He was a Communist candidate at the recent elections. '.lt is believed the explosives are connected with a plot to seize' power in Germany. The “Lokal Anzeiger,” expresses the opinion that if the suspicion is correct, that Ueberbrook’s explosives are Russian, the effect will.be similar in Germany to that produced by the publication of the “Zinoviefy Letter” in England.
