William ]. GaynOr. addressing meet
ing last night under the auspices OF the
Democracy OF The Bronx. IN Niblo's
Garden, said that he could not and would
not remain in Office as Mayor II there
was hostile Board OF Estimate and Ap-
pOrtionment. He was dramatic about Il.
but the audience OF two thousand persons
evidently did not take the announcement
seriously. He led up to the remark with
praises OF Moore and Calvin. the Tam
many candidates respectively for Con-
trOIler and President of the Board Of Al
dermen. II the Mayor and these two Of
ficials. he said. stood together they would
control the board all the time. Then.
with both arms extended. he exclaimed:
Just think of electing me. II you will.
and then surrounding me with hostile
Board of Estimate, Why, you would
y fret me to death. could not stay. there
and would not stay there"
long before this the candidate ex-
-Iafned how, in his belief he was drawn
into accepting the nomination inch by
inch. until he had got in so deep that no
could not refuse. But when he took the
brief from the Democratic conventiOsi,
said Mr. GaynOr. Hearst declared thst
it had contaminated the former justice.
while. in fact. Hearst vas itching for il
all the time He retOld the story Of Tie
episode at the Hotel Manhattan. and
again charged the Civic Alliance can1i-
date with having made an effors to buy
the Democratic nomination for Presi-
dent
Reverting To his own nomination. ne
said it was rough to have Hearst say
he was unfit because the great Demo-
cratic convention of the city had nOTni-
mated him. after his record for good gov
ernment lie told of the petitions for his
nomination. and said he had TO :un
anyway; that if THE dicken MS had nomi-
mated him it would have been nothing
to him so long as he got the nomination.
THE FERRY SALE AGAIN
The whole story of the sale of the 39th
street ferry was gone over again. The
candidate declared he would take caro-
that the night workers had better trans
portation facilities in the way Of more
frequent trains He said THAI the Hearst
newspapers were responsible for the
bankruptcy stories about the city, and
that public officials had been led To
unite in these stories, the chief fiscal
officer with the rest
Ex-NayOr Low as held up as an ex-
ample that the Tammany candidate
would not follow Mr. Low. Mr.. GaynOr
said. sat at his desk in the city Hall and
looked pretty. Mr. GaynOr didn't pro-
pose to sit at his desk inactive. and he
couldn't look pretty If he tried, and at
this there were cheers
You'll look pretty on November g.
some one cried. and the laughter
drowned the applause.
There was another reason why he
wanted a friendly Board of Estimate.
He was afraid that without one he would
lose his reputation. but he wasn't sure
he had any left after the way he had
been pounded. and declared that hs
would not answer every little whelp thaE
was barking at his heels until after cleo
ton There was plenty of noise. and
the cheers were rousiEg AT times
At Cooper Union there were l.6lO
cheering German Americans awaiting
the Tammauy candidate. Before he ap-
peared Alphonse c. KOelble. the chair
man declared that Hearst did more to
corrupt the city with his newspapers
than all the red light" districts put to-
getEer- There were u lot of Hearst men
in the audience and they almost raised
a riot. but were hOwIed downt When
KoeIble spoke of writers hired 10 puH
the Civic Alliance candidate there were
mere Hearst cries. and these were an
svered with cries Of How much are you
raid 10 interrupJ the meeting 1t looked
at one time as If the police would
have work 70 do.
