Former Sub Chaser,
Assigned to Whalen,
Yelled in Mystery
Strange Craft, With Trim
nlingsof Houseboat, Takes
On Peculiar Cargo While
Chief Is Said to Hunt 1t

The city owns the tug John F. Hy-
Ian. Every one knows that, because
the Mayor has spoken of it, saying il
was no pleasure yacht, and that it be.
longs to the people. But what is the
strange craft. discovered yesterday
morning by ship news reporters, which
has the outline and numerals of q
submarine chaser and the trimmings
of houseboat?
When first seen it lay at dock near
South Ferry, it's black paint simmer
ing in the sun, and the inscription
IS. c. 329" on it's bows. 1t was about
seventy five feet long. It's decks were
carefully holystoned, its brass shone
there was a canvas wind-g guard to pro-
tect the helmsman, and brilliant
green canoe was swung athwart the
forward deck.
Wicker chairs and tables were on
the after deck, and a rug lay handy
to be unrol1ed when necessary. An ice
box was being slowed aboard. And In
spector James Hallock, of the marine
police, was supervising arrangements
of an unseamanlike nature.
Police Boat Appears
The police boat P. D. slid alongside
and a photograph swathed in blankets
was handed aboard the S. C. 329, with
n drum of gasoline. Then, when re-
porters boarded the S. C. 329 to find
out what it was all about, p. D. 3 drew
off and waited until they were gone
before bringing up the rest of her
cargo.
Inspector Hallock would not say
much about the boat except that it was
q good one. 1t belonged to the navy
Naval District elected the information
that on June 18 S. C. 329 was sold to
the City Of New York and deliered to
the Department of Plant and Struc-
lures.
This was strange because it was
being whispered about that Grover
Whalen, commissioner of this very de
partment, was striding up and down
somewhere along the waterfront look
ing for this charming boat.
Guests Are Disappointed
At the harbor police station it was
said that Inspector Hallock was away
for the day on duty, and at the Office of
Mr.. Whalen it was said that he was on
his way to the North River to board a
launch.
S. C. 329 moved out into the bay and
was not seen again.
Meanwhile thirty invited guests of
Mr.. Whalen and Police Commissioner
Enright, who gathered at Pier A to go
to the yacht races in the John F.
Hylan, learned that that boat was not
going to make the trip. There was a
long argument, and efforts were made
to reach Commissioner Enright on
board the Victoria bv wireless. In the
end Acting Commissioner John A.
Leach ordered that the John F. Hylan
should make the trip.
But the yacht races were called off.

Hoover Urges Interior
Waterway Development
Says Opening of Upper St. Law
renee to Ocean-Coing Ships
Would Enlarge Food SupDly

DETROIT, July 24.-1mportance of
opening the upper ST. Lawrence River
to ocean going vessels as a means of
enhancing the worlds food supply was
pointed out in a telegram from Herbert
Hoover, former food administrator. to
the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tide
water Congress and read to the con-
gress to-day. Mr.. Hoover had been
asked to attend the congress, but was
unable to appear.
"Therc is absolutely no question that
requires SO definitely constructive
program as our whole transportation
problem" the telegram said. Both
railroads and waterways are far be-
hind the productivity of our country.
Agriculture and general industry are
embarrassed by lack of transportation,
and the margins between producer and
consumer are widened extravagantly
by failure to obtain proper distribu-
ton.
"In the years to come the country
will find that proper outlet for the
bulk of its commodities will lie by
water, rather than rail. We need a
national study and a national program
of transportation development, and
such a program will embrace not only
Improvement of interior waterways,
but development of the St. Lawrence"
