bed and got to the other side before Luke
could get near enough to assist him. and
he felt quite proud OF his feat He ehaffed
Luke about failing to look closely enough
after his patient, and seemed not to have
suffered any evil results of his escapade.
Bulletin Only at Night.
DR.. George D. Stewart, who spent Satur-
day night at the hospital, left there early
in the forenoon and DR.. William j. Arlitz
was the only one of his attendants who
remained within call throughout the day.
Dr.. Charles n. Dowd went over in the even
ing and relieved DR.. Aritz.
There was no formal conference among
the physicians, as there has been every day
since the Mayor was shot by Gallagher on
board the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse on
August 9. No bulletin was issued during
the day, but at o'clock last night the fol-
lowing bulletin was handed out by Robert
Adamson, the Mayors secretary:
''9 p. m-Mayor Gaynor is steadily gain
ing in strength. He sat up part of the day
has walked few steps. has enjoyed read
ing, and this evening is in excellent condi-
ton.
WILLIAM J. ARLITZ, NJ. d.
CHARLES n. DOWD, NJ. d.
Mr.. Adamson had the longest respite
from active attendance yesterday of any
that has fallen to his lot since the Mayor
was wounded. He left the hospital shortly
before o'clock and went home to visit his
wife. and went for d drive with her, return
ing to the hospital about $50 p. m. City
Chamberlain Hyde was the only visitor
who saw the Mayor yesterday
Mayor Enjoyed His Steak.
When he handed out the bulletin at
O clock NJ. Adamson remarked that it had
been prepared some hours earlier. DR. Ar
litz had left the hospital by that time. and
the Mayor, after getting his dinner, had
gone to bed and sleeping peacefully
He had enjoyed his sitting up, Secretary
Adamson said, and had insisted on remain
ing at the window for an hour in the after
noon. He was in a cheerful mood all day,
and seemed to enjoy his steak and potatoes
at midday. The difficulty which he eX-
perenced in wall owing has entirely disap-
peared and the coughing no longer troubles
him.
The Mayors voice has not recovered its
usual tone, however. said Mr.. Adamson.
He added that Mr.. Gaynor speaks distinctly
enough, but in very low tone. In fact,
his secretary said his voice seemed to have
lost in volume since the first days he was
in the hospital The surgeons assert, how
ever that he will recover his natural voice
in {, short time.
Secretary Adamson had expected to tell
the Mayor the whole story of the shooting
yesterday. but Mr.. Gaynor showed no in
terest in the matter at all. SO nothing was
said to him about it. He has never asked
about his assailant nor has he asked who
prevented the would-be murderer from
completing his work. He does not know
vet that Commissioner Edwards also was
wounded.
No Decision About Bullet.
The surgeons have not yet decided
whether to operate before the Mayor leaves
the hospital OF wait until he has rested and
recovered his full strength. The bullet,
they say, is in such a position that it does
not interfere with him in any way. and
there is no reason why it may not remain
where it is for years, but they expect to
remove it within a short time, probably on
his return to the city after recuperating
for a few weeks in the country, either at
his farm in ST James, Long Island or In
the AdirondackS.
While the Mayor himself would seem by
his conversation to think that his ST. James
home would be a good place to which TO
go on leaving the hospital. the surgeons
seem to incline to the view that the Ad-
James his neighbors would all call to see
him, and the visits of many people would
cause him to fatigue himself talking. 1t
is therefore more than likely that when
