The nomination Of Seth Low for Mayor gave a
! strong impetus yesterday to the boom OF Justice
/ William J. Gaynor for the same office. John C.

egation from the Municipal Union that Gaynor's
/ name was under consideration by Tammany
/ Hail. and encouraged the Municipal Union to
/ continue getting names to a Gaynor petition
! Elliot Danforth told the same committee that ne
/ thought Gaynor was the most eligible Democrat
! for the nomination. and conveyed the impress
sion that David 3. Hill was Of the same opinion
The Municipal Union is an organization that
! was brought into existence about three weeks
ago to do for Gaynor what the Citizens Union
was doing for Low. except that instead or Itself
nominating Gaynor its purpose was to force his
nomination by the Democratic machine. 1t mas
distributed In the last week through the five bor-
oughs 10000 blank petition sheets and 10000
cards indorslng the Justice for the nomination
Nor is this organization proceeding without
! first having come to an understanding with the
! Justice himself. The Tribune Is in a position
to say that Justice Gaynor has told the COM
mittee in as plain language as he ever uses when
speakirg OF himself in connection with nomi-

! ton he will consent 20 run

! persons present prevailed with the idea that II

! the bosses would select some other man than
! their man. So, finally Rufus l.. Scott James =.
