NEW YORK, Aug. 1O-The condi-
ton of Mayor Gaynor continues to
be a source of great anxiety today.
The first bulletin of the day was
hopeful in tone indicating the patti
ent was resting comfortably and
taking occasional nourishment, but
the doctors had not yet pronounced
the mayor out of danger. A consul
Etation today will determine whether
1t will be necessary to perform an
operation to remove the fragments
of bullet, which still remain lodged
in the neck. The wound itself is not
causing serious trouble, but the doc
tors are giving their chief attention
to overcoming the dangers possible
from infection arising from the
Ipresence of foreign matter developed
in the bullet.
Condition Satisfactory.
The mayor remains calm and is
comparatively cheerful. A bulletin
issued at 1880 o'clock said the may
Tor had rested comfortably since 5
O'Clock. He was taking nourish-
ment and at that hour his condition
in the opinion of the attending
physicians was satisfactorily. This
formal bulletin was preceded by an
informal statement by DR.. William
Artlis who left the mayors bedside
at 6 O'Clock, that the patient had
passed a good night and no unto
ward symptoms had developed. An
encouraging symptom displayed by
the stricken executive was the devel-
oDment of a pronounced appetite.
Mrs. Gaynor and son, Rufus, spent
the night near the mayors bedside.
Gallagher, the would-be assassin,
was carefully guarded in cell in
the Hudson county, Jersey city, jail,
all night to prevent his making any
, possible attempt at self-destruction.
Gallagher shows no remorse for the
attempt on the life of caynor, in
fact, he seems to regard himself as
a hero, n sgsEH
No Operation.
At a consultation the physicians
decided that no operation for the re.
moval of the two fragments of bull
let was necessary at this time. The
following bulletin was issued: III
a. m. the mayor continues to dc

the surgeons that no operation IL
