DUE TO HEART FAILURE. NOTIFY MOTHER.”
THE MAYOR SAILED FOR EUROPE SEVERAL
DAYS AGO, INTENDING TO SPEND A SHORT TIME
RECUPERATING.
THE MAYOR SAILED SEPTEMBER 4. HE AN
NOUNCED IT HIS PURPOSE TO ENJOY A BRIEF
VACATION ON THE OCEAN. HE THOUGHT THE
SALT AIR WOULD RESTORE HIS HEALTH. A
STATEMENT BY HIS SECRETARY IMMEDIATELY
BEFORE HIS DEPARTURE DENIED RUMORS THAT
THE MAYOR WAS SERIOUSLY ILL. A RECUR
RENCE OF THE THROAT TROUBLE HAS PRACTI
CALLY DISAPPEARED, IT WAS SAID. THIS
TROUBLE WAS BROUGHT ON BY BULLET
WOUNDS INFLICTED BY JAMES J. GALLAGHER
IN 1910. THE MAYOR SAID OF HIS CONDITION:
“I HAVE BEEN NEARLY FOUR YEARS MAYOR
AND HAVE NOT AS YET HAD A VACATION.
I HAVE BEEN LAID UP A FEW DAYS WITH ONE
SHARP ATTACK OCCASIONALLY I HAVE FROM A
MISHAP A FEW YEARS AGO. AM NOW OVER IT
AND HOPE NEVER TO HAVE ANOTHER.”

WAS TOO WEAK TO RESPOND AND HIS SECRE
TARY READ HIS SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE. HE
WAS PLACED AT THE HEAD OF THE INDEPEN

MAINLY TO HIS PERSONAL POPULARITY.
