terday had almost completely recov-
cred from his cold. He will go to
London Tuesday, and sail for America
October 10. Jeffries says he is most
anxious for the fight with Johnson,
but that nothing definitely is settled.
He is disappointed at the offer OF
$4,000 for the fight, saying: Il am
champion of the world. I have every
thing to lose and nothing to gain.
Therefore, don't want to fight for a
purse of less than $150,000. That is
the sum first proposed, but since
began training, my adversaries ap-
pear less keen. | believe, however,
will make the match as soon as
reach New York l would rather fight
in America than Australia and believe
that the governors of several states
would be willing to allow the fight.

TAMMANY NAMES
JUDGE GAYNOR
AS CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR OF
GOTHAM-JEROME NOT
ENDORSED.

New York, Oct. 1.-Justice William
Jay Gaynor, of the New York state
supreme court, last night was unani-
mously nominated for mayor by the
democratic city convention. Of the
1879 delegates, Tammany controlled
almost the entire representation OF
Manhattan and the Bronx, mastering
918 votes and easily Over-rode the
opposition faction headed by Senator
McCarren of Brooklyn, who hoped
to secure the denomination OF Comp
troller Metz. The convention nom1-
mated Comptroller Robert M Moore,
president of the Commercial Trust
company.
The platform denounced the recent
tariff legislation and objects to any
interference in local affairs by the
state legislature. 1t also advocates
municipal ownership and the build
ing of additional subways by the
city. There is no mention of the
retiring administration of Mayor Nc
Clellan.
| A resolution of sympathy with the
family of Governor Johnson was
adopted. The district attorney will
be nominated at separate conven
ion. Jeromes attack on GaynoI
makes it unlikely that his candidacy
for reelection will receive endorse
ment.
