\) CAUGHT NAPPING, MAYOR DECLARES, BY LONG VESSELS Gaynor Tells Port Officers! New York Will Accommo- date 1,000-Foot Ships. RIVALRY, IS KEEN.| Every Dock Commissioner De- clares His City Has Best Port in the World. | Ae friendly rivals, but none the lees &yvowed rivals, each man looRing to the fnterests of his own harbor first and the Test afterward, seventy-five of the most Aigtinguished port officers and dock commissioners from the Atlantic to the | Pacific met in the Chamber of Com- merce Bullding to-day for a three-day conference. They met to discuss plans | for the improvement of harbors, but the only impartial delegates present were army engineers, revenue cutter captains | ‘and representatives of the Bureau of | Commerce and Labor in Washington. Mayor Gaynor, who presided, recog- nized the armed neutrality which ex isted at the conference and brought | Good feeling by humorous reference to the rivalry which existed. “The principal port of the South” proved fn turn to be Norfolk, Savannah, Jacksonville, Richmond and any plac else where the particular speaker cam from. And all were serious. | “I know you are rivals, and I don't | fee what you're driving at," sald Mayr | Gaynor, “but you probably have an idea | back of It all somewhere. We are go: Ing to talk of docks and harbors. They ay we are much behind Liverpool in the matter of dooks. Not so. Liver- pool's docks are much inferlor because of the lock syaten which only allows vessels to enter at high tide. There ts! @ tide fall of twenty-nine feet. What | do you think would happen,” turning to | Calvin Tompkins, Dock Commissio “if the Hudson dropped twenty-nine fe some night? “London is away behind us. We have | the best harbor in the world, but we've | been caught napping. Ships are being | built which are too long for our dock The Government has established a line beyond which we may not build, They have granted us a hundred feet, but e.

In the midst »f the jumble of ideas and personalities, when the delays were piling up a sharp faced bald man with & strong voice arose. “I'm Dwyer of San Francisco," he announced, There was a lull. “Too much talk and no action here, gentle- men,” he began. “I came all the way here to talk harbors. There ts too quch rivalry. I object to tt, We must ‘be co-opeerators if we will get any- where. If one harbor gets quantity he other harbor needn't think the ad revenue fe directly taken from it; one has the @ame chance as another. “Inatead of all this time wasted, let the Chair attend to committees and we'll begin to talk docks. “We want men for officers who will be permanent. The life of Dock Com- misstoners usualiy depends on the suc- cess of the political administration which appointed them." “On that ground,” said Collector Loeb, arising, “my name should be taken off the committee.
