JULIA MARLOWE WILL PLAY
HAMLET NEXT SEASON.

NEW YORK, June 12.-Julia Mar
lowe, it is announced, is to play Ham
let next season, following in the foot
steps of Sarah Bernhard, Charlotte
Cushman and other famous actresses
who nave appeared in the character of
the Danish prince.
1t turns out that it has been the am
bition of Miss Marlowe to play his
masculine role for some time. She con-
tends hat no woman's part gives an
actress such chances for dramatic ac-
ton and psychological study. 1t is
said that her conception of the part will
show the spiritual and idealic character
of the prince, who really revolts at the
idea of murder, or even hurting any
one, in spite Of his righteous motives
for revenge.

"Inasmuch as Alderman Bray Tues

Asked for explanation of the last
statement, he said that everybody
was drinking. but that some folks had
large capacities. He would not eluci-
date further.
Night Clerk Cavanaugh, of the city
clerks office, was then called. He tes-
titled to receiving a message for the
printing and stationery committee on
the night of May 4 from the Greisen-
helm, stating that Bray would be late.
He had sent the message up to the
fourth floor. Later that night when
somebody called Bray on the telephone
he had been present.
Congleton-Do you recall what Bray
said?
Cayanaugh-Only Yes, yes, yes; all
right"
The witness said that there had been
several inquiries for Bray by a person
who would leave neither name nor
number. When Bray finally went to
the phone he could not get the person
calling him. and Cavanaugh had taken
the instrument and finally got the man
calling Bray. 1t has been brought out
that the man at the other end was

.GAYNOR GETS NOMINATION IS NOMINATED FOR MAYOR OF NEW YORK BY THE DEMO
 CRATIC PARTY. Makes Mild Assertions Against Mr. 6aynard, the Republican Nominee
 For Mayor, In His
 Speech.

New York, Oct. Injustice William J. Gaynor. today accepted the Demo cratic nomination for mayor of Greater New York. His brief, unsen sational speech in reply to the noti- iicarion committee, served also aus an acceptance of the endorsements of a number of independent and semi-inde- pendent organizations, whose repre- sentatives were present.
 Justice Gaynor's speech contained no attack on Tammany, which had been expected in some quarters. The omission was brought particularly to the public notice through a statement issued earlier in the day by William Randolph Hearst who had declared that he would yield 10 the urging of his friends and run for mayor on an independent ticket unless Justice Gay nor came out with Il denunciation of Tammany
 Many anti-Tammany Democrats have pinned their faith to Justice Gaynor regarding the challenge as one which he would not refuse.
 But there was no denunciation of anybody on MT. Gaynor's speech, ex cept mildly of Mir. Baynard, the Re. publican candidate for mayor, as @ collector of campaign contributions.
 T resign my present office" said MT Gaynor, only to dedicate and de- vote the next four years of my life to the service of the people of New York. Inns great city is made up of every race, belief and way of thinking. Let us live and act together without hos tility, prejudice or uncharitableness.
 MT Hearst, notified officially this afternoon of the intention of his friends to run him as an independent mayorality candidate, said he would give their recommendation his careful consideration and would reply definite ly within 24 hours, either announcing or dlefntely declining to accept

 The aviator said the machine would be ready for service tomorrow.
 In the flights today Curtiss used 8 biplane with a 25horsepower motor. Few people witnessed the first two flights as the morning mist was still undispelled A stiff wind this after noon delayed him until dusk.
 George Fl Dancois Osmont. who is here with the Farman bi-plane. which won the endurance prize at Rheims, attempted three times al dusk to sat- isfy the crowd that lie could fly ffe circled the field several times but net fast enough to enable him to leave the ground. His disappointment was clearly expressed in his face.
 The really successful naydgators qf the air were Roy Knabenshue. Lincoln Beachey and Thomas Baldwin, in dir igibles.a The last made an extended flight when motor trouble overcame him and he was forced to land in the crowd. His second ght, after re- ra.rs had been made. was greeted with great applause.
