Washington, Sept. 11.-Administra-

expressed by officials in administration

Senior Manuel De Zamacona, sup
posed to be the personal representa-
tive of President Huerta, left Wash

out seeking any interviews with gov

the Mexican embassy conferred with
Secretary Bryan, but shed no light on
the Zamacona mission. The attitude
Of the United States toward Zama-

if he comes to treat on a new basis
and on the assumption that the pro-
posals made by John Lind have been
finally settled, namely, that the re-
quest for recognition be withdrawn
and Huerta eliminated from the
presidential contest.

necessity for further negotiation un-

MAYOR GAYN0R DEAD.
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF NEW
YORK CITY PASSES AWAY
AT SEA.
Stricken Very Suddenly While OH
Sea Voyage to Recover Health and
Strength-BOdy Will be Brought
Back To New York on Llisitania.

New York. Sept. 11.-William j.
Gaynor. mayor of New York city,
voyaging over sea on the steamer
Baltic in the hope of re-
gaining his strength to enter
the three-cornered municipal cam
paign as a candidate for reelection,
died suddenly on the Baltic as the
steamer was within a few hundred
miles of the Irish coast yesterday af-
ternoon.
The first news of his death flashed
by wireless and relayed by cable from
Europe, reached his secretary, Rob
ert Adamson, this morning. The
mayor had succumbed to heart failure,
the message said.
Later dispatches from his son. Ru-
fus w. GaynOr, who was his fathers
only travelling companion, gave details
which showed that the end had come
with shocking suddenness.
Father died at LOT p. M. We'd
nesday, the 10TH" said a message
from his son, received by Secretary
AdamsOn today. "His death was due
to heart failure. He was seated in his
deck chair q; the time. 1 and the
nurse and the ships doctor were with
him. discovered him unconscious in
his chair. Though still alive, ne died
about three minutes later without
recognizing any Of us. Everything
possible was done, but he seemed to
go as a candle flickers out. Am all
right and am trying to arrange to
bring the body back on the Lusitania,
sailing from Liverpool on Saturday,
the 18TH"
That the mayors heart had been in
weakened condition for years was
the statement tonight of physicians
who treated him at the time he was
shot in the neck and almost done to
death by an insane discharged em
ploye of the city in August. 1910. They
would not 'dsolace THAR belief that the
wound inflicted by the bullet had led
directly TO the end today but did af-
firm that his general RESISTANCE had
been lessened thereby to very great
extent.
Plans ior q public funeral to be
probably on Monday. September 90,
will be made tomorrow by the board
Of estimates. Late advices from
abroad say the body may be trans.
ferred from the Baltic to the steamer
Cedric. sailing from Queenstown to-
morrow. or if that Arrangement can
not be effected. to the TLusitania sail
ing from Liverpool on Saturday.
The body will arrive i'm New York
Friday or Saturday of next week.
With the death of Mayor Gaynor
New York automatically transferred
the office Of mayor to Ardolph l..
Kline, a Republican, president of the
board of aldermen. President Kline
took the oath of Office today and
his first official act was to call the
board OF estimates together to lay
plans for the public funeral services
Of his predecessor.
Mayor Kline then declared that
during this short term of office, which
will terminate January 1, 1914, he
would carry out the policies OF Mayor
Gaynor so far as he knew them.
