Let's see shall we

When it comes to actually finding the senator's daughter I don't forsee many problems for the radio hosts. They have a highly skilled investigator in Matthew and a fanatically loyal fanbase who will gladly inform them of any Black Skull members they see. The Black Skulls don't exactly strike me as the stealthy and subtle type so I doubt they will be making much of an attempt to cover their tracks or keep their location a secret and I could see the radio hosts stumbling upon them after a couple hours at worst.

The second objective of rescuing the senator's daughter meanwhile is decidedly more complex. There isn't any specific location for where their hostage is being held so it's hard to analysis anything specific but I assume she'll be being kept in a building somewhere which means the radio hosts are going to have to sneak past a fair few guards in order to get to her. I don't see Matthew being of huge help here due to his more non-combat role within the group coupled with his advanced age although he could act as a lookout of sorts with his Earhorn to hear if any Black Skull members are nearby leaving William and Felix doing most of the leg work for this particular mission. Felix seeming to have the best skill set to deal with the Black Skulls. Being a skilled marksman he should have little trouble taking out the much more reckless gang members in combat and will help the three remain undetected by gunning induvidual members down before they can notice them. His Spoken Word Jazz ability could also be very useful here as it allows for a more non-violent means of disabling enemies which would be helpful in not alerting other Black Skulls members with gunshots or sounds of a fight. William will be able to help out with combat situations and the asteroid fragment he carries around will help warn of nearby gang members.

The success of this mission depends entirely on getting the senator's daughter out of the building before the Black Skulls can realise they are missing as if they are discovered before that and have their cover blown they will have little chance against a large gang of superhuman bloodthirsty bikers hunting them down on motorbikes. This shouldn't be a super difficult task with the Black Skulls being too drug addled to notice a dude brazenly attacking their stronghold but the risk of being discovered is still quite high owning to the large number of gang members lurking about. If they can stick to only alerting a few induvidualsand taking care of them quickly and quietly they should be fine but accidentally running into a large group of them would be a death sentance. The optional objective of killing all the Black Skull members is a near impossible and a risky option to take so don't expect that objective to be fulfilled.

The two Black Skulls objectives are very much linked together as chances are the way they are going to stop the radio hosts from resucing the daughter is by killing them. The main thing going for them is that they are the better combatants due to their superhuman strength and durability as well as just being more used to combat than the three radio hosts. If this scenario ends in a fight then the Black Skulls should have little trouble outgunning and overpowering three men and if by some miracle they do escape they won't have much trouble tracking them down. However what really works against them here is their utter lack of perception and the easiness in which they get distracted something which is not a good disadvantage to have when the objective is to look after and guard a hostage. The only thing that seems to alert them is being directly attacked and it's possible that Felix's natural charm and charisma might actually allow him to talk his way our of a confrontation, at least long enough for either him or William to shoot the gang member he's talking to.

Overall I think that Capone's Speakeasy Hosts will complete their mission, successfully rescue the Senator's daughter and return her safely home. The Black Skulls are just not well suited to a hostage keeping scenario and are unlikely to keep the senator's daughter properly guarded, leaving plenty of openings and oppourtunties for the radio hosts to sneak in and get her out before the Black Skulls even realise she is missing.
