Doctors Are Cheerful.
The official bulletin was informally
supplemented by DIR. Steward, who re-
mained all night at the mayors bed
Side. DR.. Stewart reported that the
mayor awoke this morning at his usual
hour, and appeared refreshed by the
comfortable sleep he had been able tc
secure during the greater part OF the
1 night. MOI III unldFOidpiC SyhiPtSAi
had developed.
DR.. Arlitz retired before midnight fol
a few hours rest after his long vigil
and was at the hospital bright ant
early his morning. He went over thu
mayors condition with DR.. Stewart
and Joined the latter in the issuance O.
the morning bulletin. DR.. Arlitz wa;
very cheerful.
This is the best bulletin yet" he
said as the statement was handed out
1t was noted that for the first tims
the official bulletin gave those details
concerning the patients condition
which hitherto have been merely In
formally stated or the subject Of un
verified reports. It was learned tha'
the chief efforts of the physicians al
day yesterday were to keep down thu
mayors temperature, n the fact ha
this morning 1t was officially an,
nounced that the thermometer reading
showed only 100 1-5 degrees approx
mately, the same as yesterday, seemed
TO indicate they had been successful.
1t was generally conceded, however
that today was likely to be an import.
ant one in the history Of Mayor Gay
nor's case. Perhaps the chief fear o.
his medical attendants has been thai
blood ~~nisoning might develop. The
end OF the two-day period commonly
allowed for the appearance OF such in
lection comes today.
The two sections of the bullet fired
by Gallagher, the discharged dock en-
piove, remain embedded in the mayors
neck and throat. The possibility OF
danger from these fragments grow less
with each day. If the infection period
be safely passed practically the sole
apprehension Of the medical men will
be from the possibility that one OF
these fragments lies so near an AFTER
ial surface that dangerous hemor-
rhages may result. Such q rupture
might come without warning.
Near the mayors bedside through
! the night were Mrs. Gaynor. the son,
Rufus, Mrs. Vingut, daughter, and
Secretary Robert Adamson. DIR. Stew
art was the physician In charge.
Grand Jury Discharged.
Jersey City, ". j., Aug. 13.-Chiet
Justice Swayze today discharged the
special Hudson county grand jury on
the attempt to assassinate Mayor
Gaynor. He practically told the jury
that it would be unwisce at this time
to take up the matter with the idea
of indicting Gallagher for the reason
that the whole matter hinged on tho
condition Of the mayor.
