| land, which the late mayor attended

Meetings Of various bodies at which
resolutions Of regret at the mayors
death AID tributes To his career as
man and official were held today
| Messages Of coincidence continued to
pour into his family at st. James and
TO Mayor Kline at the city hall
The new mayor, who actively en-
tered upon his new duties today, re-
iterated his disclaimer of any inten-
| ton to MALI any radical changes in
the personnel Of the citys officials
over whom he has the power Of ap
pointment and removal
That Mayor Gaynors family will be
found to be well provided for when
his will comes to be probated was the
general belief Friends Of the family
and individuals in position to know
more or less accurately the extent OF
the mayors holdings of real estate and
securities varlously estimated today
the value of his estate as from $780,
| 600 to 100000, with the consencus
OF opinion faVoring a sum not msre
than half the larger figure. Mayor
| Gaynor had a large and lucrative law
| practice before he went on the bench,
and had realized much in fees from
/ important trustecships and from wise
| investments His legal allowance in
the settlement of the estate Of William
Zeigler, the baking powder manufac-
turer, Of which he was trustee, was
| large.
The striking event Of the day in
connection with the political compll-
cations which have a-~ien through the
death Of Mayor Gaynor, who was an
| independent candidate for reelection
came when the Gaynor campaign
managers designated George McAncny
fusion candidate for president Of the
/ board Of aldermen, as their candidate
| for mayor TO take the vacant place
on the ticket. Mr.. McAneny, how
ever promptly declined the honor, de-
claring he would not accept any nomi-
nation in opposition to John Purroy
Mitchell, the fusion nominee.
There existed tonight the impress
sion that Gaynor managers would per-
sist, for a time at least, in their plan
Of putting an Independent ticket in
the field. Wifiam r. Wilcox, form
er chairman Of the public service
commission, was mentioned as an
other man whom the Gaynor leaders
had urged to accept a place on the
| Independent ticket.
