Close Battle
ROOSEVELT MAJORITY 2.1
Bill Reducing State Salaries
Might Face Attack in
Court Procedure

Having determined the result Of
every issue presented to the voters at
Tuesdays election, the Associated
Press closed its election bureau
Thursday night.
In every contest which was any,
thing like close more than 1900 Of
the states 2,240 precincts had re-
ported and no possible shift of senti-
ment in those still unrecorded would
shange the result. The final and
complete count will wait until the
state canvassing board has examined
the returns from various counties.
The count, with 1898 of the states
2,24o precincts reported, Shove d
Franklin D. Roosevelt had received
147,9l9 votes to $3.50 for President
Hoover, a majority of 1929. On this
basis the official returns should place
his majority above $4,000. r.
On the other hand, every Repub-
lican candidate except Hoover was
elected. The indicated majorities
run from an indicated less than TO-
600 for william LANCER, gubernato-
rial candidate, to 100000 or more for
Gerald P. Nye, senatorial candidate.
Every Republican candidate except
LANCER received majorities Of $4,000
or better.
The result was to brand LANCER as
by far the weakest candidate Cx1 the
state ticket and to demonstrate clear
ly that he was elected only by the
sweep Of support to Nye and other
candidates.
On the ballot containing the con-
stitutional amendment and the mi
tiated measures, only the proposal to
restore the crop mortgage was close.
This measure was behind with 95,348
votes in favor of the crop mortgage
and 1918 against with 1924 pre-
cincts reported. Additional precincts
were expected only to add to the
margin by which it was defeated.
The suggested three-year morato-
rum was showed under, the count
in 1929 precincts being 122,092 to
1882, a margin Of 1870.
The six tax-reduction measures,
initiated by the North Dakota Tax
payers association. were approved by
overwhelming majorities. Important
among them was one reducing the
salaries of state officials and en-
ployes. It's validity may be chal-
lenged in the courts and in any event
the courts probably will be asked to
clarity some Of its provisions, par
ticularly that which states that no
employe Of board may receive more
salary than board member. One
of the questions raised is whether
professors and others at state insti-
tutions will be limited to the $2,400
salary provided under the law for
members of the state board Of adj
ministration.
During the campaign some men,
bers of the taxpayers association con-
tended that this was not the case
while opponents Of the reduction plan
asserted that 1t did.
Prohibition repeal was approved by
a majority of 1858 votes in the 1890
precincts which had reported on this
issue. The vote was Ill 400 for re-
peal to 82,6l6 against it. The state
will remain dry, however. by statu-
tory enactment and state courts still
will be permitted to try liquor Of,
tenders.

STRIP IN CENTRAL
CUBA IS PHOSPHATE
Copyright, 1882. By The Associated


Camaguey, Cuba, Nov. ia wide
strip Of central Cuba lay PROSTATE
Friday amid the devastation of a
tropical hurricane that left an esti-
mated 1000 or more dead in its path.
Camaguey province, the richest
sugar-growing province Of the nation.
bore the brunt Of the storm. Milling
men said they believed the cane crop
virtually had been destroyed.
Most Of the dead were drowned In
a tidal wave that swept the Carib-
bean Port Of Santa Cruz Del Sur. The
hurricane whipped q wall of water
20 feet high through the town and
hundreds Of the 1000 villages were
trapped in their homes.
Elsewhere through Camaguey and
adjoining parts Of Santa Clara and
Orlente provinces, the destructive
winds damaged dozens Of cities and
towns and leveled vast areas Of cul-
ttvated lands.
Estimates Of the dead varied be.
cause 1t was impossible to obtain com.
munication with many remote parts
OF the stricken provinces.
First definite news of the disas.
trous tidal wave was brought from
Santa Cruz Del Sur by train filled
with injured villages. After talking
with them authorities here estimated
the Santa Cruz dead between 1900
and 1900.
Camaguey turned from her own de-
struction Friday afternoon, to give aid
to the refugees from Santa Cruz. The
few hospitals here already had been
taxed by the local emergency, so the
Florida railway boxcars, the Hotei
1nglaterra. numerous homes Of the
wealthy, the Garment convent, ana
empty buildings were prepared for
emergency hospital work.
Throughout the night doctors were
operating on the injured by candle
light. the power plant here having
been seriously crippled.
The last train Friday morning
brought word $50 bodies already had
been buried ct Santa Cruz and that
hundred Of corpses were lodged h
trees and debris. Sanitary conditions
were declared serious.
| Another nine-car train bearing 80
more injured was due here later Yti-
day.

