DIR. Dowd said to-day that arrange

from apprehension that the bullet

Two samples of Mayor Gaynor's
blood will be taken for examination
daily from now ON. So far the tests
have shown no evidences OF Infection.
Danger from this source is greater
just now. and IL Is because OF this fact
that an operating surgeon will be
held within call for week at least.
The mayor has difficulty In swai-

this is to be expected. and that he
is doing fine.
