Canvass Favors Him.

Fire Commissioner Johnson. head ~ the
board Of Gaynor managers. carefully re-
Trained yesterday from intimating In anv
way what the decision Of the Mavo-
would be on the question Of taking the
fusion nominees for places on the ticket
below Mayor. One suggestion being co.,
sidered, according 10 report was thu
Gaynor's name be put at tho head a,
three separate columns on the ballot
ore containing no other names. one con-
tanning the fusion candidates and the
third containing the Democratic candj-
dates for the other places on the Boa I'd
Of Estimate
The advantage TO the Mayor Of such
position on the ballot is apparent. but tho
difficulties in the way OF its attainment
seem too great 10 be overcome. II would
be hard task TO get nominating petItions
for both the fusion and Tammanv candi-
dates the fact that efforts were being
made TO get both would make each diff
cult The fusion candidates would
scarcely accept places on the Gaynor
ticket II he also were 10 run with the
Democratic candidates
The report that the fusion nominees
Borough President McAneny and Control
Ter Prendergast. could have the same
places on the Gaynor ticket If they would
accept them was given more authoritative
color by Jacob A. Cantor. former Borough
President and close political adviser Of
the Mayor. Mr.. Cantor said the Mayor
went 10 Europe with his mind fully made
Up TO carry the entire list of fusion Board
Of Estimate candidates with him.
Cantor said the Mayor had decided TO
indorse the fusion nominees several weeks
ago when he learned that there was no
probability Of obtaining a Tapmany in
dorsement for the mayoralty. The Mayor
declared then that he would go right
ahead into the fight and break up the
Tammany way of doing things"
Some want him to run alone" said
Mr.. Cantor. and others are insistent
upon his naming his own ticket. But he
will decide these things for himself. And
he Will make his own terms, you may be
sure"
