ILL LUCK AGAIN
OVERTAKES S5l
Sakaged Submarine Goes
Aground at New York.
BU United Press

NEW YORK, July 7.-At what
seemed the triumphant end Of one
OF the greatest salvage operations
ever undertaken in these waters,
the submarine S-51, In tow for the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, went aground
today on Man o. War Rock. within
the confines OF Greater New York
City
The submarine, which was draw
ing 80 feet of water in tow. lies
at the foot of Borden Ave, Hunters
Point, Queens, and opposite Thirty
Ninth St., Manhattan.
Capt. Harold @. Wright, IN charge
of construction work at the Navy
yard. said that, according to infor
nation radioed from the towing ves-
sells, the two rear pontoons support
ing the S-51 had broken away. 1t
was reported that the submarine had
first scraped the rocks and that
when the rock were passed. the
weight of water rushing sternward
inside the hull had resulted in part
ing of the hausers linked to the
pontoons.
The officer expressed the opinion
that it might be several days before
the, S-51 can now be dry-docked. The
work of reattaching the pontoons
will be started at once, however.

Possible, Despite Expected
Valuation Decrease,
Say. Officials.

The State tax levy can be cut to
23 cents for 1927, despite probable
cut in the States assessed valuation
when the State tax board finishes re

certain officials who did not wish to
be quoted as being at variance with
the heads Of the State administra,

The tax board began its review
Tuesday.
A cut of 5 cents In the State tax
levy would mean a saving to In
diana taxpayers OF approximately
50, 500. 900, and still not require great
retrenchment. The levy for 1925 was

DUVALL HAT
THROWN IN
HIGHER RING
Friends Start Movement to
Back Mayor for Gov
ernorship.
HAND BILLS PRINTED
Position in Political Maneu-
vers Defended.

Friends of Mayor Duvall have cast
his hat into the ring as candidate
for the Republican nomination for
Governor, it became known today.
The movement apparently has
reached an advanced stage, for hand
bills are in circulation at factories
and other centers, defending the
mayors position in recent city ad-
ministration political maneuvers.
The bills are signed by the "Duvan
for Governor Club"
Don't read the fnsidious propa
ganda which is being circulated
against the city administration
under the guise of a weekly news
paper" say the bills.
REMEMBER
''The charges against the police
department may not be true. officers
Of the police department may not
be accepting protection money, as
has been charged.
Park Board Mentioned
There may be a reason for the
tearing apart Of the park board.
'There may be a reason for the
change in the routing of Kessler
Blvd.
"Just because man is brother
in-law of city official does not mean
he is not a capable employe."
.Duvall's candidacy for Governor
would be disturbing factor in the
camp Of Senator James E. Watson,
as a number of the Senator's political
generalissimos already are enphat-
ically in the field.
Leading Watson Men
NJ. Bert Thurman, collector Of In
ternal revenue, and Repu blican
State Chairman Clyde A. Walb are
leading Watson men who are sup
posed to be in line for the honor.
Thurman was considered the
brains Of the Watson campaign in
the primary while Walb violated prec-
edent by espousing the Watson
cause and opposing the candidacy Of
Claris Adams, Watson's opponent.
Whether Duvall's candidacy means
a difference between the hefty young
ring Senator Arthur r. Robinson and
his political hacker, George V. Coffin,
have formed and the Watson bali
bearing machine is being discussed
considerably.
In the recent primary, Duvall was
concerned chiefly with the fortunes
of two Roblnsons, Senator Arthur
r. and Clyde E.. president of the
Marion Comfy State bank of which
Duvall formerly was chairman of
the board Of directors. Clyde E. Rob
inson was nominated for Marion
County treasurer.
Should Duvall win the guberna-
torial nomination. Robinson man.
not a Watson henchman, would be
in the saddle.
