An Associated Press dispatch from N. Y. Sunday night said:
 Long distance telephone calls from Orient Point, at the eastern end of Long Island, told today of the safety of eleven persons, including four wo- men and two children, who were on the four barges which were cut loose from the tow of the tug PliDy Fisk on that vessels trip up Long Island sound bound for New London in the storm of Friday night.
 The mystery of the barges' was clear cd up also.
 Drifted For Hours in Gale. e For many hours they drifted about in the wintry gale that swept the sound. Those on board the Elizabeth and the Frederick Willenbrock took to a dory when these craft began to break up and made their way to the other pair, the Katie Woods and the Rose Marie F'eeney. These also soon began to give way under the pounding of the storm and the whole party then took to the dory.
 It was two o'clock Saturday morning when the barges broke away from the tug when near Bartletts' reef, and approaching New London harbor. It was fourteen hours later when the last of the four boats began to sink. Mean while they had been blown in an east erly direction, until off Cornfield Point, near Saybrook, Conn; and then across the sound in their dory after the wind shifted to about Orient Point
 Exhausted in Drifting Dory.
 At five o'clock yesterday afternoon l.. A. Latham and other residents of Orient Point saw the dory drifting in to the surf They waded out into the waves and found the small boats pas sengers famished, exhausted and half frozen, and making feeble efforts to bail out the water which came aboard each time a comber swept over the sides. Three dogs had been abandoned on the barges.
 The rescued were at the home of La than tonight, recovering from their experience. Their names were given as George Towne, wife and two in fant children; Emil Jensen and wife; Frederick Sherhorn and wife, John J Johnstown and wife, and William Jones.
 Women Showed Great Courage.
 Captain Johnstown, who is in charge of the sescued party, said the women showed wonderful courage.
 The hardest tuSsle of the men in the party was to assemble everybody on the Katie Woods, which was their final effort. Captain Johnstown's dory was used for this and the task was ac- complished without mishap, despite

CONNECTICUT POLITICS.
Baldwin and Comstook Versus Gum mings and Landers, According to Report

Democratic dies of divergence are now cast with Governor Baldwin and Charles w. Comstock, training together for the United States senatorship and the governorShip, respectively, and Homer s. Cummings and George M- Landers, campaigning in tandem on their own account against them, while Lieutenant Governor Tingier is left to free lance fer the gubernatorial nomi nation or take what he can get from the one of the two machine factions that dominates the conventions, says the New York Herald.
 For several weeks the controversy raging in the democratic party of Con necticut has been drifting toward the point when Mr. Comstock would be- come a candidate for governor, and his candidacy is now an established fact There was hesitation in announcing his candidacy, it is said. because Of the general impression that the nomtna- tion was due, by virtue of right and by an expressed promise, to Mir. Tin gier. But with evidences accommodating that the machine intended to pass up the lieutenant governors claims be- cause of his alleged radicallsm and with the Cumming gs-Landers coalition coming out into the open with a drive for the two highest offices, instead of for the governorshfp and the lieuten- ant goVernorSfip, as the Baldwin men desired, MT, Comstocks reasons for reserve disappeared, and his friends feel that he is in a good position to proceed hopefully for the governorship.
 Mahan's Position Not Clear.
 Where Mir. Mahan, the resourceful mayor of New London and representa- tive in congress. will be in this s1tua- ton is not yet clear. But one thing is certain. He will not be with Gov ernor Baldwin and he will not help MT. Comstock, whom he deposed as state democratic chairman.
 The Cummings men have high hopes that Mir Mahan will come 10 t,1crr aid. MT. Cummings was greatly perturbed a few months ago when it was announc- ed in the Herald that Mir. Mahan might De a candidate himself for the United States senatorsRip. and he lost no tim ein trying to sound the sent- no time in trying to sound the senti- ed. But so far $ known, no one has smoked out the New London man vet, and he remains potentially dangerous. The Landers men are counting conf dently on his support, however. MT, IIanders was known as Mahan sena- tor at Hartford, and he not once fail ed in firing the balls that the great appropriation Wringer manufactured. From the Brandegee faction comes the news that it will not trot out q. candidate for state chairman against J. Henry Roraback in September, which means that Mir. Roraback will have the prestige of a unanimous re-elec- ton. The Brandegee men are elated at the assurance that their faVorite will not be opposed for ren0ninatlon for the United States senate, and they will not brook the danger of imperiling that advantage by conducting & hope less fight against Mir Roraback.
 Charles A. Gates of Willimantic will be the republican nominee for sheriff of Windham county. He has the pole and cannot be headed,
