 A4eetings of various bodies at which resolutions of regret at the mayors death and tributes to his career as nan and official were adopted marked the day. Messages of cOndOl6hce eontin- ued to pour into his family at St, James and to Mayor Kline at the city hall The new mayor, who actively entered upon his new duties today, reiterated his disclaimer of any inten- tion to make any radical changes in the personnel of the city's officials over whom he has the power of ap- pointment and removal
 That Mayor Gaynor's family will be found to be well provided for when his will comes to be probated seems the general belief Friends of the family and individuals in q position to know more or less accurately the extent of the mayors holdings of real estate and securities variously esti- mated today the value of his estate as from $5OO,000 to $3,000,00O, with the consensus of opinion favoring 8 sum not more than half the larger figure. Mayor Gaynor had a. large and lucra- tive law practice before he went on the bench and had realized much in fees from important trusteeships and from wise investments.
 The striking event of the day in connection with the political compli- cations which have arisen through the death of Mayor Gaynor. who was an independent candidate for reelection, came when the Gaynor campaign managers designated George Mo Aneny, fusion candidate for president of the board of aldermen, as their candidate for mayor to take the va cant place. Mir. McAneny. however. promptly declined the honor, declaring he would not accept any nomination in opposition to John Purroy Mitchell, the fusion nominee
