Mr., McClatchey's friends were loyal

did finally win out.
There were over two thousand del

McClatcheys friends tried to get him
to enter the race year ago at the

tion in purchasing the fowl. On reacn-
ing home. she placed it at once in the
ice chest. When the poultry was
taken out of the ice chest to be cooked
for supper. both Mrs. Warren and
Mrs. Zebley noticed that it had turn
ed a rather peculiar blush color, but
they thought nothing of it. At supper,
the whole family noticed that there
was a peculiar taste about the chicken
meat and spoke of it.
Shortly afterwards. all four of the
family. all of whom had eaten the
chicken. became seized with violent
pains, ga became very i'll. They sent
for DR.. H. A. Cleaver, who reached
the house in a few minutes and pro-
nounced it ptomaine poisoning.
Mrs. Warren was the least affected.
Though none of the family was kept

naming members felt the effects Of

NAME GAYNOR
FOR GOVERNOR?
New York Democrats Think
the Mayor Would Sweep
the State
MIGHT FUT HEARST
MACHINE OUT OF BUSINESS

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22-That Mayor
William j. Gaynor will be nominated
by the Democratic State convention
at Rochester next week as its
gubernatorial candidate and that he
will be bitterly opposed by the Hearst
followers, was the openly expressed
opinion of well informed Democrats
here to-day Gaynor is the personal
choice OF Chairman OF the State Com
mittee Dix, who left here to-day for
Albany and he has privately assured
his friends that the New York Mayor
would sweep the State if named, and
that in doing so. he would put out
of existence the Hearst machine,
which has menaced the party success
in the past.
Leader Murphy of Tammany Hall
does not want Gaynor nominated for
governor He would prefer that some
of the other candidates be named,
inasmuch as he realizes the candidacy
of Gaynor will spell trouble for Tam
many in its local fights here with
Hearst opposing the Democratic
ticket simply because Gaynor heads
it.
Just what Hearst will do is the big
problem among the Democrats to-day.
In his newspaper to-day he bitterly
assails New Yorks mayor for his re-
cent letter TO his sister in which
Gaynor accuses the Hearst papers of
printing lies and ISLANDERS" and of
being responsible for his attempted
| assassination.
If Roosevelt controls the State con-
vention at Saratoga and names a
progressive ticket, it is believed that
Hearst might support the Republi-
can ticket and throw his influence
/ towards its. election. If not, and
Gaynor is the Democratic nominee
Hearst is expected to put a complete
State ticket in the field and do every,
thing possible to defeat Gaynor.

REM -ERED PENNILESS

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The respons-
ibility for the shameless looting Of the
Metropolitan Street Railway for the
benefit of rapacious politicians of both
parties may be placed. Attorneys for
the hundreds of stockholders who
bought the securities at a high mar
ket price only to see their values
crumble almost over night, are fol-
lowing the developments of the pres
ent legislative investigation with con-
Germ and interest. The revelations Of
the manner in which enormous sums
Of money were thrown away and the
stockholders literally robbed has not
only amazed business circles here.
but there is a growing disposition
manifest to see If the directors and
officers cannot be held personally re-
sponsible.
Stocks and bonds of the Metropoli-
tan were utilized as investments for
trust funds of widows and orphans.
Many OF these were rendered penniless
ceiyer's hands. There was a perfume
tory investigation made by the GRIM
inal authorities of the country but no
one was held responsible and there
was no criminal prosecution, the then
district attorney, William Travers Je-
rome, claiming he was unable to Sc
cure evidence sufficient TO convict of
looting.

The legislative investigating COM
mittee has developed through H. H.
Vreeland, who was for years president
Of the Metropolitan, that it made vast
contributions to both political parties
and that it took up the stock holdings
Of politicians at a figure where they
made a substantial profit, no matter

SICK HORSE RAN TO THE
HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT

furniture company.
Twas the Same Horse.
After attending to the horse Dr.
Mahaffy proceeded to Ninth and King
streets and on his arrival at the
stables, there learned from Hayes that
the sick horse had broken away while
he was telephoning and he was at
loss to know where It was.
What kind of horse was II" ask
ed the veterinarian, and when given
description of the animal he re-
marked why, / just treated that
horse i'm my stables" Hayes could
hardly believe his ears and he is prob
ably still wondering of the strange
ness of the affair
Hayes was making his rounds of the
furniture store shortly after o'clock
this morning when he heard a noise
I'm the stable in the rear of the build
ing. He found the horse in question
quite i'll and leading it to the yard
hitched it to a post He then re-
turned to the store part of the build
ing to telephone for DR.. Mahaffy, and
when he got back the animal had
gone, having broken a one-inch strap
in order to make its escape.
Never Heard the Like.
Il continued right out Ninth street
and at Jackson street, seeing DR.. Ma
haffy's horse, turned in that thorough.
fare where it espied the open gate
leading to DR. Mahaffy's hospital, and
passed through it, falling to the
ground on reaching the inside.
DR. Mahaffy said to-day that had
the horse been five minutes later he
could have done nothing to save it.
He said it was the first instance he
ever heard of horse going to the
doctor for treatment.
A strange part about the affair is
that the horse was never at DR.. Ma
haffy's hospital before for treatment
nor had 1t ever been stabbed in the
locality of Ninth aud Jackson streets.
This horse tale beats any of the
nature fakir" tales of the year, and
is vouched for as true by the different
persons concerned.
