|HARBOR PATROL
 RESCUED THREE
Continued from Page l,

An old disused steel schooner which broke loose from its moor ings at Groton was beached by the coast guard at New London. Long Island Sound shipping virtually was at standstill although the Clyde Mallory steamer Iroquois, with 360 passengers, left New Haven harbor last night for Bar Harbor and Nova Scotia.
 Wind Abated
 The wind had abated considerably this morning and with the changing tide the waters became more quiet. Damage was most extensive along the east shore. At Guilford the high water flooded several streets and at Clinton motor trafic was rerouted when the water partly inundated Middletown road at the railroad trestle. Summer cottages were bat tered all along the shore front but no serious damage was reported be- cause ample warning had been given of the storms approach.
 Trees Blown Over
 At the peak of the flashing storm many trees were blown over, power lines crippled and highway travel seriously nienaced. State highway crews cleared roads of debris and few isolated cases of disrupted communications were quickly re- stored.
 All plane schedules were cancelled at East Hartford.

SPANISH REBELS
 FIGHT AT ALCAZAR

(Continued from Page D
 Loyalist planes fly between dark and dawn. But the sound died away and no bomb explosions were heard, or shots from government anti-aircraft guns, at the United Press offices in the center of the city.
 Torture Dreams of Hell
 Toledo is 8 city that might rep- resent a madman's tortured dreams of hell. Down in the living rock under the ruins of the great fort ress-palace of the Alcazar, rock on which the Romans first built fort 2,128 years ago, are somewhere be- tween 1900 and 2,000 men, women and children. Loyalist officers, who at first believed that more than half of the beseiged were killed in dyna- hitting of the Alcazar yesterday, now confess that they doubt whether the great mines killed more than a scat tered few-and most of those, prob- ably, were loyalists hit by flying stones in the Alcazar vicinity.
 Buries Them Deeper
 Every shell that drops into the ruins of the great walled building buries deeper those in the rock cel- lars beneath. But those in the ruins are fighting still. Every time a loyalist shows his head within view of the southeast tower, which the rebels may reach from above there is the zip-zip-zip of machine gun bullets. The situation this mor- ming was this: The mines had been exploded and the ruin of the Alca- gar brought nearer completion. The loyalists attacked the ruins and were repulsed with heavy loss. Early this morning the few loyalists who succeeded in entering the Alcazar ruins were withdrawn to the exact positions they held before the dyna- hitting. Soon those in the cellars will be able to sense the vibration of the drills as the Asturias miners begin burrowing new tunnels be- meath them. Loyalist officers be- lieve that they activity for the next day or two will be confined to ar- tillery fire and that then the nin- ing will be started again.

Storm BlolDir,g Out
 To Sea, Is Reported
tContinued from Page l,

[ Lewes, Del, Sept. le-(UP)- Thirty-four men of the crew of the foundered fishing boat Long Island were found alive today on barge inside Delaware breakwater after they had been officially listed all night as lost.
 Coast guard vessels put out irn- mediately to bring the men ashore. In the teeth of the whistling huri- cane, they had navigated their tiny boat over several miles of Deleware bay to reach the anchored barge. They had been aboard since yester- c.y afternoon.
 Nothing could be learned at once concerning the fate of the four other men who put out with them from the sinking Long Island yes- terday morning. Four others of the Long Island crew were known to have been drowned. Three men were washed ashore alive.
 Capt. Finds LostA
 Captain Jerry. M. Derrickson, commander of the local coast guard station, put out in heavy seas this morning to inspect the grounded steamer, Ida Hay Atwater. Return ing, he saw the American flag fiy- ing upside down from the anchored barge Hatwell. His boat was too large to approach close enough to board in the heavy sea, but from a distance he hailed the barge.
 Capt. William Bertrand, Q former naval ofiicer, who had been aboard the Long Island as pilot and who had been reported by one of the three men who reached shore last night as drowned, answered. Across the heaving sea, he shouted that 34, including himself, of the Long Islands crew, were safe aboard the barge.
 Coast Guards AAstonished
 Coast guardsmen were astonish- ed. They had crews out at dawn searching the beach for bodies and fragments of the lifeboat which they believed had surely been wrecked ir the mountainous seas that sent the Long Island to the bottom. They had found one body when Derrick man returned and ordered small boats to take of the survivors.
 The Long Island, an auxiliary schooner, was beating into the bay yesterday morning when the hur- ricane descended. She was tossed about like 8 match. from the top of waves approaching the height of five story buildings, according to the three men who were at first be- lieved to have been the only sur- viyors, down into their troughs.
 A few minutes before a. m. yes- terday she began to list and break up. Her commander, Capt. George, first ordered all hands-45 men into life preservers and soon after ward gave order to abandon ship,

