MAYOR GAYNOR'S "BEST DAY,
Physicians Say Alarming Rumors
Concerning Condition Unfounded.

New York, Aug. 17.-Oficially
nothing but good news came from
st. Mary's Hospital Hoboken, today
and tonight concerning the condition
of Mayor Gaynor. According to his
physicians this was his "best day"
since being shot in the neck by James
j. Gallagher last Tuesday. This state
ment was contained in a bulletin both
positive and optimistic, issued at
9.15 o'clock tonight, instead Of at
$50, as heretofore.
There is no foundation for alarm
ing rumors, which have been in cir
culation. If conditions continue az
satisfactory as they are now only
two daily bulletins will be issued here.

to leave st. Mary's Hospital in ten

be surprising If the physicians We're
to release him in a week. His con-
dition today is very encouraging, and
we all look for rapid recovery"
Father and son discussed briefly
today the incident of the shooting,
but the mayor carefully refrained
from asking the name Of his assail +.
ant or his motive. He explained the
circumstances OF the affair as he
hazily remembered them, and re-
marked that at no time did he lose
consciousness.
RumOr UnfOundcd.
Detectives are carefully investigat-

tool of others who sought to take the
mayors life, but so far not a shred Of
evidence to support this has been
found Gallagher reiterated that he
acted entirely alone, because he
thought he was the object Of perse-

In Columbia there had been organ

the anti-whiskey laws.
The Anti-saloon league was not
then in existence in this State.
The Law and Order leagues re-
ferred to were local organizations.
I thought they We're good organiza-
tions and ought to be encouraged,
and / offered a resolution indorsing
them. I did not offer a resolution to
the effect that Hereafter all Of the
work of the prohibitionists be done
through the Law and Order league"

reason that the law and order

Not for License.
The statement made, at the very
last by Mr.. Brunson, that I had, a
few weeks before Joined in a meet

on a prohibition-license platform is
absolutely without foundation. I
have never taken part in any such

all I, ,se who took part in the Hotel
Jerome conference, nor in the fair
week conference. But all those pres
ent at both conferences will recollect
what transpired and 1 call upon them
in the interest of fair dealing to come
out and tell about it,
I also ask, Mr.. Editor, that you give
this as prominent place as you did

No man in South Carolina can say
truthfully that I have ever been un-
