NDW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE death
of VIM. ]. Gaynor has brought about
a situation which threatens the nomi-
nation of Tammany Hall in New York
City politics as 1t has not been threat
ened In years This opinion, express
ed in political circles today followed
Gaynor. With John Purroy Mitchell
heading the fusion ticket the anti
Tammany forces will be united, pro-
viding the Hearst and Mitchell fac
tions drop their disagreement as It,
appears likely. Gaynor announced he
would be a candidate for reelection,
following the action of Tammany hall
in naming Edw. e. Mccall to head
It's ticket. The mayor was placed in.
the field on an independent ticket. It
was conceded that the remainder OF
the Gaynor ticket would be made up
of the men named on the fusion anti
Tammany ticket to run with John
Purroy Mitchell.
The situation was complicated by
the refusal of the Hearst Indepen-l
dence League to endorse William A.
1 Prendergast and George McAneny,
/ candidates for comptroller and presi-
! dent of the board of aldermen on the
/ fusion ticket This resulted In split
in the fusion ranks as Mitchell insist
ed that the entire fusion ticket must.
4 be endorsed IL he was to eccept the,
/ place at the head OF the Independence
League ticket. But with this warfare
settled, the Issue would be strictly
between the united anti-Tammany
forces and Tammany hail. unless sSn-
other candidate is named in Gaynor's
place 1t is admitted the vote against
Mccall would be seriously divided be-
cause of the candidacy of Gaynor and
Mitchell.
Norman E. Hapgood, chairman Of
the fusion committee issued the fol-
lowing statement regarding the death
OF Mayor Gaynor: 1T is difficult
time for me to say anything. 1t is a
great tragedy and the first feeling of
every one must be one of sorrow.
Mayor Gaynor was an interesting fig
ure and his death must inspire re-
gret I cannot discuss its political
significance except to say that the
situation has been simplffied to the
1 extent that now all opponents of Tam

A committee of the Earlham Orator

ARGUMENT CLOSES
IN VEREGGE CASE
Judge Fox Gives His Charge
to the Jury Late This
Afternoon.

The case of the contest of the prob
ing of the will of Eliza Veregge was
closed this afternoon shortly after four
o'clock at which time Judge Fox COM
pleted his charge to the jury.
The case has been going on in the
Wayne circuit court for the past ten
days. The plaintiff is John Veregge
son of the late Eliza Veregge.
Judge Fox's charge to the jury was
used by an attorney in his final argu-
ment for the plaintiff. Sections of the
charge of the courts defined undue in
fluence as charged by the plaintiff
and person of unsound mind.
In part the charge reads: You are
instructed that no definite rule can be
stated nor absolute standard fixed by
which mental conditions can be judg-
ed, yet the court in the light of exper-
fence have formulated rules to aid
juries in investigating and judging
that will serve this purpose as nearly
as it can be done.
The law requires a person to pos
sess mind enough to know the extent
and value of a persons property and
the number and names of persons who
are natural objects of his bounty, their
deserts with reference to their conduct
and treatment toward him; and that
she shall have a sufficient memory to
retain all these facts in his mind long
enough to have the will prepared and
executed"