CONGRESSMAN
 SMITH TO WIN

CC0ntinued from Page |, Thomas F. stammers of Harrington, former state commander of the Vet- erans of Foreign Wars.
 Naugatuck was the center of the anti-Smith agitation today with Terryville also voicing opposition to the renomination of the local man. Efforts will be made this af- ternoon to inject the N. U. s. J. question into the session, it was tTl- dicated last night when delegates from scattering sections of the dis trict met in Naugatuck.
 Warden Sheridan Opposes
 It has been no secret that Ward en John J. Sheridan of Naugatuck is opposed to the rencminatiOn of Congressman Smith. Last night he presided at the secret meeting in the borough and 1t Is understood that William J. Dyer was either present or his name was mentioned as possible opponent to Congress- man Smith. Those present at the so-called secret" meeting which turned out to be no secret" at all were all N. U. s. J. supporters. They declared that the N. U. S. J. will not endorse Smith and that, there- fore, the democratic convention this afternoon should nominate someone else besides the local man.
 Dyer Is N. U. s. J. Man
 Dyer is an out-and-out N. U. s. J. supporter and in the recent Tor rington democratic primaries a slate of delegates was entered favorable to him to the Smith slate of dele gates. The Dyer-N. U. s. J. slate was overwhelmingly defeated when the primary voting occurred. Since then nothing has been heard of the N. U. s. J. and its anti-Smith atti- tude.
 Last nights "secret" meeting re- viyed the question of the N. U. S. J. and Smith and, therefore, 1t is possible that Dyer's name will be presented at this afternoons con- yention.
 Congressman Unworried
 Congressman smith was unwor- ried over the possibility of opposi- tion on the floor of the convention. It was openly conceded, even by members of the Naugatuck delega- ton, that the local man will be re- nominated by an overwhelming ma- jority. The Naugatuck delegation is known to be split but Sheridan IS claiming he can keep them in line because he is the boss" of the group that will go to Tcrrington this afternoon. Certain democrats of Naugatuck were urging Sheridan to forget his opposition to Smith because the borough delegates will be in the minority if . contest takes place on the floor of the conven- ton. Sheridan has been on the aouts" with Smith since he failed to land the Naugatuck postmaster ship.

where 1t first curved in from the ocean, the wind vented its greatest force on the coastal shipping that even in fair weather hugs the shore, Scores of villages and cities in North Carolina, Virginia. Delaware, New Jersey and New York were buffeted by the wind, flooded by unprece- dented high. tides, drenched by hours of binding rain, but only one life was lost ashore.
 on shore the day and night were horror filled.
 Battered to Pieces
 In Delaware bay the 600-ton aux Hilary fishing schooner Long Island was blown and beaten to pieces in waves as high as . f1ve-story build- ing, and eight of her crew of AS were listed by the coast guard as drowned. Thirty-four of the men made their way to a barge in Delaware in a lifeboat.
 Three men thrown into Long Is- land Sound of New Haven when their small schooner capsized clung to its bottom all night and were rescued by harbor police today.
 Another man drowned when a 40- foot cabin cruiser foundered of At lantic City, q negro WPA worker was swept oil barge adrift near Coinjock, N. C., and a. telephone line foreman was electrocuted on emergency duty.
 Fifty-two other negroes were aboard the barge from which the WPA worker was lost and another blown adrift with 1t. The gravest fear was felt for their safety.
 Streets, Highways Flooded
 Ashore, along thousand miles of coast, the wind blew the ocean up to and into city streets, over highways, and far up fresh water rivers that in turn backed over their banks with enormous damage. Three thousand coast guardsmen, several regiments of national guardsmen, Red Cross disaster corps, and state authorities cooperated to prevent loss of life on land but were unable to halt the property loss.
 Today the fishermen, merchants and other residents of North Caro- lima and Virginia cities and villages began removing tangled mass of fallen trees. sign boards and elec- trio lines, all plastered with mud and sand, from their streets. The storm was past there.
 But to the north the hurricane still blew. wreaking the same dam- age.
 Mountainous seas beat over the beaches at Rehobeth Beach, Del, Ocean City, Md, Atlantic City, N j., all the resorts on Long Islands south shore. and past Montauk Point to the Cape Cod canal. Buildings Washed Away Six small buildings were washed off the beach at Ocean City. The towns principal streets and the causeway that separates the resort rfomthe mainland were flooded. 4 block -long section of the boardwalk was washed to sea.

