The Misrepresentation that

a sample of the misrepresenta-

to register its will at the polls.
If you will join the honest pub
fishers of all parties in this

what the State records truth
fully show, by giving the whole

but that after: slight progress'a coral
ledge was encountered which put an
abrupt halt to shoreward progress. If
this is so. the boat must be lifted
before anv further gain can be made.
The plan that is receiving favorable
consideration now is to lower a wreck
ing hose to the submarine and by
forcing in compressed air, get rid of
100 to $50 tons or sea water. This
will involve considerable diving as a
complete examination of the hull to
locate holes or stove-in plates and to
repair the damage if possible will be
necessary
The diving crew is ready to go on
with their part of the work. but it is
far too dangerous to dive with weather
conditions as they are. Yesterday the
diving float, which received consider
able battering against the scows Sat
urday night, was towed into the navy
slip, where the gear is being thor
oughly overhauled and repaired.
Rough weather off shore held up

lines from the submarine to their
drums: the Maryland is holding a
strain on the tow line which goes to
