QUEENSTOWN, IRELAND, Sept. 12.—The death ship Baltic of the White Star Line, hearinr the body <>f Mayor William J. Gayn- of New York City, arrived In port at 4:25 a. m.. brlnpintf fresh details of the famous American’s death The stateroom occupied by Rufus W. Oavnnr, son of the late execu tive. was roped off and guarded by a cordon of Rhlp’s stewards. It was explained that younsr Mr. Oaynor was overcome by his father's death an 1 had been suffering Intense mental anvulsh for nearly 48 hours. officials of the consular office in Queenstown visited youn* Mr. Oay nor and later viewed the body of his father, which had been temporarily prepared and lay In a stateroom. Officials who had entrance to Ru fus Oaynor's stateroom said that the younj? man had not slept an hou" since his father's sudden de fh at 1 o’clock Wednesday afternoon. N-*r had he eaten anythin*. He has been constantly under the care of the ship's physician. When Mayor Oaynor embarked for a sea voyage on Thursday. September 4. it was known that h1s physical con dition was run down. Mr. Oaynor showed signs of weakness, hut after the ship had been at sea a few days he seemed to grow better. He spent much of his time alone or with his fon. Seemed To Be Improved. Officers of the Baltic, it wan learned here, repeatedly asked Mayor Oaynor if they could not perform some spe cial service for him, but the sick man would reply: “If you treat me ns well ns you treat others. I’ll be satisfied. I am only a passenger like the others. 1 am content.” The morning of Mayor Oaynor’s dentil the sick man seemed in better spirits than usual. He walked the dock for some time in the warm sun shine. accompanied by ti e small son of one of the passengers. A warm attachment had sprung up between the tall, grave, gray-bearded man an 3 the little 3-year-old boy. Mr. Oaynor had been telling the lit tle fellow stories about some of the big flsh which live in the sen and laughed heartily at some of the ques tions which came back to him. Shortly before 1 o’cloc k Rufus Oay nor went below to look after his fa ther's luncheon. He returned shortly to find his father huddled up in a deck chair. Young Mr. Oaynor thought at ilrst that his father was sleeping and shook him gently by the shoulder. The pallor of the recum bent man's face caused his son to be- cojut alarmed and the ship’s surgeon. l)r. Hopper, was called. He immedi ately pronounced Mayor Oaynor dead from heart failure. Although Rufus Oaynor realized that his father s condition of health was serious, he was completely stunned by his parent’s sudden death. It ny us all he could do to write the wireless message which was received in New York (’Hy yesterday morning by Robert Adumson, Mr. Caynor's Dr. Hopper, w ho was more or less acquainted with the history of Mayor' Ghnuot. said that his constitution steadily had been declining since tie was shot by a maniac in Hoboken. N. J., three years ago. Mr. Oaynor’s frame was emaciated, and Dr. Hop per said that it was only by the m *st tremendous exertion of will power that the dead official could i'#» \ e held himself to his tasks. The death j»f Mayor Gay nor cast it pall of gloom over the ship. All the dam es and other festivities on board were canceled and the passengc s adopted a resolution of condolences, which they tendered to Rufus Gay- nor The male nurse who accompanied Mr. Gaynor to attend to his physical comforts, and who seldom left his patient’s side, said that the Mayor seemed to be suffering, but never complained. Did Not Discuss Politics. The last words he is known to have spoken were addressed shortly before his death to a person who asked how he was feeling. “I am feeling very well; thank you," replied Mr. Gaynor. Mayor Gaynor did not discuss poli tics on the voyage, staying time and again that hie trip was for complete rest and that he did not intend to bother his mind about political af fairs or municipal problems for a fortnight Many came to the conclusion that, in addition to taking the voyage for rest. Mayor Gaynor also took it as a means of getting a fortnight of semi- seciuslon in which he might think out hie own course in the fall cam paign in New York, decide upon is sues and, in brief, settle all political questions upon which his mind had been in doubt. If the Mayor felt that his end was near he did not show it. He left no message for the world. Mrs. C. N. Williamson, the well- known writer, who was a passenger on the Baltic, said that Mayor Gaynor appeared in the best of health and spirits. “He died with a smile upon Ms faoe and a look of perfect content in his eyes,” said Mis Williamson. “His death was the most beautiful that one would ever see. His face was turned ward to the sun, his hands were . lasped beneath a steamer rug HI? on board had been very quiet. He kept much to himself in his cabin Occasionally he walked the deck with his son. He became the chum of the little son of one of the passen gers and they spent some time to gether in the warm sunshine. Mr Gaynor must have had a large fund of children’s stories, for he kept the tot Interested every minute of their time together. Mr. Gaynor appre ciated music, and attended the con certs regularly.” The plan of transferring the body to the liner Cedric on a tender was abandoned. A grim coincidence In this connection Is that Mr. Gaynor had planned to return on the Cedric. There was a Miss Gaynor on the passenger list nnd a Mr. Whalen, but. it was officially denied that the young woman was a relative of Mayor Oaynor. She just happened to be of the family name. The Gaynor party consisted of Mayor Gaynor, his son Rufus and the male nurse. N. Y. City Officially Mourns Mayor Gaynor. NEW YORK.

That Judge L. S. Roan would be ap pointed to the new Superior Court Judgeship created by the, last Legis lature within the next 30 days was the information Friday.