The waves and an all-day, blind- ing rain flooded Atlantic City streets, the wind shattered win- dows, unroofed a few buildings, broke trees and intermittently inc terruptei telephone and electric power service. WPA Director George R. Swinton mobilized 5000 men to clear away debris today in the re- sort city and suburban villages.
 Spectacularly but without great damage, the tempest struck the largest city in the country, New York. The maximum wind velocity in Manhattan was 65 miles an hour but on Long Island, in Westchester County, and in nearby New Jersey. where the city's millionaires have their estates, coast guard stations and boatmen reported true hurri- cane winds-85 to 90 miles an hour.
 Conn. Points Suffered
 Connecticut points on Long Is- land Sound suffered almost equally with ports on the ocean. Long Is- lands almost flat expanse impeded the wind not at all. On the north shore of Long Island the German trans-Atlantic flying boats, Aeolus and Zephir, were threatened with destruction for hours. The Aeolus was worked from Manhasset Bay into a Pan American Airways hangar after hours of labor, but the wind was so strong when it was housed that the zephir was left afloat, anchored to telephone poles ashore with steel cables.
 Coast guardsmen received reports that nearly 100 small boats had foundered or dragged anchors and been smashed on beaches in the sound.
 The coast guard was unable to compile an accurate list of the number of rescues 1t effected dur ing the day and night, nor could it determine the ft.te of IS or more vessels, some of them large freight CTS known to have been in the storm area and unreported since 1t passed.

 Barge Forced Back
 The motor tank barge 6ocony 5, loaded with oil for New London. Conn, started out of port, but was forced back to the shelter of Presi- dent Roads by rough sea. Shipping was at standstill at both ends of Cape Cod canal. The Merchants and Miners Steamer Berkshire with 1Sl children from Bancroft Train ing School, Philadelphia, aboard, sought refuge at Wings Neck in the lee of the cape. Several minor mis- haps were reported. Coast Guards rescued James Fazio of Medford and three members of the crew of a S8-foot fishing boat that became disabled in Boston harbOr between Sheep and Grape Islands.
 Col. Elser Sons Rescued
 In Quincy Bay, Colonel Max A. Elser, quartermaster at the .. &. Army base, and his sons Robert, 19, and Max, Jr., IT, were rescued by Coast Guards from their tossing cruiser. A third son. Edsorl, 24, also was rescued as he attempted to swim through high seas to his fathers side.
 Hardest hit were hundreds of small craft anchored in harbors along the Massachusetts Roast. Mountainous seas snapped aichor lines and hurled sail boats and motor launches ashore, where pounding seas threatened complete destruction.
 In Quincy Bay alone, more than 100 boats were damaged. Nineteen were smashed against . seawall. Twenty-Five others were broken up on Wollaston Beach. Several were washed up on the boulevard.
 Ashore gales and rain made driv- ing hazardous. Many collisions were reported, but no fatalities had been recorded early today. State WPA otSlcials, acting on instructions from Washington, halted projects in exposed areas and held workers ready to assist in protecting prcp- erty.

Battle in 5th District Cen-
 ters Around UpsOn and Wall

Town Chairman ,. Warren Upson of this city and Attorney Thomas ,. Wall appeared to be the two chief contenders for the republican cone gressional nomination in the fifth district. The g.o.p. district conven- ton opened shortly before ii o'clock this morning at The Elton with five in the race for the coveted nonin- ation, the other candidates being Representative ]. Mortimer Bell of Salisbury, Attorney David Cramer of Torrington and Attorney William Foord of LitchfieId.
 Denies Swing
 Attorney Craner denied empha- tically to the Democrat that he planned to swing his delegates to Town Chairman Upson of this city if he, himself, failed to get a major ity on the first ballot. '.No, won't give him my delegates after the first ballot. the second ballot or even the third ballot if there is cne," he aS- serted. Attorney Cramer said he was in the fight to the finish.
 As the 120 delegates to the con- vention from all cities and towns of the fifth congressional convention gathered here this morning it ap- peared that there would be no choice of Q nominee on the first ballot.
 Upson Confident
 Attorney Upson stated that he ex- pected the one hundred per cent support of the New Haven county delegates to the convention. "I be- lieve my chances of being nomtnat- ed are excellent" he said just be- fore the session got underway with Selectman E. R. Kaiser of Thomas ton presiding and with Attorney
