Sept. 10 Mayor Gay nor’s death came its a shattering blow to the political structure that had been built for the November elec tion at which the city ticket was the center of Interest. For the office of Mayor there • had been selected by Tammany Judge Edward E. McCall: the fusion committee of 107 had named John Purroy Mitchell, Collec tor of the Port; the Gaynor fusion and nominating league had named Mayor Gaynor. With Mayor Gaynor out of the race, the two-sided fight leaves a complex condition. Many of the Gaynor lead ers had assailed Mitchell bitterly. Mitchell had not been soft in handling the Gaynor men. The prospect for harmonizing the remaining Gaynor • forces and the Mitchell element, while i excellent as to the voter element is i difficult as to the leaders. The alti tude of the leaders on both sides in 1 attacking Tammany makes it ex- j I tremely difficult for the Gaynor forces j | ty amalgamate with Tammany Mitchell Stands to Gain. The chances are that the death of ; Mayor Gaynor will add appreciably | | to the Mitchell strength. Conserva- I i live men said to-day that it would i assure his election. On the other | hand, if the Gaynor leaders can not ; 1 see their way plain to accepting the I Mitchell nomination as representing all fusions and insist upon fighting j the Mitchell element to the finish. , j McCall will reap some added benefit. In that even the race would be close The actual situation is that both : j the Mitchell and McCall forces are ! seeking to-day to pick up the Gaynor strength. The announced Intention of j Comptroller Prendergast and Presi- j dent McAneny to accept places on the Gaynor ticket, made public just bc- ■ fore the news of Mayor Gaynor’s i death came, leaves Mr. Mitchell free j to accept the nomination of the In- 1 dependence League, and it is ex- pected he will so accept. If he does not. then the independence League would almost of necessity have to name a candidate of its own. A definite idea of the situation may j be drawq from the vote in the last Liner Baltic Due at QueenstownFriday LIVERPOOL, Sept. 11.— The liner Baltic, upon which Mayor Gaynor died, is not due here until late to-morrow night or Saturday morning. She is due at Queenstown Ireland, to-morrow morning. NEW YORK. Sept. 11.—The fol lowing radiogram was received to day at Crookhaven from the steam ship Baltic: To Robert Adamson, Secretary to Mayor Gaynor, City Hall. New’ York City: Father died Wednes day at 1 o’clock. Death due to heart failure. Notify mother. R. W. GAYNOR. R. W. Gaynor is Rufus Gaynor, son of Mayor Gaynor, who accompanied his father abroad. Mayor Gaynor and his son sailed for Liverpool from this city on board the White Star Liner Baltic on Thursday, September 4. At that time Mayor Gaynor was so weak that he could hardly walk up the gangplank of the ship. Once on board, he sank down upon a couch and could not speak. He attributed his trouble to a recurrence of a throat ailment induced by the bullet of an assassin at Hoboken three years ago. | p OTrnnv » Q Cpprptrm; gaynor s occrcLciiy immediate 13 upon 1 il “ ' depart lire weakened him. He was in a quarrel with the newspapers, beset by political enemies and engrossed in some of the biggest municipal prob lems that ever beset the biggest city of the North American continent. He had Just got through with a so lution of the subway problem, a gi gantic project, involving the expen diture of $60,000,000. Waldo Deeply Shocked. Police Commissioner Waldo, the warm personal friend of the late Mayor, heard of Mr. Gaynor’s death while he was helping drill 500 recruit policemen. “That is terrible,’’ cried Waldo. “It is a terrific blow to the city of New York.” Commissioner Waldo and Fire Commissioner Johnson immediately issued orders that all the flags on the police stations and firehouses* of the city should be placed at half-mast. When Commissioner Waldo entered his office later he held a handkerchief to his eyes. Waldo is a burly, rug ged, red-faced man who has received honors for bravery while serving in the United States Army In the Phil ippines. but he made no effort to hide his grief to-day. A complex situation is brought about by the death of the Mayor. Mayor Gaynor was elected upon the Democratic ticket, but Adolph L. Kline. who temporarily succeeds Mayor Gaynor is a Republican. An other feature of the change is the fact that Mr. Kline was not elected president of the Board of Aldermen, but came Into that executive position through the resignation of John Pur- roy Mitchell, who left the board to accept the post of collector of the port of New York. election for Mayor, returns showed: Bannard. Republican. 