LONDON, September 10

The Berlin correspondent of “The Times” soys —The . surprise decision by President Von Hindenburg to receive early next week the. representatives of the Nazi and Centr e Parties means that the. Reichstag sitting on September 12 will probably be postponed until after the conversations. (R is pointed out that if the Nazis and th e Centre Party really , .are aVe to agree, the President may not be able to refuse . their claims. In this overt, the Reichstag might not be dissolved by presidential decree, but merely adjourned to enable the recasting of the Cabinet without. Captain Von Papon. . ;
