale footprints were found ‘outgide. The whole area was rop-; led off so measurements might be; ! made of these prints, and tile search be unhampered through the woods nearby. The kidnapers left a note in the baby's crib —presumably a demand lor ransom. Police would not say , * more. Col.

The Lindbergh estate in tho woody seclusion of a rocky moun- ; talnslde near here has a private telephone, but Lindbergh after ]notifying the state police asked] ! telephono headquarters to keep the! j line clear. The vicinity soon was alive with state troopers and a newspaper- ] photographer army. To the news : men, Colonel Lindbergh confirmed I news of the kidnaping. "Yes, it is true," he said “I am sorry l cannot tell you more.” He was restrained, hut evidently ' under a great burden. The hunt elsewhere was on full ] blast. Soon, the police cumo across a clue that indicated the man who did the kidnaping had the aid of a I woman. At the foot of the ladder was I'ouml the prints of a man’s stock- , iuged feet. These prints trailed )down a narrow roadway about a jmile- a point about half way to the 1 nviin thoroughfare. At this lialf- ; way point a woman's footsteps joined those of the man. Police presumed that the man and woman had parked a ear in the main highway and that they ] look awgj- ihe baby. Col. H. Norman Schwartzkopf, head of the state police, was at the home as Lindbergh gave his contirmaion. He quickly assigned j dozens of men to search the i grounds ami region thereabout. The task, waa done thoroughly. Aten prowled through the nearby {woods, their searchlights dashing. ■ They stopped cars and busses. At the slate line near Princeton, a bus was halted ami all passengers were carefully examined. Meantime, the state teletype system had carried word of the mysterious inquirer in a blue sedan who had sought information at ' nightfall as to the road to the Liudi iierghs. Word was spread through New Jersey and across the metropolis that the baby was stolen. In New York, Newark. Philadelphia and other cities police sprang to tlie hunt. Offers of help from - neighbors and strangers poured in. There was angry talk of what would befall the kidnapers if naught. i And. tlie hunters recalled that In • New Jersey there is "Jersey Justice.”* famed throagliout the land for its speed and efficacy. Moreover. the maximum penalty for kid- . imping in the stale is life imprisonment. i Lindbergh himself Joined in flip ■ searching work. f' Clad in a black windbreaker and - with a cold cap he went about the - grounds with a flashlight, hoping - to find some telltale prints, a droppmi article of clothing or something

that would put the police on the rigid (rail to find the child and end the anguish of the family.
