day a latter from Mayor Gaynor. Mr. :"
Creelman decided on this step bacaus ':
he was convinced today that nothing;
but this action would prvnt Mr.

which Is dated fit. James, September
26, and addressed to Mr. Creelman.
says:
"I am this day writing a letter to
Chairman Mix. stating that I am not
a candidate for nomination for gov
crnor and refuse to become such. I
do this to remove alt doubt on ths
subject which may arise by reason of
irresponsible statements which 1 am
Informed are being circulated. No
utterance of mine has put the matter
In doubt. Boras hav said to me that
the convention may nominate me, al
though I am not a candidate. It
seems to me thst it might appear vain
or egotistical for ma to aroum la my
letter to Mr. otx that the extraordi
nary thing might happen. I therefore
write this supplemental letter to yoa
to take to Rochester and how, so ss
to prevent my nomination if it should
appear to be Imminent.
"Make it plain. If nominated, t will
decline to accept. I could not aban

whom I hav appointed to office and
who are working so hard for good
government, nor could I abandon the
people of New Tork after o short
service. You msy make this letter
public or In advance of going to Roch-'

think the situation calls ror It. But
do not do to unless it is plsinly neces
