ing word that the patient had passed a
good night and that no untoward symp-
toms had developed.
An encourag iug symptom displayed
by the stricken executive was the de-
velopment OF a pronounced appetite.
The nourishment mentioned in the Off
cial bulletin was chicken broth, which
the mayor took about IT'S o'clock. The
mayors secretary. Robert Adamson,
who was with his chief at the time,
said hat the mayor relished greatly
the limited quantity of the broth
which the doctors allowed him. saying
that it tasted fine.
81 Am Hungry, Says Mayor.
Il am going to have more of that
later, because 1 am hungry" the
mayor confidently told his secretary.

will remain until the bullet is removed.
There is also the danger, it was in
dicated by those who had watched the
case closely. that the shot from Cal
lagher's revolver had passed so close
TO an artery that hemorrhages might
be brought on from attenuated artery

attack of hemorrhage since yesterday.

A consultation today viii determine
whether it is necessary TO perform an
operation to remove the two fragments
Of the bullet which stin remain lodged
in the neck. The wound itself IS nor

are giving their chief attention to over
