The calling in of Dr. Peck was an
other fact mentioned as showing dis
agreement. Robert Adamson, the
Mayors private secretary, gave the
quietUs to that runor by stating that
as Dr. Brewer was forced to attend

had asked his associate in practice, DR.
Peck. to attend to Mayor Gaynor's case
during his absence.

broth. He asked Secretary Adamson
whether Mrs. Gaynor was awake, and
when she came into the room he told her
he preferred her coffee TO that which was
given him at the hospital. He also added
that he would like to have an egg. Mrs.
Gaynor went out and prepared the cof-
fee and egg as he liked them, and he
ate almost voraciously-

but the attendants did not think it would
be wise to give him more at that time.

spent the whole day with her husband
and gave him another egg later in the
day. No one but the surgeons and his
secretary was admitted throughout the
day.

their regards, he replied: Give them my
regards, too, Bob. Are any Of them
around so early this morning."
