Mr.. Hyde left his home in RoslYn
Long Island. Thursday. and went tc
the Hotel McAlpin. with the intention
of attending the body of Mayor Gaynor
to the Gaynor home in Brooklyn when
it was taken from the Lusitania. lie

with him in an attempt 10 relieve his

administered. but had no effect until
late in the morning. when Mr.. Hyde
went TO sleep. At ! 80 o'clock in the
afternoon he was taken to the hospital
and last night was resting easily.
X-rsy Finds Trouble.
Five X-ray pictures have been taken
in the effort 10 locate the stone that is
causing the trouble. and yesterday IL
was found between the kidneys and
the bladder Hyde had been at the
Post Graduate Hospital on August q
and September 10. aid It was then
known that something radical must be
done for him. but he begged that any
operation be postponed until after the
Gaynor funeral. The relations between
the two were so close that Mr.. Hyde
not only felt it duty but one OF his
special privileges 10 pay the last re-
spccts TO his dead friend.
The only callers at the hospital yes
terday were Mrs. Hyde and Thomas T.
Tracy. the contractor. and William T.

Michael Fox. who was attached 20
the City Controllers office when Mr.

Or. Crosby. Mr. Hyde's personal physi
clan. accompanied him from tho hotel
10 the hospital Yesterday nc was able
! to leave his bed and cross the room
| unattended. and said that he was not
suffering any great pain. Tho attacks
come on him by spells and are ener-
waiting.
With his glasses on. IN bed az the
hospital, &Ir Hyde said yesterday:
Mayor Gaynor met death as tho re-
suit Of n bullet fired by a poor de-
mented man. President Mckinley met
his fate in the same way, as did Prcsi-
dent Garfield Last year President
Roosevelt received a bullet from the
same kind Of man.
| Talks Of Sensational Press
rs there any thoughtful person who
does not believe that these dcmentcd
slayers were led on to their acts by a
sensational press?
While Mayor Gaynor's body lies in
state in the CITY Hall, the theatre Of
four years Of hard work on his part
for the people OF New York, would it
/ not be well for those who pass through
and view his remains 10 consider how
they may devise some means Of ending
| this sort of thing? or shall We daily
see parties and candidates determining
| their attitude in reference 10 public
| questions by the course Of this or that
yellow Journal?
Those who have had any active eX-
pcrience in politics know how difficult
It is to induce men Of affairs TO accept
public office.
The only remedy see is for decent
people to refuse TO buy papers that
depend for their circulation upon abuse
| of officials and other such matter
| When they do that the funny picture
| EDITORS salary will not be five times
| that of the learned men who write the
editorials on important subjects Of the
day.
Il have little fault TO find with those
| who sell the papers. They sell what
the public wants. The haberdasher
who kept only red neckties because he
liked them would go broke when blue
