NEW LONDON, Sept. 28. (A. P.) Belief that tho tjumlmiino S-51, sunk fourteen miles east of It lock Is land Friday nlttht, when rammed by tho steamship ICty of Home, might be raised today was expressed this morn ing by officers at tho submarine base here. The Monarch, Riant derrick, in which naval authorities pin their hopes to raise the S-51, was started toward tho scene of tho disaster at 7 a. in., an early mesuge to the subma rine base here stated. The Ben was calm after a nlnht of heavy wind. AlthouKh every effort wits being di rected toward rescue work, only slight hopo was held out that any of the 33 men who went down with the, craft would be found alive. Naval offi cials say that the number who went down with the submarine is 33, as one man at first listed as aboard, has been found at home in New York, visiting a sick relative. One niewiKe only was received at rllThTXTV guard and at work during the hours of ' darkness nt the spot where the S-51 went down. x That message received shortly nfter 10 o'clou kby wireless, informed tho anxious persons ashore of the futile effort to hoist the S-Bl-by. means of a 100-ton crane, tho Century. It ulso dampened tho hopes of tho naval men that sonio of their comrades of the sea were still alive In tho battered shell of the' under sea vessel. Tho message sent In by ItearAd- niiral H. H.
