MAYOR VIM. ]. GAYNOR
 |S DANGEROUSLY SH0T
DISCHARGED CITY EMPLOYE IS
 UNSUCCESSFUL ASSASSIN.
Bullet Strikes Mayor Behind Ear and Ranges Downward, Splitting
 into Two Parts.

New York-William J. Gaynor, mayor of New York city, was shot in the head and dangerously wounded as he stood on the promenade deck of the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, by James J. Gallagher, a dis charged and disgruntled city em- ploye.
 Gallagher was overpowered and ar rested
 The shot was fired at 9:45 o'clock, fifteen minutes before the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse was due to leave her pier at Hoboken, N. J., and the mayor was receiving godspeed from a group of friends. preparatory to va- cation trip to Europe.
 The bullet struck him behind the right ear and ranged downward, in fiicting a dangerous wound And, un- less blood poison develops, surgeons are hopeful of the mayors recovery, although at his age-59 years-such wound is essentially grave.
 It was stated that it was most re- markable that the pieces of lead could have landed where they did without severing important blood vessels. In order to get them out it would be nee essary to cut in among veins and ar- tories, with the probability of a loss of blood that would weaken the pa- tient. To avoid this, it was agreed that there should be no probing un- less there are outward indications that infection is present in the wound.
 By order of the Hoboken authori- ties, all traffic along the block on Willow avenue occupied by St. Mary's hospital has been shut off, with the exception of trolley cars. Motormen on these have been ordered not to sound their bells or run fast in the vicinity of the structure. A detail of police kept the crowd back, and everything possible is being done to insure quiet for the wounded man.

 With StorekeepeT, 1t Is Said.
