New York, Jan. Mayor Gaynor
gave out tonight his list or appoints
ments so far as he was able to make
them and an account Of his relations
with Charles +. Murphy. leader Of
Tammany hall
When Mayor Gaynor was seen las.
evening he was found in his home Ii
brary deep in the perusal Of little
book called Wisdom Of Benjamin
Franklin" When asked II the politi-
cal leaders had been consulted in

Of justice which l should do. I was
nominated without even a suggestion
being made as to what / should do a.
mayor. Since election Mr. Charles r
Murphy has called on me three times
each time asking me to appoint tn
best men to be found. His sugSes-
tions We're few: he urged nothing ana
kept saying to me that the responsi-
bility was solely with me.

and ciergymen who are writing To me
about Charles F. Murphy and what
they call the white slave traffic TO go
up and see him and say kind Mora
to him. They may be surprised.
