NEW YORK, Aug. 1O.-A bulletin at
seven O'clock to-day rsaid Mayor
Gaynor had rested comfortably since
fye o'clock. He has taken nourish.
ment and at the present time his con-
dltion in the opinion OF the attending
physicians Is satisfactory. The five
O'clock bulletin was encouraging. Sec
retary Robert Adamson said the mayor
slept three hours last night and par
took freely of chicken broth this
morning. He seemed stronger after
he had eaten the broth. His wife
spent the night at the hospital. She
entered the mayors room at seven
4 o'clock and spent half hour. Her visit
seemed to cheer the mayor and he
talked freely.
Unless Infection is shown sley will
not operate on Gaynor to remove the
split bullet according to an agreement
OF doctors to-day following a second
inspection with X.ray plates. 1t is re-
garded as remarkable that the pieces
of lead landed where they did without
seyering important blood vessels. Re-
moyal OF the lead means the loss OF
blood and weakening the patient.
Physicians met at noon and discussed
the plan OF treatment. The physicians
agree that the patients condition is
satisfactory but he isn't out of danger.
His wife and nurses being constantly
present, the mayor joked feebly. He
4 Is hungry and occasionally suggest
TSed to the nurses to bring him real
solid food. He declares coffee and
broth an unsatisfactory breakfast for
a ayigorous man. Occasionally 1t seems
difficult for him to breathe. The ply
sicians say that is due TO the bullet
causing a slight irritation. His tenn
perature is one and one quarter de-
grees above. normal. but showing no
infection. Adamson says as. soon as
the doctors will permit he will take
Gaynor to his camp In the Adiron-
dacks to recover. With exception of
cars, traffic in the street in front
of the hospital has been stopped by
order OF the police. Motormen are in.
4 strncted to run slowly and not sound
slbells. Most Of the city officials called
Y at the hospital to-day and left carus.
They were not allowed to see the
mayor.
Hundreds OF messages OF condo
lence denouncing the crime have been
received. Gallagher is confined in the
Jersey City jail. officials say it is be.
lleved he is about TO break down.
Warden Sullivan said from his ap-
pearanea Gallagher had been drinking
and the sudden stoppage or stimu-
lants had bad effect on him.
The mayors brother Thomas. OF
Springfield, Ohio, arrived at the hos
pitaI at eleven. Later his daushter,
Mrs. yiiigut, and the mayors sou,
Norman. arrived. The doctors said
the patient was sleeping and they
were mot allowed to visit the room.
Gallagher spent wakeful night. He
tossed onsthe cot and paced his cell.
muttering. After light breakfast he
sat down with his head between his
hands. He complained of the con-
! tusions on his face and body which
Edwards administered following the
shooting. A doctor sent him medi-
cine.
