JUDGE GAYNoR ACCEPTS
DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION
For Mayor of Greater New York.
Mild Acceptance Speech.

New York. Oct. 7.-Justice William
]. Gaynor today accepted, the demo-
cratic nomination for mayor of Great
er New York. Hhis brief unsensati6n-
al speech IN reply to the notification
committee served also as an acceptance
of the endorsement of a number of in
dependent and semi-independent or
eanizations whose representatives were
present
Justice Gaynor's speech contained
no attack on Tammany Hall, which
had been expected in some quarters.
The omission WAS brought particularly
to the public notice by a statement
issued earlier in the day by William
Randolph Hearst, who declared that
he would yield to the urging of his
friends and run for mayor on on in
dependent ticket unless Justice Gaynor
came out with denuncistion of Tam
many. Many anti-Tammany demo-
Gratis who have pinned their faith to
Justice Gay1or regarded this challenge
as one which he would not refuse.
But there is no denunciation ofany-
body in Mr.. Gaynor's speech except
mildly of Mr.. Barnard, the republican
candidate. as a collector of campaign
contributions.

lPEARY's MEN SIGHTSEEING
IN AND ABOUT NEW YORK
Many Discoveries Made in American
Museum of Natural History.

New York, Oct. AFTER months
within the Arctic circle the members
of Commander Robert z. Peary's polar
expedition spent today exploring the
vicinity of latitude 40 degrees and As
minutes north and longitude "A west.
They made many discoveries in and
about New York, for few of them had
even been sight seeing before in a
large city.
They found that it was not alone
in the frigid north that the reindeer,
the muskox. the polar bear and other
Arctic fauna might be seen. With but
few exceptions they found all in New
York, at the American Museum of
Natural History With something of
the same amusement that a farmer
finds in a rural play, the explorers
gazed at the stuffed mammals of the
north set in glass cases amid irnita
ton snow and ice. They found the
haunts OF the Eskimo pictured, relics
of many an expedition less fortunate
than theirs, and the bones of animals
reputed to have frequented glacial re-
gions centurieE ago.
At the American Museum of Natur-
al Histor tomorrow the sledge which
Commander Peary used in the dash
to the pole, and other exhibits of the
journey, will be placed on view. An
fentire wing of the museum has been,
turned into "Peary section" and
more than six hundred specimens are
shown
