IS NOW S0L|D|F|ED
Contest Is Considered Clean-Cut
Between Radicals and
Conservatives.
MOVEMENT CLOSED CHAPTER
Herman Ridder, Foremost Sup
porter OF Gaynor, Says It
Depended on Him.

New York, September 1l-While po-
the news OF Mayor Gaynor's death. and
did not care to discuss to day the prob
able effcc- upon tho mayoralty cam
paign. nevertheless 1t was clearly indi-
Gated that the anti-Tammany forces
are more nearly solidifed now than
they had been with the prospect OF a
further division of strength.
Leaders OF the Gaynor movement de-
clared tonight that there would be no
substitute candidate. Although no con-
ference has yet been held. it is CON
siderei likely that the whole move
ment will he abandoned.
Closed Chapter
Herman Ridder. one of Gaynor's fore
most supporters said:
The movement depended wholly
upon the personality of Mayor Gaynor.
[ suppose it is now closed chapter"
Friends Of Mr.. Ridder said he would
undoubtedly support John Purroy
Mitchell for Mayor.
The independence league committee
on vacancies met to-day and named
James A. Allen as the league designee
TOR Mayor in place of John Purroy
Mitchell. who withdrew when the league
declined to indorse William a. Prem
dergast and George McAneny for comp
troller and president of the Board of
Aldermen.

n
iitical situation to-day. Comptroller
Prendergast expressed the opinion that
the business men and the conservative
eieinent of the community would have
supported Mayor Gaynor but II was
now hard to tell Just where that vote
would be thrown.
Tammany leaders believe Mccall the
organization candidate, will get a large
percentage Of the vote that would have
gone to Gaynor and that the fight will
b" clean-cut between radicals and CON
scrvatives.

that he had been in an almost contin-

hours. and that he believed that the
bullet. which had paralyzcd one sec
ton of his throat, had slowly Travelled
down to the lung and was pressing
upon some nerve there.
Because of the political situation
in New York he begged me not TO give
the public any hint of his real physical
condition. lest the news might depress
his political friends and interfere with
the progress OF the campaign.
Not Afraid to Die.

extent that words can hardly ex-
press 1t. So greatly was his face
changed that barely knew him when

lips were white. His hands and knees
trcmbled constantly. His form was
bent and he brcnthed with obvious diff
ficulty.

Washington. September 11.-As the
climax OF the vigorous Republican con-

Throughout the day Republicans
criticized the means employed by the
Democrats in framing the currency
bill. denouncing the secret sessions of
the Banking and Currency Committee
majority and the secret sessions of the
caucus which indorsed the bin. This
evening Representative Anderson OBJ
tanned the floor and sent his rcsigna-
