regard 10 his running on An independent
ticket, and that the Mayor expressed en-
tire sympathy with their plan for "a big
notification meeting on the City Hall steps
Wednesday.
Fire Commissioner Johnson, in a state.
ment last night. showed that the Gaynor
committee would try TO give the i'm.
preston that Mayor Gaynor was the real
leader Of the fusion movement In the
city. He said:
1.-THE last two days have developed that
those who were opposed to Tammany
Hall gaining control OF the Board OF Es-
innate, without regard TO party. have
come TO regard the Mayor as the real
leader OF the fusion movement.
ut IS perfectly apparent that at least
the Republican element Of the so-called
fusion designations. headed by Mr..
Mitchell. only await the opportunity 10
return the Mayor TO membership in the
non-partisan Board OF Estimate which
has conducted the city government TO the

for the last four years"
RaIlying to City Hall.
The committee Of seven appointed from
various organizations which came out for
the Mayor at the get together" meeting
Thursday night began canvassing their
districts yesterday TO get as many as
possible OF the Mayors friends to visit
City Hall Wednesday and give him real
demonstration.
The expressed intention OF some Of the
Gaynor managers 10 place the Mayor al
the head OF the fusion ticket. indorsng
all the fusion nominees except Mr..
Mitchell, was modified yesterday after
conferences among some OF the most IN
ruentisl supporters back OF the Gaynor
movement. These supporters declared
that developments might show that the
Mayor would be stronger than fusion"
ard It would be better policy for him to
run alone for the Mayoralty. They con-
tended that the fusion ticket had been 90
d.Inoraized By recent developments that
the names OF fusion nominees on the
Gaynor ticket might act as drawback
The Gaynor supporters argued that the
Mayor would help fusion more than
fusion would help him If he ran on a
fusion ticket. and 1t would be a burden
10 carry the fusion candidates aong with
him They wanted 10 make his candidacy
purely for the Mayoralty. they said, and
were willing TO trust his popularity and
personality alone 10 win him success.
Tammany Turned Down.
The Mayors supporters looked upon This
idea very seriously. and believed that
the Mayor realized the sentiment that was
back OF him, after he had been actively
in the campaign for few days, he wou!d
be willing 10 run alone and not admit me
fusionists 10 his ticket.
According TO Mayor Gaynor there was
a scramble by some Tammany nominees
yesterday to get on the Gaynor ticket

Tammany nominees for General Sessions
and others were said 10 have been III

directly or through messengers, ana

could not be Endorsed bv the Gaynorites.
Their overtures we're the result OF the
word going out from Charles F. Murphy
Il was said, that Tammany expected "

OF the candidates believed they could se'
more votes by going IN the Gaynor tIcH-
Of there would he TO objection 10 tneh
doing so.
Fire Commissioner Johnson and other
Gaynor leaders said that all SUCH over
lures from Tammany candidates had been
turned down.
Some OF the Gaynor managers were sun
clinging to the hope yesterday that Mitch.
81 would withdraw and the Mayor heaa
the fusion ticket. They fgured that the
fusion ticket was going TO pieces and tha'
the nominees were scrambiing 10 get on
the other tickets 10 save thenseNes.
While they believed that Mitchell wou'a
want 70 stick TO the bitter end, they
thought that eventually influence wou"
be brought TO bear upon him from Wash'
inston, and he would be advised TO VITA
