MIR. MYERS HOME TO-MORROW.
Political Friends Believe He VIII
Yet Run for Mayor

\ et run Tor mayor.
MIR. Herman Myers is expected back
from New York tomorrow morning. From
then until he gives his final decision in
regard to entering the mayoralty race ne
is apt not to find time tagging supernuous
on his hands.
Mr.. Myers had made up his mind not to
run for Mayor. That Is settled beyond
question Of doubt. When he left for New
York it was so recognized by those closest
TO him. A meeting or two Of some of the
leaders of those in opposition TO the admin
istration was held this week and il was
decided not to accept Mr.. Myers refusal
as final. Efforts were made to commune
cate with him in New York. and when
he gets back there viii be much informa-
ton ready 10 be delivered TO him. which
1t Is hoped by those interested will induce
him to change his views and consent to
try third time for the mayoralty.
During the past week a committee has
been at work quietly feeling pulses an
over the city and getting at the lay OF the
land. A friend of Mr.. Myers stated YES
terday that the reports showed that there
was every reason TO believe that If no
would run he would be elected. Others
who want him to become a candidate ex
pressed themselves similarly There Is
no doubt that when Mr.. Myers gets home
there viii be plenty of such reports. But
that does not necessarily mean that he win
consent to run. He is averse TO going into
the fight for business reasons, and even IL
he believed his election were assured there
Is doubt. his friends say, whether ne
would contest for the office.
1t was the impression yesterday that
Mr. Myers would be asked 60 take The
matter under consideration again ana give
his decision next Thursday or FRIDAY II
he should decide to run this would give
eleven days for the campaign, the cleo
ton being on the fourth Tuesday in. the
month, Jan. "a
The friends of Mr.. McDonough heliavs
that he cannot be defeated by Mr. MYERS
or any one Else.

Mrs. Silva and Mrs. GugeI Entertain
ed at Their studio.
The threatening weather of last night in
terfered with the attendance at the first
of the Evenings of reading and song
given by Mrs. May Lucia Silva and Mrs.
Loula Porter Gugel, but there was moth
ing to interfere with or detract from the
pleasure of those who braved the predic-
tons of a storm to be present. In every
sense, the evening was charmingly spent,
and those who attended feel a keen delight
in the knowledge that there are yet three
more evenings"
1t was al the studio of vocal and dra-
matte art of Mrs. Silva and Mrs. Gugel
on Perry street that the former sang sew
eral translations from the French COM
posers and the latter read with charming
grace and expression three scenes from TIE
play now attracting such wide notice,
s"Cyrano de Bergerac." Mrs. Gugel also
read a short sketch of the life and works
of the author, Edmund Rostand, and told
the story of the play. These, with several
songs by Mrs. Silva, made up the pleas
ing programme.
There is a charm about the reading and
Evolutionary gifts of Mrs. Gugel that win
at once. From the first she had the in
terest of her audience, and this was SuS-
tanned throughout her admirable presenta-
ton of the characters appearing in those
extracts of the play she read. Her transit
ton from part 10 part was easy and
ready, and her capital rendition won mer-
tied applause.
Mrs. Sllva's singing is always appreciat-
ed. so that the appreciation shown last
evening came as a matter of course To
the brilliant accompaniment of Mrs *.
n. Wilson on a grand piano. she sang the
following selections:"O'er the Fresh Green
Fields" Chamnade; The Silver Ring
and Were Gard ner'' Chamnade; My
Heart al Thy Sweet Voice" St Saens;
"Gavotte" from "Mignon'O, Thomas and
several encores.
