EFFORT BEING MADE TO RAISE SUNKEN VESSEL (Continued from page one) alive for 73 hours at leant. New ixrndon, Conn . Sept. 2G 1 - Trappcd in the submarine S-51, 31 officers and men of the American naval vessel are imprisoned today, 130 feet below the surface of the sea. following a collision of the submcrsIHe with the coastwise steamer City of Romei Whether the men are alive or dead is now a matter of conjecture. Lieutenant Commander Scanlon of the New London submarine base, believes there is a possibility that they are alive and have a fighting chance to be rescued. Others believe they have perished. The collision occurred at 10:24 ast night, sb that at noon today the victims of the disaster had been imprisoned in the submarine for more than 14 hoursThree Are Rescued Three members of the crew were rescued and are now enroute to Boston on the City of Rome. Lieut. R- 11. Dodson, commander of Rhe Sol. went down with his ship. The destroyer Pulnam. the IL S. S. Camden, patrol boats from the New Ijondon submarine base, and six submarines, are now on the scene of the disaster. The Putnam reported finding a buoy made of life preservers and said there were no marked quant'ties of oil floating on the water where the S 51 went. down. Opinion Is Divided Every effort is being made to ruis' the submarine promptly,, but opinion is divided! as to whether there is t'ity puss bi ity of resetting the 34 nu n alive. A- the three survivors knew nothing of what transpired inside the submarine after the‘accident there is none to testify as to whether t)<-- waAefptjght cbmjiarntentis madj' it possible for tho men in the submerslbfc- to escape immediate suffocation. Tho fact that three men escaped, however, indicates that hatches were open which would Ihivo permitted an escape. The navy has engaged Harris, Chupiuanand Scott, a. New Haven firm of divers and salvagers. To aid in the rescue of the submarine. In tho meantime, vessels on the scene are grappling for the sunken vessel in the hope of bringing her to the surface. To Investigate Crash Secretary of the Navy Wilbur today announced that tho ramming of the submarine SSI by trie steamship City of Rome would bo investigated immediately. After calling personally at tho white house to acquaint President Coolidge with the details of the disaster. Wilbur auuouuced that all refief work was being carried forward as. fast as possible in the light of belief that the thirty-

four unaccounted for of the crew may be alive in the sunken vessel. New London. Sept. 26 —Tiny United States submarine S-51, rammed by the steamship City of Rome during the darkness of the night, was sunk off Block Island, according to wireless dispatches leceivcd here early today Three of the crew of 38 officers and men were rescued and picked up by the City of Rome. Thirty-five men including Lieut. R. K. Dcfiison, who was in command of the undersea craft, are believed to bo imprisoned in the vessel at the bottom of the sea«. TTiat the 35 men beMevcd still aboard the vessel may srj 1 be alive was the opinion expressed by naval officers here early today. They said that the submarine, being divided into compartments,, may have been damaged by the collision in only one compartment permitting the crew to get into other comportments and cling to life there a bit longer. It. was explained that under these conditions and with special provisions available to combat just such