B0RAH TO
FIGHT WET FORCES
IN short SESSION
Idaho Scion to Oppose Both Re-
peal and Modification OF
Volstead Act

Washington, Nov. ll.-(R-Though
assured a big majority in the new
congress, vets Friday measured their
chances for beer at the December
session of the old congress largely
by the known opposition Of Senator
Borah (Rep., Idaho and the un-
known attitude of President Hoover.
Borah, offered the prohibition
party leadership last July, made plain
Immediately upon his return to the
capitol that he would oppose vigor-
ously both modification of the Vol
stead act and repeal Of the 18th
amendment.
He forecast no change in prohibi-
ton at the lame duck" session, q
position contrary to that expressed
by house and senate Democrats and
sue, a Republican regular as Sena-
tor Reed of Pennsylvania.
Drys, already organizing to stop
any prohibition legislation, count
Borah one Of their staunchest sup
porters. Also q prominent part OF
the picture as they viewed it were
President Hoover's campaign express
sion on prohibition, which did not
include beer as did Franklin D. Roo
Sevelt's.
Borah said that in q quarter Of a
century experience he has found no
controversial question can be dis
posed of in a short session. Dry
leaders felt this particularly true Of
a congress that Is certain to become
involved In the difficult task Of
slashing federal expenditures.
On the other side, Senator Byrnes
Dfm., 8. c. expressed the opinion
1.-The question OF modification Of the
Volstead act will be out Of the way
by Christmas" while Representative
O'Connor (Dem., N. " solicited the
views Of all his colleagues on the
form modification legislation should
take.
Meanwhile, additional election re-
turns increased the margins by which
IL states approved ariti-prohibition
measures. They were Louisiana,
Michigan, New Jersey, California,
Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Ari-
iona, North Dakota, Connecticut and
Wyoming.
All but, Connecticut and Wyoming
whose voters expressed themselves
against federal constitutional prohi-
bition, voted to repeal state consti-
tutional or statutory dry laws.
On the basis OF prediction CLASH
fications by wet organizations. ovel
300 newly-elected representatives ana
n Of the senator's favor repeal or
submission Of constitutional prohibi-
ton. Counting hold-over senator's,
this made 81 Of the next congress In
the repeal or submission category.

HUNGARIAN LOANS
Nearly Half Of Nations Foreign
Obligations Being Carried in
This Country.
Special Dispatch to me Star.

cpes'e1 DtSpAgch 70 Ane Star.
NEW YORK, December s.-Almost
one-half OF HungaTy's foreign debt is
owned In the United States. The total
Is placed at 1921, $50, 900, of which
$166,5o0,oo0 represents long term in
debtedness. the remaining $56,l5o, 600
representing so-called short-term obi
cations. For all practical purposes,
there Is little difference between the two
cateeories, because short-term loans
placed In HingAry-and this Is true OF
many other countries-are commit
ments which will in all probability not
be discharged when due. They exist
chiefly in the imagination Of the con-
hrmed optimist.
Great Britain,s stake In Hungary
amounts to 18.3 per cent Of the total.
Switzerland ranks third with 12.2 per
cent, while France Is o distant fourth
with 81 per cent. The remainder of
lab per cent is represented BY mis-
cellaneous foreign credits and advances.
Nothing Is being paid on Hungarian
loans held abroad, with the exception
OF the so-called League OF Nations
loan. on which interest payments, so
lar at least, have been met. There is
no reason to expect early resumption of
payments by Hungary on coutractual
