The Watergate burglars (the Cubans and Liddy) were probably told a cover story by their handlers - they were there to find photographic evidence of a prostitute ring being run out of the DNC.
Remember they weren't actually in Larry O'Brian's office complex, which is how the official story is usually told; they were in an office on the other side of the building. An office occupied by an official who was usually on travel, so his phone was apparently used to arrange liaisons for young DNC staffers and visiting officials.
It wouldn't be hard to recruit some right-wing Cubans plus the right-wing Liddy to go after Democratic party dirt. But actually McCord and others (including maybe Hunt) are busy sabotaging the whole thing so they will get caught, and leave a trail of evidence pointing to the Nixon White House.
