The preliminary measurement of the W boson mass from {ital e}{nu} decays produced in {ital p}{ital {anti p}} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV using the D{null} detector for the 1994-1995 Fermilab run is presented. The analysis uses events with electrons in the central region ({vert_bar}{eta}{vert_bar} {lt} 1.2).From a sample of 32,856 {ital W} decay and 1562 dielectron events we measure the {ital W} mass to be 80.38{+-} 0.07(stat.){+-}0.13(syst.){+-}0.13 (scale) GeV/c{sup 2}. The technique for determining the mass and its systematic errors is discussed.
