 NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. 14.-Re- duction in tank wagon prices of one cent per gallon for gasoline, effective Monday throughout Louisiana, Ten nessee and Arkansas, was announced tonight by the Standard Oil company of Louisiana. ''as an aid to the re- storation of what properly is considered normal prices"
 The retail price of gasoline here to- morrow becomes 2S1A cents, the statement said.
 'rWhile there has been no material release from any of the conditions from which brought the rise in the price of petroleum products, the Standard Oil company of Louisiana be- 1ieves that the process of readjustment now under way in the business world must eventually contribute to lower costs or producing and refining oil
 Up to date there has been no lower ing of labor costs for crude oil prices nor recessions in the demand for gaso- line.

HARDING CAUGHT IN TEXAS STORM;
 |S TURNED BACK
[RspublIean A. P. Leased wIrsl

POINT ISABEL, Texas, Nov. H. Failing in an adventurous attempt to quit storm-swept Point Isabel and conclude his vacation in more com fortable quarters in Brownsville, President elect Harding returned here tonight after being marooned for four hours on an uninhabited stretch of Texas prairie and decided to postpone his moving until tomprrow.
 The failure to reach Brownsville was due to a breakdown of the narrow gauge gasoline propelled Rio Grande railway train on which the president elect and his party had started away early iri the affeT71oon.
 After being informed that automo- bile traffic between the places was irn- possible because of the storm that dis rupted the party's vacation plans. they returned at o'clock in the evening without having been more than two miles away from the point.
 Another attempt to move into
 Another attempt to move into but is uncertain whether Mir. Harding will choose the railway or the foot trail that leads into town through the monotonous expanse of cactus. Late today there were some indications that the possibilities of passage by motor were improving but the train was held for his use if he should want it.
 Comes Up Smiling.
 The adventures of the president elect in his unsuccessful effort to get away from Point Isabel had many humorous and melodramatic touches. But MT. Harding and his guests bore their misfortunes good naturedly and came back smiling to unpack their hnr a this seashore resort of which they had taken leave five hours before.
 It was earlier in the day that Sena- tor Harding decided he could no longer hope to become comfortable in his little frame cottage overlooking Luga Madre. He asked about automobile facilities for the trip to Brownsville, but abandoned that avenue of depar- ture when he learned by telephone that some members of his party who start ed to motor in last night had arrived after daylight and had walked almost all the way. So he appealed to the narrow gauge.

GREEK ELECTION
 WILL DETERMINE $ FATE; TROUBLE FEARED
Cournaris Returns From Exile To Wage Campaign For Constantine Regime; Result Will Be Known Tonight
LRepublican A. p. Leased wIre1

ATHENS, Nov. 14.-General cleo tions were held throughout Greece to- day and on the outcome is expected to hinge the question of whether former King Constantine shall come back to the throne again or remain in exile in Switzerland.
 Demetrois Gounaris, former premier and leader of the opposition, who was the opponent of Premier venizelos in the ba1loting, was the candidate of the elements in the securing the return of Constantine. NJ. venizeios is unalter ably opposed to the former monarch's return
 A bitter campaign has been waged by both sides and. no matter which side carries the election, trouble is feared.
 Gounaris made preparations for quick flight in case the elections went against him, having requested pass ports to Italy.
 Exiied during the war on the charge of high treason, he was permitted with the approval of Venizelos to return to
 
 he fail of election. his parliamentary immunity would expire immediately. Tn case Premier Venizelos is success ful. he will be given a free hand in the selection of new head of the state, Prince Paul, who was offered the throne on the death of the late King Alexander, not having as yet for mally accepted the governments in vitation.
 The general elections in Greece are of unusual importance as involving a test of strength between the existing venizelos regime, and that of former King Constantine; also in determing- ing the succession to the Greek throne and possibly foreshadowing an issue between a republic and a monarchy The elections are the first held since December, 1915.
 1 Venizelos has denied that h z 1 triumph of the Liberal party of which he is the head meant that the fallen 1 king could not return to the throne l M. Venizelos pledged himself to retire 1 if his party suffered defeat.
 The results of the election will not i be known until Monday night as there 1 is an army vote in Smyrna and other distant points to be taken into con sideration. It is expected that the sol diers will support Venizelos. Prior to the balloting the Venizelists claimed themselves confident of victory.
 The premiers party looks for a big majority in Attica and other parts oi old Greece and also in Thessaly and Grecian Isles and assert that there will be close vote in Constantine: l stronghold, the Peloppensus.
 The premier said confidently:
 "The vote will show the definite de l termination of the people to realize their destiny and hold their place a: l a civilizing factor in the near east" 1 The campaign grew more intense al election day approached. The opposi 1 ton in dozens of newspapers launched numerous charges against Venizelists It was alleged that they had disorgan- ized shipping and were using all kinds of craft to bring hundreds of thousand of refugees from Smyrna and Baltun to vote Also, it was charged tha passports were being issued givint citizenship to criminals and that Amer jeans of Greek descent were being en listed as voters.
