CUBAN PRESIDENTIAL
 ELECTION STILL UNDECIDED
Complexion of the Next Cuban Con-
 gress Remains in Doubt.

Havana, Nov. 3.-With the result of the presidential election still unde- cided and both sides claiming victory, it was considered probable tonight that new elections may have to be held in some of the municipalities of Oriente province before it can deh- nitely be determined whether Presi- dent Mario G. Menocal. conservative candidate, or Dr. Alfredo Zayas, the Liberal nominee, has triumphed
 The latest returns from Wednes- days election. still incomplete in each province, give the Liberals a major ity in the provinces of Havana, Ca maguey and Matanzas. The conser- vatives lead in Pinar del Rio and San- ta Clara. but the result in Oriente, which has become the pivotal prov ince, is undecided. Should the final returns give each party the electoral votes from the provinces in which they now lead. it would be necessary for either to carry Oriente in order to win. On the face of the scattering returns received the Liberals have majority in this eastern province, but the conservatives claim that complete returns will swing the province in their favor.
 Figures on the result of the con- gressional elections still were unayail- able tonight and the complexion of the next Cuban congress continued to be in doubt.

 FEDERAL RESERVE ACT
Placed Before the Supreme Court Yes-
 terday for Decision.

Washington, Nov. 3.-Constitution- ality of the federal reserve act, in so far as it permits national banks to act as executors, administrators, trus- tees and registrars of stocks and bonds, was placed before the supreme court today for decision. It came up on an appeal filed by the First Ma tional Bank of Bay City, Mich, from a decree of the Michigan supreme court prohibiting the bank from ex- ercising such functions.
 The Michigan courts ruling was made Sept. 26.

The court held that the laws of Michigan pro- hit national banks from acting in the capacities mentioned and that con- gress exceeded its constitutional au- thority in giving such powers.
