New York, Aug. 10.-The following
bulletin on the condition of William
Gaynor, who was shot and dangerous
ly wounded yesterday by James J.
Gallagher on board the steamer
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, was is
sued at 1880 o'clock this morning:
The mayor has rested comfortably
since o'clock. He has taken nour-
ishment and at the present time his
condition, In the opinion Of the at
tending physicians. is satisfactory.
Ernest j. Lederle."
An encouraging symptom displayed
by the stricken executive was the de-
velopment of a pronounced appetite.
The nourtshnlent mentioned In the Of
fictals bulletin was chicken broth.
The mayor had some difficulty swal-
lowing the broth owing to the sore
ness of the muscles. The broth did
not satisfy his appetite which Is good
and he okingly asked his secretary
to smuggle him in little bit more"
While the mayors condition is ad-
mittedly still serious and the ply
sicians would not commit themselves
on any statement as to the outcome,
Secretary Adamson, who was one of
those who remained with the mayor
all night, said today that he consid-
cred the outlook hopeful. Adamson,
however, was careful to impress the
possibility of danger from enfecton
of the wound which will remain until
the bullet Is removed. The x-ray
photographs last night showed that
the bullet had split just after it en-
tered the head. The mayors physl-
clans showed by their course through
the night that they considered him in
no danger.
Prosecutor Garvin of Hudson coun-
ty, New Jersey, began a prosecuting
to bring the case against Gallagher
before the grand jury which is now
sitting and expects to put him on
trial by the first of next week on the
charge of assault with intent to kill.
The penalty for this is twenty years
and under the communication rule will
give him about twelve years in prison.
OF course the charge depends on Gay
nor's condition
His Start.
1t was use of the phrase "to
h with the injunction" by John Y.
McKane, the boss Of Coney Island, in
the days when that famous resort was
an. inferno of bad women and worse
men, that first brought fame to Mayor
Gaynor.
McKane, who held the Coney Island
vote in the palm Of his hand and usu-
ally sold it to the party that bid the
highest, had refused to allow reform
workers to examine the registration
books. Gaynor secured for them an
injunction to prevent McKane from
interfering. McKane sent back his
famous defy. Gaynor took up the
challenge and as a result of the fight
that followed McKane went to prison
for five years, together with some of
his chief lieutenants, and the cleanup
of Coney Island began.
Protected boy.
The famous Duffy case. which re-
suited in the resignation of Police
Commissioner Bingham, is what is
said to have been directly responsible
for the enormous majority rolled up
for Mayor Gaynor at the last New
York election, when the majority Of
his co-candidates were so hopelessly
beaten.
Gallagher's Statement.
Gallagher made the following signed
confession of his act to Robert w.
Bell, acting chief of police of Hobo
ken last night:
II came over to Hoboken at 9:20|
this morning. went to the steam
ship pier and went on board the
steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse.
I met q clergyman on board the
steamer and l asked him to point
Mayor Gaynor to me.
"He did SO, and shortly after fired
a shot at the mayor l do not know
If fired more than one shot or not.
Knowing that Mayor Gaynor was
going to Europe this morning to en-
Joy himself after depriving me Of my
bread and butter, mot porterhouse
steak was irritated to the point of
committing the act.
"The revolver you show is the re-
volver that done the shooting at the
mayor with. l don't know how many
shots were in the revolver when l
used it. l have had the revolver a
long time in my possession. l car
ried it when was in the employ of
the city,"
Duffy, a boy of nineteen. had for
some reason gained the enmity Of the
police. He was arrested time and
