Monday morning in the upper Adriatic,

The stricken submarine was raised to
the surface last night after 81 hours of
desperate labor by divers. who worked
hour after hour to attach an airpipe
to the sunken vessel and to fasten steel
cables in order that she might be lifted
to the surface.
Twenty-seven men perished in the
tragedy First reports received by the
naval authorities indicated that there
were 81 men aboard, but check of
the bodies today revealed that four Of
the crew had remained ashore for rea-
sons which have not yet been ascertain

two officers. Capt. Well and Comdr.
Fasulo

Capt. Well and Comdr. Fasulo were

tod newspaper correspondents that
he and the President devoted only
a few minutes to political discussion,
but many hours to fishing.
Past, and not future, politics were

who would succeed him as national
committee chairman and said ne

Curtis campaign. When Mr.. Coohdge
announced that he would not accept
another nomination, Butler, one OF
his closest friends, decided to WITH
draw his direction of the commit
tees campaign affairs.
The President has given no dlrecC
indication yet when he will make
his first visit to the executive ottlceS
here. For the first few days after
his arrival at the summer White
House, he delayed the initial visit
because he wanted an uninterrupt-

condition of roads over which he

portico of Cedar Island Lodge. Fol-
lowing the custom observed at
Washington, he takes morning or
late afternoon walks regardless of

Although he has been told that
such weather is favorable for trout
fishing, Mr.. Coolidge has not gone
into the sport with as much zest
as he would like. So far, he is re-
