about the dynamite that was found
under Mayor Gaynors window at the
City Hall Thursday, and. having been
assured that il was not the KIND useo
in subway work said that fact would
absolve him from the suspicion of hav-
ing placed ii there to remove rival
In the mayoralty race.
Chairman Mccall went to the BAH
game yesterday afternoon and later 10
his summer home at Southampton.
Hopes to Spike SuIzer Guns.
The gossip yesterday was that MUIR
ply thought he would spike Sulzer S
guns by naming Chairman Mccall II
was reported that Governor Sulzer IN
tended TO stump for John Purroy
Mitchell. He could not very well OPP
nose Chairman Mccall. II was thought,
for when Sulzer appointed Mccall as
chairman of the Public Service Com
mission he spoke of him in the high
est terms and held him up as the type
of man who ought to be nominated
for Mayor.
Mccall is the one Tammany man
who has remained friendly with the
Governor during all his trouble. When
he was asked what he thought Mr..
Suffers attitude would be toward his
candidacy, he replied with shake of
his head:
IL am sure don't know"
Chairman Mccall had long talk with
Senator James A. Foley. who is franz
ing the Democratic city platform. IL is
safe 70 say that il will come out strong
for subways. denouncing the course or
Mr.. Mitchell on that issue, and try TO
make the people believe that economy
and retrenchment" are parts of the
Tammany creed. The platform also will
be for reform with large "R.
Among those who called on Chairman
Mccall yesterday were Philip +. Dono-
hue. the messenger for Murphy; Justice
Barlow :. Weeks. who. Of course hopes
TO be renominated for the Supreme
Court: Herman Ridder and William
rhesebrouCh. president of the City
Economy League.
Herman Ridder with Gaynor.
Mr.. Rdder said he really wanted to
know whether Chairman Mccall intend
ed to accept the nomination When as
sured that Mccall would run Mr. Ridder
hurried right over to the City Hall 20
tell Mayor Gaynor he would stand with
him if he ran Independently.
William Chesebrough would not dis
cuss his visit. a friend however, was
authority for the statement that he in
tended to swing the Economy League 10
the support Of the Tammany candidate
How successful|he will be with the 30
600 members Of the organization remains
TO be seen. A meeting of the executive
committee of the organization was held
yesterday, but no action on candidates
was taken.
The Mayor kept pretty we'll to himself
at the City Hall yesterday There were
few who dared to go near him. In the
afternoon he sent for r. Ross Appleton
the manager of the Gaynor Leagues. III
was said they first discussed the posi-
bilty of stampeding the Tammany des-
ignating committee to-day This was
quickly abandoned. Then it was sus-
gested that perhaps the Mayor might be
designated as an independent candidate
for the nomination at the Democratic
primaries. But this idea was also given
up. as there would be only FIVE days IN
which TO prepare petitions containing
per cent of the Democratic vote in this
city for Governor last fall.

Earlier in the day the Mayor had been
asked 10 give statement TO the news
