Th.- report that counsel for the Brook?

At the offices of the Brooklyn Rapid

Final Elections Completely Wipe
Out Late Conservative Majority.
PROGRESSIVES IN CONTROL
National Liberals, Headed by
Ernst Bassermann, in Com?
manding Position.
Berlin, Jan 25. The political complex*
ion of the- new Reichstag, ?is determined
by the result of the last thirty-three ?mi
lots taken to-day. la ghown by the can*
eral party groupings, as f?illows:
Socialists, 110; l-Yog resal ve non-Boclal
1st groups, il,"? (including 16 National
Liberals, 42 Radical People*! party and
7 Progressive peaaanta); Clericals, with
Pollah, Alsatian and Hanoverian Par?
ticularista, 122; Cotteervatlves, allie?!
parti?-s. 1*1; independent 1 ea-Mintster

The results completely over-throw th.?
working ma.1?irity of tho Conservative

now able to mustjCr only 191, counting
every possible \..t-*, and places the cor. ?

This make? tho NKtional Liberal

be able to swing certain avow?*?! Na?

durement.?-. would probably b? prepared
to co-operate with the govemnvnt on
most ?iuestions.
Th<* hostility of other Progressiv.*
groups to the so-called reactionary
"ill.!-" apparently is too great for any
working understanding, except on ?pies
tiotis ?,f national defence and th?? In?
crea?M ?.f the artny and navy.
The Socialists return as the strongest
Individual party, brin-ring their total
up to 11?! by winning eleven of the
twenty-one reballots in which they per?
tlcipated to-day. This is mor.* than
double their atr? ngth, which waa S3 at
the time of the dissolution, and 2B
