MAYOR W i. I. GAYNOR SHOT BY AN ASSASSIN GOTHANPS CHIEF STRICKEN DOWN ON STEAMER. Discharged Employee of City Fires Three Shots, One Taking Effect in Neck. New York, August 9.-William G. Gaynor. mayor of New York city, was shot in the head and seriously wound ed today as he stood on the promeni ade deck of the steamship Kaiser Wil helm der Grosse. by James J. Gallagh er. a discharged and isgruntled city employee. Gallagher was almost in stant.y oVerpowered and arrested. The shot was fired at 9.15 o'clock this morning, 15 minutes before the vessel was due to leave her pier at Hoboken, N. J., and the mayor was receiving God-speed from a group of friends preparatory to a vacatioi trip to Europe. The bullet struck him behind the right ear and ranged downward, in flicting a dangerous, though not nec essarily a fatal wound, and, unless blood poison develops, surgeons are hopeful of ,the mayor's recovery, al though at his age-59 years-such a wound is essentially grave. ; Tonight the mayor is at St. Mary's hospital, Hoboken, surrounded by his specialists, with members of his fam ily gathered near, awaiting the ont come with anxiety. All early reports from the hospita' were hopeful in tone and this even Ing six X-ray L egatives of the wound were taken to facilitate an op6ration: for the removal of the bullet. Gal lagher the would-be assassin, is lock ed in a cell at Jersey City, held with out bail. He expresses no remorse. Surrounded by Friends. The big liner was gay with flags and ringing with shouted good-byes when the tragedy occurred. Most of' those who had been aboard the ship 'to say farewell to friends or relatives had gone ashore, but a little group re mained to talk with the mayor. They were standing on the port side of the vessel, near the promenade deck, for ward, and were in the act of posing for a group photograph when Gal lagher. unnoticed, pushed his way al most to the mayor's side and fired: point blank at his head. He used a 38-calibre revolver and: an examination later disclosed that the first cartridge had missed fire. This probably saved the mayor's life, for Gallagher, when he first pulled the~ trigger, was less than two feet away. Backing away slightly in his excite ment, he pulled the trigger a second time and sent a bullet crashing into' the mayor's neck below the ear. Wil-, liama H. Edwards, commissioner of street cleaning and the former Prince ton football star, struck Gallagher's :arm. As he did so, a second shot pierced Edwards's sleeve, inflicting a slight flesh wound on the right arm, which remained -unaiscovered for: hours because of the excitement. Edwards Felled Gallagher. Unmindful of his wound, Edwards hit the man a blow in the face and: Othey crashed to the deck together,' Gallagher struggling and pulling vi-. ciously at the trigger. But Edwards was too much for him. He rained blow after blow in Gallagh 'ers now bleeding face, while Adamson and Archibald R. Watson, council for the city, flung themselves on the struggling two in an attempt to grasp the weapon. When Mr. Watson had obtained possession of it, Edwards a-Sd Gallagher continued a bitter struggle about the deck. E.dwards now crying and shouting in his anger and excitement and Gallagher panting as exhaustion began to grip his limbs. When completely subdued. a pair of: steel nippers were slipped on his: wrists by a special officer, and he was rushed through a threatening: .rowd off the vesse.i. imto an automo-. bile and arraigned before Recorder McGovern, of Hoboken. Gaynior Remained Conscious. During the struggle with the man who had attempted to take his life, Mayor Gaynor, though badly wounded and bleeding from the mouth and nose, did not lose consciousness. The: Impact of the bullet did not even throw him from his feet, but he raised his hands to his ears, and with his ~face contorted with pain, he stagger ed in a daze and leaned limply across the ships' rail until Adamson came to his assistance. Then some one drew a steamer chair to his side and: into this the mayor sank. A few min utes later he was removed to a state room, where the ship's surgeons tem porarily bandaged the wound pre paratory to his removal to St. Mary's hospital. Rufus Gaynor, a son, was the only member of the mayor's family present when he was shot. His wife and the other children were at the Gaynor country place at St. James, L. L.; when Mrs. Gaynor was notified b3 teehone of the tragedy. sh mrade a conriaiiied by her son. Norman, comipanied by her son. Norman. Manhaztan, sped across the island to i the Hudson river and was taken to Hoboken in a police patrol boat. She was almost overcome when she reach ed St. Mary's hospital, and was per mitted to see her husband for only a moment. She was joined there shortly by Mrs. Ethel Vingut, a daugh ter recently married, and they began their vigil near the bedside. Brave and Cheerful. Rarely has a wounded man evinced more fortitude and cheerfulness than did William J. Gaynor today. He evi- 1 dently thought as he was being car- I ried down the companion-way from :.he ship on a stretcher that his wound I was fataT. for he smiled and faintly! said to those near him: "Tell the peo pe good-bye." To his wife and son, Rufus, he said later: t "It is very strange, very strange. I 1 wonder why he did it." But at no time did he express ill feeling toward the man who would have killed him. And that he looked calmly on the ever present prospect of assassination is: indicated in the tone of a recent letter I to a citizen who had warned him of the danger of going to the subway without an escort. To his solicitous friend, Charles Weinblatt, a lawyer, c he wrote on March 22. last: "I thank you very much for your E letter, but I have no fear about going out alone. I do not think any one would do me any harm unless he was c a lunatic, and it is hard to guard< against lunatics." s Operation Improbable. While the official bulletin stated! that the bullet had been split during its passage, it did not specify the lo- : cation of the two segments. It was i learned unofficially that one bit of I lead remained embedded in the flesh 8 almost at the wound's opening, while the other part is buried in the lower I part of the mouth. Dr. Wolff, house physicanat the hospital said late tonight it was probable no operation 1 would be performed tomorrow. The s mayor's temperature is normal, pulse 0 strong and his mental attitude favor able for recovery. In fact, the sur- C geons were so optimistic that mem- 13 bers of the Gaynor family left the hos- b pital tonight, leaving Mrs. Gaynor l1 lone in her vigil beside her husband. The mayor called for ice water late e onight, and was allowed to drink s uite freely. Previously he had tak en several swallows of braridy poured n ver ice. He slept for a time this af- s ternoon, and again tonight, and cheer- s fully suggested that he be allowed to alk to .the operating room, where he X-ray photographs were taken. s: his his physicians forbade.
