.GILROY ASKED TO KEEP MUM.
Alleged Cause of the Mayors APP
parent SuIkiness.

It has been noticed lately that Mayor
Gilroy has had nothing to say politically.
Since last Wednesday-after the meeting
of the Tammany Committee of Eight
the Mayor has not been heard to ex-
press any views on the political situa-
ton. and many inquiries have been made
as 20 the why and wherefore.
The alleged cause Of his sudden trans
formation, for heretofore he has always
been ready to discuss the situation, was
given by district leader this morning
In the following story:
After the Committee OF Eignht had de-
cided to place Nathan Straus at the
head Of time ticket, Mayor Gllroy, In his
usual impulsive style, put the motion to
adjourn before anybody had made the

Purroy, Before we adjourn suppose we

not good policy to give ammunition TO

lieved that the Democracy could carry
this State, unless the Democrats got to-
gerher. Now they have not got to-
quote the Mayor OF New York as say
ing that no sane man believes the De-
mocracy Can carry the State.
Moreover, the Mayor told he re-
porters two months ago that we were
going to go outside our organization for
candidate for Mayor and would name
business man: 80 we cannot spring

a scmi-Jcsting way, that the members
mouths shut till after the election, and
the motion was carried amid laughter,
in which all except the Mayor toinea.
During the last week the Mayor has
