Doubt Hitler To Be Chancellor

BERLIN, Nov. 22.—(U.P.)—Adolph Hitler's chances of becoming German chancellor were considered slight today on the basis of conditions Hitler was understood to have made to President Von Hindenburg.

Hitler, who has held out for "all or nothing" as far as the chancellorship is concerned, reportedly suggested the President drop his demand for a majority government and allow Hitler and his Nazis to govern semi-dictatorially. Von Hindenburg is known to believe that no party leader, and only a personality above the political parties is able to form a presidential cabinet.

The president told Hitler after their second conference to see if he could obtain a parliamentary majority that would support a cabinet headed by a Nazi. Hitler conferred with political leaders and then sent the president a letter said to outline the terms on which he would head a government.
