New York. Aug 10 There Is no a.
tempt. on the part OF the physicians
attending Mayor GayDor to minimize
the seriousness of their patients
wound. The six X-ray negatives TAX
en- yesterday showed that the bullet
fired by Gnliaeher had been split in
two by Impact with the jawboue and
that therefore, there will be in the
immediate future two distinct danger
points that will have to be watched
for bloodpoisoning The larger frags
ment lies beneath the floor Of the
mouth on the left side. The other
lies near the entrance point OF the
bullet, behind the right ear.
The mayors suflcrings thus far
have been slight He has not been
unconscious at any time and Is allow.
ed to talk all he cares 10. He is not
likely TO overdo his privileges in this
respect however for. according to the
attendants, he realizes that he may
have to pat up a good fight for recov-
cry and is content to husband his
strength
In a talk with DR.. William Arlitz
early today, after sound sleep of
about four hours. the mayor spoke Of
the many pleasant outings he had had
in the Maine and Quebec woods and
said that his unexpected decision to
go to Europe rather than TO his old
hunting grounds in the north this year
had led to this trouble.
II had anticipated much pleasure
from this vacation. said the mayor
This whole thing is all wrong
have only tried TO do my duty This
strife and responsibility were forced
upon me and this Is what has come of
it,"
Mr. Adamson the mayors secre-
tary. came to the bedside and the
mayor asked II there were any news
paper men about. When told that
there were some forty men in attend
ance below and great throng of Ho-
boken residents gathered outside. he
expressed surprise that the matter had
attracted so much attention.
Il think YOU had better stick to the
Office" he told his secretary There
will be a lot of work TO do over there
Good Health in His Favor.
The fine condition o. the mayor is
expected to be of material aid to ma
ture and the surgeons in their fight
for recovery The most optimistic
words which those attending him ut
ter arc that their hopes that the
vigorous constitution which the may
or has retained by reason Of his out
door life and his fondness for walk
ing, will enable him 70 make a speedy
convalescence
There must be little time OF wait
ing for developments. said Professor
Simon Baruch Of the College of Ply
siclans and Surgeons. Unless com
pllcatioDS set in. the mayors chances
Of recovery are. OF course, good \
rifle bullet in the same place might
have done great damage. This bullet
seems to have been small one and
it did not touch any important veins
or arteries.
THE mayors vigorous constitution,
his habit of walking to the city hall
from his home In Brooklyn, his out
door life are great advantages. The
bullet is lodged in muscular structures
from which Ii ought TO be possible to
extract it with little danger"
