The Wounded Mayor of New York
Will Accept tha Demo- v
J i . cratic Nomination ! J :
New York, Sept 6. Friends of may
or Gaynor, who have visited him at his
borne at St Jemes, where be is recov
ering from the effects of an aeeassia's
bullet, said that If nominated , aa tbe
Democratic .candidate for governerhe
will accept He will nut become an ac
tive candidate for the nomination, they
say, aad would prefer to serve his term
as mayor, but if "drafted'' he will
cept4 Relieving he should,, do all ; hi ean
to reunite sad solidify the party in this
State. s?y -ifi'-' it '; '
The sentiment for Gajnor's nomina
tion by the Democratic state conven
tion, which meets at Rochester on Sep
29, ie almost unanimous up-state, his
friends say. Tbey argue that ibis jpast
pledgee that he would serve out bis
term as mayor witi have to be disre
garded. ,,.'-; "...if V ;:' V :f''' -i:
-He has so far reformed the city gov
ernment that he could turn over the
work to acting mayor Mitchell.' who is
young and ambitious and - would follow
in the lines laid down by mayor Gaynor.
The latter could, if elected governor
co-operate with Mitchell as Mayor,
Democratic politicians who are not
inclined to be sentimental, however,
predict that if Gaynor ia the Demo
cratic nominee for governor William R,
Hearst would run independently against
him, which would give the Republican
candidate a distinct advantage. :

and he invited a friend, Jde Hubert, to
keep watch with him at the bouse, as
he expected the burglar would return. '

ing flat and shortly after 4 o'clock this
morning they heard some oae cry "burglars,"-',-

Geis looking out of his window saw
two men on the fire escape. ' Shouting,
"here they are!"-be opened the door
and called to Wfifslog and Hubert .
Instead of opening the door Weifslog, -badly
frightened stuck his pistol thro'
a-hole from which a lock had been re-;
moved and began firing in the direction ,
of the Geis flat. The first bullet grated
Gels' arm and he called to Weifslog to
stop shooting, but the latter in his ex
citement, did not hear, and the next
bullet killed Mr. Geis.
Tbe daughter, Louise, who was run-.
ning behind her mother, stumbled over
the bod) and this saved her life, as the
third bullet grazed her back as she
went down. Weifslog continued to fire

obened the door and saw that he had
killed his landlady he collapsed
