wounded at 9:45 o'clock this morning
as he stood on the deck Of the steamer
Kaiser Wilhelm DerGrosse, at the pier
| at Hoboken, N. j., about to start on
months vacation in Europe. The
shooting was done by a man who later
gave his name as James j. Gallagher
of New York. He was later identified
as former city employe who was dis
| charged for various transgressions.
Since his discharge he has been writ
ing letters to the mayor. Three shots
| were fired at the mayor. Two missed
| and the third lodged in the fleshy por-
ton of the left side Of the neck. Blood
| gushed from the wound and the first

the mayor was taken to the hospital

The Attempted Assassination.
The mayor boarded the steamer, &C.

gathered on the upper deck and there

! about the deck. The mayors party
was just about to have picture taken
when suddenly a stranger pushed
through the throng from the rear. He
approached the mayor and without a
word began to fire. Gaynor fell to the
deck, blood gushing from the wound
in his neck At the same moment a
ships guard sprang forward and dealt
ho wit h
a billy, telling him to the deck where
officers quickly seized him. He was
taken at once to the police headquar-
tiers. There he gave the name OF Gal

to why he had committed the deed re-
piled sullenly: Gle kept me from
