SON DISCUSSES
MAYORS SHOOTING
Says lie Could Not Bear the
Sight of Gallagher.

New York. Aug. lS.-'T haven't seen
Gallagher. / don't want TO see him.
am afraid TO see him. don't know
what l would do if l should see him."
This was what Rufus Gaynor. the
young son of Mayor Gaynor. said at st.
Mary's Hospital Hoboken, when ne was
asked to-day what he knew about the
man who had tried TO kill his father.
The young man seemed to mean 1t. He
has a good deal Of the character and de-
termination OF his father with the fire
Of youth added TO urge him on. So those
who heard him make the statement
thought it was just as well that he did
net-take a look at the assassin.
What do you think Of Gallaghers
sanity?' he was asked.
The man seems 10 be insane" was
the answer.
Then he was asked where his father
would be taken for his convalescence in
ease he improved 30 much that he could
be removed TO a quieter place.
We'll, we won't take him 10 St James. -
he answered. I'VE have made arrange
ments 10 remove him to a camp in the
AdirOndacks, a camp that has been offered
to him
Il am sorry that father didn't have a
bodyguard when he went on the liner, 4"
continued the young man Hereafter he
must have a guard whether he wants
one or not. 1 shall 90 to Police Com
missioner Baker and insist on this.
When he started of he was tired and
weary from work His face was pale
and he needed rest. But he has better
color now than before he was shot The
rest here has done him much good
lie remarked that he would not be a
witness at the trial of Gallagher. because
he had not seen the shooting. and he vol
unteered the statement that his father
would not be a witness. But whether or
not there has been a decision on this
latter point is doubtful Secretary Adam
son yesterday told the newspaper men
that the name Of the assassin had not
even been mentioned 20 the mayor.
II was on the other side of the steam
ship when I heard the Shots" said the
young man. when 1 ran around I heard
Commissioner Edwards say TO Ralph
Bloomer, Push HIS face around: he is bit
ing me- But didn't get look al
Gallagher, Nor do I want to see him.

BULLET TO REMAIN
In GAYNOR'S NECK
Operation Deemed Needless
in View of Rally.

New York, Aug. 19-Physicians at
tending Mayor Gaynor. at St Mary's
Hospital. Hoboken. said to-day that he
was stronger than he had been at any
time since he was shot down last Tues
day morning. and that every symptom
was one charactistic Of unbroken prog
ress toward recovery.
Robert Adamson. the mayors private
secretary. said that the mayor had suf-
fered to-day, as on Friday. with dry,
racl1ing cough The attending physicians
had been having constant recourse 10 the
use Of the benzoin atomizer TO relieve this
cough. Mr. Adamson added.
The mayors cough has improved 100
per cent since yesterday" said Dr. w J..
Arlitz. 1T was due to the irritation in
his throat, caused by the wound II had
no special significance"
one statement Adamson made to-day
has a significant bearing on the question
Of the location Of the bullet in the
mayors throat. and the absence OF neces-
sity for an operation at the present time.
Quoting one Of the three specialists who
are daily in consultation on the mayor s
case. Mr.. Adamson said:
This gentleman gave it as his opinion
that the age Of miracles has not passed.
at least, not In surgery. Not once in 500
times. he said. could a bullet have en-
tered the neck where It did in this case
and lodged where it did. having missed
all Of the vital and dangerous spots The
course OF the bullet which tore through
Mayor GaynOr's neck was little less
than providentiaL'
The physicians reiterated to-day their
opinion that there was no immediate
necessity Of an operation for the removal
Of the bullet from the vault of the
pharynx. They said that to perform such
an operation now, simple as It might be
comparatively. would be but a useless
aggravation OF the mayors condition. Nc
time has been set for an operation. they
added. and at the present this move was
not under consideration.
No chances of a delay in operating II
an immediate necessity should arise are
allowed to he present in the physicians
hospital arrangements.

numerous flights around Nancy under
service conditions: that is. with a lockout
