MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) - The leader of Germany's Christian Social Union (CSU) acknowledged on Friday he was wrong to openly criticise conservative ally Chancellor Angela Merkel for her refusal to adopt limits on refugees.

But Horst Seehofer, Bavarian state premier, told a party congress he still wanted annual numbers capped at 200,000, warning the CSU and Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU) might fail to bridge their differences on the issue before September's federal elections.
