Report That Gaynor Has Ex-
pressed Doubt as to Hyde's
Return, Owing to Health.

Daytona. Fla, Jan. 12-The houseboat
Stop A While. on which Charles II.
Hyde, the City Chamberlain Of New
York, is supposed to be In hiding, has
| been found grounded in the canal be-
| tween this city and ST. Augustine.
In answer TO questions II was said
Mr. Hyde had left the boat at Beaufort,
n. c.. but had boarded it again at Jack
sonville, and then Immediately gone
ashore again. From the evasive way in
which questions were answered and the
denial Of permission to visit the interior
Of the houseboat, it Is believed Hyde Is
still on the boat and is keeping in close
hiding.
1t was given out that the passengers
consist OF a few women and a couple
of men, but no names outside OF Cap
tain McLaughlin's were given.
According to a story current yesterday.
Mayor Gaynor said that Mr.. Hyde was seri-
ously III: so Ill. in fact. that il was doubtful
whether he would ever return 10 his office
as City Chamberlain. Gall stones and
symptoms of Bright's disease are Mr..
Hyde's affiictions. It Is said. and an opera
ton for the former is said 70 be an immi-
nent probability.
Personal friends Of the long missing city
Chamberlain confirmed the story so far as
admissions that Mr.. Hyde had been az
fiicted with gall stones. but no one else
would say that he was more seriously Ill
with that disease now than he had been
at any time in the last year

States ponds OF the State Of New York or
bonds OF the stock OF the city or New
York" and in no other securities.
The reported Illness OF the city Cham
berlain has. however strengthened the ru-
NOR that Mr.. Hyde will resign his place
soon and that the Mayor has Police Com
