Mayor GaynOr Not Talking
About Own Chances.

New York, June 4.-Mayor Gaynor
was greatly annoyed to reao d1spalches
from Washington in which 1t was re-
ported that he had consulted with pom
ticians while in tie capital n hao
admitted to them that destiny might
name him at the Baltimore convention
as the Democratic candidate for presl-
dent. Whoever has watched closely
the pubic career and has some under
standing of the highly original ana
somewhat eccentr,. characteristics OF
Mayor Gaynor did not need his explicit
denial of these reports. If the mayor
has had ambition to be named
Democratic candidate for president or
has occasionally forecasted the con-
vention'S work in such manner as TO
see himself in the vista as the can
didate it would be in accord with his
entire political career if he were Sc
cretive about these matters, trusting,
possibly, not even his most intimate
political friend. Some of those VINO
know him well see in him a politician
of exceptional adroitnesS and SuDtlety.
others are still wondering whether or
not his apparent frankness and reck-
less freedom about expressing his
views on all sorts &C subjects are siTnu-
lated or real. What Mayor Gaynor
probably learned in washington was
the na,&re of the somewhat adroit,
carefully planned and, so far, we'll
worked out scheme which has the
nomination of Oscar Underwood, lead
er of the Democratic majority in the
house Of representatives, at the Balti-
more convention in view.
Within two or three days the local
politicians have Eeard-and not with
any regret-that there seems to be
strong Likelihood that Mr.. Underwood
will, either upon the second or third
ballot al the Baltimore convention, re-
ceive mUre than two-thirds of the
cIyf11fTI1 T7hfn
tions have either been perfected or are
in process of perfecting which it is
expected will give to Mr.. Underwood
the necessary t~wo-thirds vote. Our
local politicians do not believe it is
possible for Br. Bryan or his friends
to control more than one-third of the
votes Of the convention. If these
forces are large enough and sufficient
ly disciplined to compass the Nominal
ton of L1I. Underwood hey are likely
to be strong enough to secure the

RACE RIOT NEAR
Blacks and Whites Tie Up
Traffic on Avenue.
Fights Thick for Half an Hour
Police Absent.

Armed with guns, knives, razors,
rocks and brick bats. several undred
men and women stood for a half hour
at Tenth and Kansas avenue last night
awaiting a chance to run or partiei-
pate in a young race riot. A big lack
negro man-ringleader in the trouble
was permitted t. walk quietly away
and neither the crowd nor the police
offered any resistance.
1t all started when several negroes
and white men engaged in a fight on a
baseball train. Hostilities were re-
newed wnen the train stopped near the
transfer station The crowd took a
most unfriendly liking for the larger
of the colored gents and the negro
held an Tnquestioned lead in a quarter
| mile chase down Kansas venue Some
one got close enough to land a short
/ hook oil the negro's head and closed
one of his eyes. A few others were in
throwing range n contributed
bricks and rocks from the site OF a
new building.
At Tenth avenue h chase stopped.
Backed by reinfcrcements of every
shade and hue, the negro voted to
stand his ground-and he did-for a
time at least. Out of every door and
window came colored men and women
All wanted to fight. The streets and
Sidewalks were but the po-
lice were busy in another part of
town, perhaps, and for 20 mute Al
Hopkins stood as the lone representa-
tive of law and order. The negro who
caused the real GTOuplc Quietly Stu

two of them-in ar automobile. They
found an opening through the street
and arrested Boss" Burns, who had
advocated free trouble in large pack
ages.
While the crowd was anxiously wait
ing for someone to be killed, a riot call
was sent to police heaquarters. Ten
minute. after the call was received,
two men were sent to take care of the
situation in which more than 500 peo-
pie were trying to take a hand.

adoption of a platform upon which
| Mr.. Underwood is willing to stand.
That Small Vote.
No DO. iticians have more carefully
studied ere feature of the recent Re
publican primaries than have some of
the astnte Democratic leaders. In
fact, these men seem to have given
greater heed to this peculiar feature
of the campaign than the Republicans
have done. These men stimate that
only about rs per cent of the Republi-
can voters took any part in the recent
primaries. If that proportion charac-
terizeS the presumptiVe interest in the
primaries which would have been felt
which nc primaries were held had
these states also had primaries, then
it is estimated thai between five mil
lions and six millions of Republicans
would have declined to participate in
the primaries. The question is asked,
what does this mean? Thai it is a
situation fraught with deep meaning
is unquestioned. Some Democratic
leaders profess to have knowledge of
the purpose of many thousand Repub-
licans to vote for a Democratic candi-
date for president, provided he is a
man not too radical. This would ex-
Plain, these men think, the refusal of
many Republicans to take part in the
primaries.
The friends of Mr.. Underwood, D
c1ally those who are now in Washing
toh, CIdiuI 10 nave learned that, II he
be nominated for president. he will re-
ce1ve as great a support from Repub-
l1cans as Grover Cleveland did in 1892
This is one of the reasons why it has
been difficult to make combinations
in favor OF Underwood, which Mayor
Gaynor must ave heard something
about when he was in Washington.
He May Be the Next Governor.
The Democratic. leaders in this vi
cinity who know better than any one
cratic party in New York think that
it is far more likely hat Mayor Gay
nor will be nominated for governor of
New York next fall than for president
at the Baltimore convention. They
believe that Gaynor would receive a
larger plurality in New York city if
nominated for governor than any
other Democrat and good Judges
among the Republicans are disposed
to speak of this view as accurate.
Still Financing Mexico.
In this column there was recently
some reference to the activities of
American financiers in many parts of
the world, particularly Spain, Russia,
China, and, to some extent, in Ger
many and in Cuba. There should at
that time have been reference to the
large amount of financing which Jas.
Speyer has done in Cuba and also in
Mexico. To these achievements Mr..
Speyer has added another which car
ried a meaning quite as important as
that which lay behind his large
financing in Cuba. Men of finance
here and in Europe were confident
that if Mr.. Speyer felt justified in
