Naval officials said they were hopeful that no serious mishap had befallen the F-4, bul they admitted that circumstances of tho craft's pro longed disappearance gave rise to much apprehension. Later to-night it was reported that the F-4 had been located, lying at a depth of 120 fathoms. Attempts to bring the vessel to the surface with grappling hooks failed. No signal bells had been heard from the submerged craft and this fact led to fears that the submarine's tanks .lad burst, suffocating tho crew with sulphuric acid fumes. Location SHH n Mystery.

"Deflulto action must be taken within a week," Governor Manning told Mayor Crace, of Charleston, this afternoon at a conference between them. "I asked Mayor Grace," said tho Governor, "as head of the government of Charles ton to enforce tho law. I specially mentioned th?? gambling law and tho liquor law. 1 asked for enforcement and not regulation. I pointed out to Mayor Crace that as so much lias been Bald and written on tho situa tion, and as so much time has al ready elapsed on account of his ill ness, simo I had first taken the mat ter up with him, that definite action must be taken within a week; that the public is so'well informed on tho situation that nothing could ho gained by further delay." The statement of the (?overnor fol lowed the publication in the local af ternoon newspaper of an interview with Mayor (tract;, in which ho wos (looted as saying: "Governor Manning told nie une quivocally to enforce the law itt Charleston. I took his order." Con tinuing, this interview says: "Mayor Crace was rather reticent in discuss ing the liquor situation in Charles ton, saying that, everything apper taining to the illegal sale of intoxi cants had been aired by every one ou every occasion. Ho averred, .however, that Charleston should >be granted autonomy, that the people of the city ahoU'ld be allowed to reg ulate their own affairs as to liquor selling in a -progressive way.