177.804. Gaynor, Democrat, 250,387. Hearst. Civil Alliance. 154,187 Total vote, 581.878. That the Gaynor vote was a Tam many vote is shown beyond question by the vote for R. R. Moore, the Tam many candidate for Comptroller, who polled 250,092 votes in the face of an unusually hot personal fight. On the face of the actual figures this three-cornered race promised to give Judge McCall an easy plurality of the total vote, assuming, as the record of the past justifies, that the Tammany machine strength was poll ed for its candidate and the oppo sition was divided between Mitchel and Gaynor. It will be seen that the combined anti-Tammany vote exceeds the Tam many vote by 81.104. with the Tam many problem that of finding a way to split its opposition. Bryan Is Shocked By Gaynor’s Death. WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—”1 am shocked to learn of Mayor Gaynor’s death.” said Secretary of State Bryan to-day. “The ews is so sudden that I can not even believe it to be true Ht> was a strong man in many re spects ami 1 know that New York will feel his loss ” hom Liverpool* thinking that the voyage would restore him sufficiently to take part in the fall campaign. Mayor Gaynor. who Immediately previous to his departure was nomi nated for re-election upon an inde pendent ticket, had planned to make a strenuous campaign this fall. His death will have considerable effect upon the political situation in this city. At the White Star Line office it was said that the Baltic should be between 300 and 400 miles off the coast of Ireland to-day. At 10 o’clock offcials of the line said they had received no report of Mayor Gaynor’s death. Crookhaven is on the coast of Ire land. There is an important wireless station there. From Crookhaven the rhe consolidated ( j ea th message was relayed to New I York Alderman Kline Acting Mayor. The duties of Mayor of New York will be administered from now on until a new Mayor is elected by Pres ident Kline, of the Board of Aider- men, who has been acting Mayor in the absence of Mr. Gaynor. News of the sudden death of Mayor Gaynor created a wave of sorrow at the City Ha\l. The flag was imme diately placed at half-mast. Many of Mr. Gaynor’s friends and admirers were unable to believe the intelli gence and besieged the office of Mr. Adamson, private secretary of the late Mayor. The cablegram telling of Mayor Gaynor’s demise was received at City Hall at 4 a. m.. but lay unopened on Mr. Adamson’s desk until the Secre tary made his appearance nearly six hours later. Mrs. Gaynor. who has been spend- I ing the summer at the Gaynor sum mer estate at St. James. Long Island, was immediately notified of her hus band’s death. She was overcome with grief. The Gaynor family sent word to the son, Rufus, to have the remains transferred at Liverpool and brought back at once for burial. It is not expected that any legal ; technicalities will hold up the return of the body. Intimate friends of Mayor Gaynor believe his death was undoubtedly hastened by grippe and throat trou ble. His private physician advised the ocean trip. It is believed also that the strenu- j otis days lust preceding the Mayor’s Former Atlanta Man. Robert F. Adamson, secretary to Mayor Gaynor, and the first person to receive nows of the passing of New York’s Chief Executive, is a formei Atlanta newspaper man, a nephew of Congressman W. C. Adamson. For a number of years Mr. Adam son was a resident of Atlanta, where he began his newspaper career. He hns been in New York for the past fifteen years, where he has made a reputation in the newspaper world He was selected as secretary by Mayor Gaynor because of his activity in the campaign and his special fit ness for the position. Mr. Adamson was with Mayor Gay nor when the shot was fired that ul timately caused his death. When the Mayor reeled as the bullet struck him. Adamson sprang to his assistance and caught him in his arms.

