Mr.. Daniels laid great stress, in his

the Northwest with the utilization of
the canal. He stated that one of the
principal objects of his visit was to
study the naval needs Of the Pacific

GAYN0R'S DEATH IS
BLOW TO TAMMANI

The death Of William ]. Gaynor has
brought about a situation which threat
ems the domination Of Tammany Hall in
New York city politics.
With John Purroy Mitchell heading
the fusion ticket, the anti-Tammany
forces will be united. providing the
Hearst and Mitchell factions drop their
disa greements, as appears is likely.
Gaynor was placed I'm the field on an
independent ticket. 1t was conceded that
the remainder Of the Gaynor ticket
would be made up Of the men named
on the fusion and-Tammany ticket TO
run with John Purroy Mitchell.
The situation was complicated by the
refusal Of tho Hearst Independence
League to inioree William 4. Prender-
CAST and George McAneny, candidates
for comptroller and president of the
board of aldermen an the fusion ticket.
This resulted in split in the fusion
ranks, as Mitchell insisted that the en-
tire fusion ticket must be indorsed If he
was to accept the place at the head of
the Independence League ticket
Adrlph I. Kline, Republican. p'esi-
dent of the board of aldermen, became
acting mayor upon the death of Gaynor.
He was serving temporarily during the
mayors absence. and last week took
the lid off at Coney Island.
John Purroy Mitchell. who resigned
as president of the board of aldermen
TO become collector of the port, would
have become acting mayor now II he
had not accepted the Federal position.

Bryan Is Shocked
At Gaynor's Death

Deeply affected by the news of the
death of Mayor Gaynor, whom he had
known for seventeen years, Secretary
Of State Bryan issued today the follow
ing statement:
Il am distressed to learn of Mayor
Gaynor's death. While his health has
not been good since the attempt was
made on his life. / was not prepared for
the notice of his demise. 1 have known
him since 1896. He was strong man
with a genius for public life. not only
in the sense that he had ability in the
discussion of public questions. but his
sympathies were broad, and his heart
was enlisted in the cause Of reform. His
place will be hard to fill.''
Acting Secretary of the Navy Roose-
welt was equally shocked
Il have known him for a long time,
not only in politics and public life. but
1 have also practiced law before him in
the appellate division. 1 am very sorry
to learn of his DEATH
President Wilson was advised of the
news shortly after he reached his execu-
tive offices at the White House. and
was apparently much shocked. Secre-
tary Tumulty, who told him, was like
wise visibly moved.

lieve that Mayor Gaynor had been
called SO suddenly. He. was deeply
panied by the news.
Congressman Charles Smith OF the
Forty-first New York district, hailed
Mayor Gaynor as a great man despite
his ec0ntricities.
"His administration Of affairs in
New York was especially good in
spite of the erratic things he said
and did, said Mr.. Smith.
"One of the most courageous men in
public life" was the characterization
of Mayor GaynOr by Congressman
Robert H. Gittins. of the Fortieth
New York district. He declared no.
body ever doubted Mayor Gaynor's
honesty of purpose.
Congressman Taylor, whose district.
the Twenty-fifth, is just outside New
York. said of Mayor Gaynor: "He
could play with Tammany. or he could
plav against 1t. But he ruled Tam
many, rather than being ruled by it,
That the death Of Mayor Gaynor
will not affect materially The mayor

the opinion today of Congressman
Daniel j. Riordan. ."

Full Strength, Belief in New
York Quarters Here.

In New York circles. in administration
quarters and in Congressional circles to-
day the shock of the news of the sudden
death of Mayor Gaynor was followed by
widespread comment on the political ef-
feet of it. 1t was the general sentiment
that Mayor Gaynor's removal from the
New York mayoralty situation would
work for the election Of John Purroy
Mitchell.
Here is the version of the effect of the
death of Mayor Gaynor as given in the
best Informed New York quarters:
The removal of Mayor Gaynor will
leave fusion with practically its full
strength. The appeal of Mayor Gaynor
as candidate for mayor would have been
to the Independent vote of the city. His
attacks would have been on the Tam
many organization. Mitchell is asking
the Independent support and the Repub-
lican support, and with Mayor Gaynor
eliminated may be expected to get it.
The opinion freely expressed here is that
almost the entire Independent vote VIII

he is limited in picking his cabinet
to the men suggested to him by

offhand who had been suggested for
the post of secretary of state, be-
sides Mr.. Bryan, the selection of the
Nebraskan was indicated.
"There is absolutely no justifica-
ton for that inference" declared Mr..
Wilson. az could not call the names
who have been suggested for other
portfolios either" He paused and
added after minutes reflection:
"And l might be making some NOM

gested to me-"
