Those who believed Mayor Gaynor's ma
tlonal strength would depend greatly upon
the success OF his campaign for governor
Of New York received a shock yesterday
when j. Edward Swamstrom. former
borough president Of Brooklyn and warm
personal friend of the mayor announced
that William j. Gaynor would not enter
the race in New York state next fall. Mr..
Swamstrom sailed for Europe today and