Fred Flanders, alleged victim of the Emanuel County physician, died on June 4, 1910. A few days later ru mors. at first faint and indefinite, as to improper relationship between Dr. McNaughton and Mrs. Flanders, be gan to circulate. Relatives of the dead man had the body exhumed ,and ordered a post mortem examination, which, it was alleged, revealed that the stomach of Flanders contained a small quantity of arsenic, although not enough to have caused death. Doctor and Woman Indicted. * Soon thereafter Dr. McNaughton, who boarded at the Flanders home, was arrested on the charge of ad ministering arsenic to Flanders to produce his death. His motive, it was charged, was a desire to be rid of an obstacle to his familiarity with Mrs. Flanders. Following the joint Indictment of Dr. McNaughton and Mrs. Flanders, the Emanuel physician, was tried in October. 1910, convicted, and sen - tence’d to be hanged. Then followed the great legal battle for McNaughton’s life, which had its echo as far north as Washington. D. C.. where the case was reviewed at length by the Supreme Court of the United States on appeal from the lower court, where the case was tried three times. Although the highest court in the land affirmed the decision of the lower court, attorneys for Mc Naughton continued the fight. Stay after stay of the execution of the physician, which originally was set for the fall of 1910, was obtained through Governor Brown, who de clared repeatedly that the condemned man would not hang until Mrs. Flan ders was tried. The last respite granted in June, 1913, put the case in the hands of Governor Slaton. Mrs. Flanders Not Tried In the meantime Mrs. Flanders waited nearly three years in seclusion for the trial, which, it was alleged, the State did not want. Finally, after six postponement* the case against her was nol prossed in the Superior Court of Fulton County in July. It was this turn of affairs which prompted the attorneys for Mc Naughton to renew the fight on the grounds that if Mrs. Flanders was not guilty of her part of the original al legations Dr. McNaughton could not be. About ten days- ago Judge Saffold and Colonel John Bennett, of Swains, boro, attorneys for McNaughton, sub mitted to the Georgia Prison Com mission new evidence in the form of affidavits of two Thomasville citizens who swore that Flanders had taken drugs in their presence which he de clared would kill him some day. Feeling Seems Reversed. Attorney A. S. Bradley, represent ing the State, appeared on the scene at this juncture with affidavits which he claimed impeached the affidavits of the defense. Following the argu ments by both sides, the case went 10 the Prison Commission for final de cision. All sorts of charges, which have stirred the State, have been hurled during the course of the McNaugh ton-Flanders case. Perhaps the most startling of these was the charge of the condemned man that certain “factions” in Emanuel County were plotting to hang him in phen«rX5 years old. against the Gate City Cotton Mills for injuries to her hand sustained at the mills three years ago. The accident occurred three years ago when the child's left hand became entangled in the cords used in weav ing the mills product and the skin and tendons torn away. It is claimed that she never will regain control of her fingers. Arrested as He Leaves Prison GRAFT IN MILK Chamber of Commerce Committee Adopts Resolutions Welcoming All Good Dairies to Atlanta. Thomas Howard, who has just completed a year’s sentence at the Atlanta Federal Prison, will be re turned to Little Rock to-day, where he will be tried for several post- offlee robberies in Arkansas, Louisi- ana and neighboring States.

The finding of the boy led to the capture of Howard. Howard was taken to Little Rock. His arrival at the prison was sensa tional. He became violent when the jailers refused to allow him to take his suitcase into his cell with him.

The Chief denied it. “Why, then, were three of them sitting directly behind me at Council meeting?*’ asked Mr. Dasher. The Chief replied that he had sent them to the Len G. Broughton revival, and that the officers had strolled into the council chamber, which is in the same building, because they would rather hear politics than sermons. Mr. Dasher said he w^s not satis fied with the explanation. GET SEA ISLAND COTTON, GAINESVILLE, FLA., Sept. 11.— Three cars of sea island cotton have reached Savannah.
