MAYOR GAYNOR TAXES
A TURN FOR WORSE

Hoboken, n. j., Aug. 17.-Several
officers of the New York city govern
ment were called to st. Mary's hos
pital this afternoon where Mayor
Gaynor has been since he was shot
by James J. Gallagher on the deck
of the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse. The fact that Gaynor S
brother has hurriedly returned from
Springfield Ohio, and the summon
ing of the officials has given rise to
rumors that the mayors condition
has suddenly taken a turn for the
worse.
1t is reported that the physicians
are alarmed at the sudden swelling
of the glands in the mayors throat
and that an operation may be neces-
sarv at once,
The doctors say that Gaynor's
condition is unchanged, but reports
from other sources say the physi-
clans themselves consider the case
grave.
Secretary Adamson says there Is
not ground for alarm. A person
familiar with the case from the
start, said this afternoon that the
mayor has been in a critical condi-
zion ever since he was wounded He
is no better now, this man says,
than when he was shot
The physicians do not fear the de-
velopment of any form of ganger-
inc, it is said, but they are alarmed
at the possibility of the bursting of
a bloodvessel.
The hospital authorities denied
that any form of blood poisoning
has set in.

SAYS HUSBAND WAS JEALOUS
AND DROVE HER FROM HOME

Alleging cruel and inhuman
treatment upon the part of her hus-

commenced a suit in the circuit
court to dissolve the bonds of matri-
mony existing between her and Riley
W. Morehead.
She says in her complaint that
they were married July 80, 1908,
and that there was born TO them in
May, 1909, a baby girl, but that her
whereabouts are now unknown, as
the husband took the baby from her
custody on August Is of this year.
Shortly after the marriage she al
leges the husband became insanely
jealous of her, and accused her 4
number of times of being unfaith-
ful. On July Is, 1t is alleged he In
sisted upon her boarding two of his
brothers and q man named Louis
Leach, and she did. At the time he

ROOSEVELT
Is GREATLY
RELIEVED
FEELS THAT THE PEOPLE HAVE
TAKEN ALL THE WEIGHTY RE-
sPONSIBILITY FOR FALL CAM
PAIGN OFF HIS SHOULDERS.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 17.-Col-
onel Theodore Roosevelt today read
with great interest accounts of the
insurgent victory in California.
Though apparently deeply interested
when informed by the United Press
of the victory of Hiram Johnson, in
surgent candidate for the nomination
for governor, he declined to comment
on the situation.
Roosevelt refused also to discuss
the slap at him yesterday by the state
committee when they declined to sub
stitute him for Vice-President Sher-
man as temporary chairman of the
Republican state convention to be
held at Saratoga.
1t is believed that Roosevelt now
feels that the responsibility for the
Fall campaign has been removed from
his shoulders, and that he will take
no part in New York state politics.
He spent the day today working on
magazine articles and speeches.
Roosevelt denied late this after
noon that he would make an areo-
plane flight with Harmon.

then given opportunity to be heard
He defied the delegates to prove
their charges against him and ac-
cused the Illinois miners of viOlat

pumping engineers to go on strike.
This caused another uproar and diff

the men.
Lewis, as a parting shot said:
"If any of you men wish to file
charges against me you will have 80
file them with the proper tribunal
before 7 will recognize them Then
if you prove the case against me
will step down and out"
