Undercurrent of Doubtful Anxiety Running
 Contrary to Official Bulletins
BLOOD EXAMINATION SATISFACTORY.
Disquietino Rumors Meet With Prompt DenialHRe- portei Friction Among Physicians Over Treatment flthe Case-Woud-Ee Assassins Defense Will Ee Insanlty-"Big Bill" Edwards Deluged With Con- gratuations His Eeroism-Many Messages of ympatby for the Mayor.

New York, Aug. 11.-Mayor William J Gaynor may be making satisfactory progress. as his attending physicians persistently maintained today and to- night, but there is an undercurrent of doubtful anxiety tonight that runs con- trary to the official bulletins.
 Opposition to Altitude of Optimism.
 His surgeons say that he had a sat isfactory day, that he is cheerful and stronger and was resting quietly, mofe than holding his own against the pistol shot wound inflicted on Tuesday by James J. Gala gher. As opposed to this attitude of optimism, those who read the 10.30 bulletin thoug ughtfully noted reference to complete radio graphic examinat ion indicating that it was necessary to take a second set of negatives in order accurately to find the position of the bullet. That an additional set of negatives was taken has been reported heretofore but the -umor lacked confirmation.
 The Split Bullet Not Mentioned.
 Nothing is said in the bulletin of the split bullet mentioned as indicated in the first pictures; instead, the lead is now said to be lodged in the roof of the mouth. Whether the other shadow as indicated in the first picture is splinter of bone, none of the physicians would say.
 A sample of the patients blood was examined carefully this evening and pronounced satisfactory, the relation of the white and led corpucles having been found so near normal as to cause no alarm Although rumors are af1oat that his physicians are in disa gree ment- Robert Adamson, his secretary, and E. J. Lederlee, health commission CT of New York, tonight gave out statement discrediting the reports of friction among the medical advisers.
 A Necessary Statement.
 The statement does not deny the re- port specifically, but by implication IS follows:
 The surgeons in attendance on the mayor are Dr. William J. Arlitz. pr. George F. Brewer Dr. George D. Stew art, Dr Charles N. Dowd. During their absence Wednesday afternoon pr. Charles II. Peck attended the ma vor. The mayors family physician-Dr. John " Parrish. also attended him. No other surgeon or physicians have at any time been connected with the case. This statement is necessary because of unfounded reports and statements by those pretending to be connected with the mayors physicians.

THE GROUND WORK
 OF GALLAGHER'S DEFENSE.
pr. Potter, Alienist, Holds Confer
 ence With Wouid-Be Assassin.

New York August 11-Gallagher the would-be assassin. in prison in Jersey City, is beginning to lay the ground work of his defense It will be insanity. His lawyers and Dr. F. $. Potter, an alienist. held a confer ence with him this afternoon. Alex ander Simpson of Jersey City, of counsel for the prisoner, says he has investigated the mans record and finds basis for trace of hereditary insanity When we reached Gaila gher's cell" he said pr Potter pointed his finger at the man and cried: Why did you shoot the may or? Gallagher burst into tears and answered.: had to do so to get justice.''"
 Copies of GalIagher's Letters in Hands
 of Prosecutor.
 The New York authorities placed in the hands of the prosecutor of HuG- son county to-day copies of all the letters Gallagher has written to May or Gaynor and other officials of the city administration While New York will have no direct hand in the trial, whether it be for assault with intent to kill or for murder every effort will be made to provide assistance to the prosecution.
 What His Sentence is Likely to Be.
 If tried merely on the assault charge New ersey lawyers hold that Gallagher is likely to get a sentence tdnIdlnOunt to llTe imprisonment. u >is pointed out that if sentenced for only twelve years he is liable to a. S3,900 fine which can be remitted only by the state board of pardons. As he is pra acticaHy penniless paving the fine seems to be an impossibility and in default of payment he may be Kept in prison just as 1org as the board of pardons deems advisable
 Edwards Heroism.
 Big Bfll' Edwards. formerly Prince tons football idol whose strong arms beat down and almost crushed Gal 1agher after the mayor was shot, was deluged with cable messa ges, tele grams and letters to-day, congratu- lating him on his hardy heroism Most of the communications came from college mates or 0ne-time an- tagonists on the football field. Johnny de Saules. erstWhile star quarterback at Yale, cabled as follows from Paris:
 Yale knows your defense at Prince ton was great Your defense for our country was greater. All Americans abroad congratulate you for saving the life of our next president Messages of Sympathy for the Mayor.
 Messages of sympathy for Mayor those who telegraphed or cabled to- day were William J. Bryan at Lan- caster O.; Andrew Carnegie, in Scot land; Henry B. Quinby, governor of New Hampshire, and from the vice burgomaster> of Carlsbad, Who spoke on behalf of his city.
