Booming of Big Guns Off Cape Cod
Causes Navy Department to Believe
U-Boats or Raiders Are Near Coast
Officials Awaiting Further De-
tails as to Firing of Heavy
Pieces Off Massachusetts
Shore.

.. The presence OF German submarines or
raiders near the Atlantic coast Is far
from myth, Judging from the attitude
of the Navy Department.
Officials are convinced that the receipt
OF messages from three stations in the
vicinity Of Cape Cod telling of heavy mr.
ing Just before 10 o'clock yesterday
morning furnishes sufficient basis for
giving them full credence.
What is more, 1t is stated that there
is no doubt that an attack was made on
the destroyer Smith by a submarine.
Navy officials last night were awaiting
further reports on the firing OF heavy
guns heard in the vicinity OF Cape Cod.
The commandant of the Boston Navy
Yard up to a late hour last night had
made no further report. II was he who
transmitted the reports from the three
stations which heard the gun fire.
While Navy Department officials stand
by the official statement given out yes
terday. they say no extraordinary pre-
cautions have been taken. They say the
coast is well patrolled and that while all
vessels at sea have been notified this Is
only the usual procedure
Navy Department officials would not
discuss speculation as to whether the
British warship bearing the British COM
mission had been the object Of an at
tack, as was the cruiser Hampshire,
which was sunk while taking Lord Kitch-

TO elect a president general The day
was marked by bitter partisan strife and
at IL o'clock last night 1t was seen that
a further attempt to reach a choice be-

The balloting began at the opening of

through hours marked by intense par

veiled charges Of actual dishonesty. Pat

keynote, but through all the speeches the
delegates waited tensely for bulletins
from the voting machines on an upper
floor. where delegation after delegation
cast ballots.
