The third ticket programme falls to pieces and leaves tire fleld to the two opposing candidates, MoCall of Tammany end Mitchel of the Fusion forces. ‘There remaing one uncertain quan- tity, In thie sudden shift of the situ- ation {t was considered by some poll- telans that an opportunity je opened for Mr. Hearst to enter the race as a third candidate on @ ticket of his own, with- out taking with him Prendergast and McAneny. But this is highly p.oblem- atical and would require Mr. Hearet to oppose his own favorite—Mitchel, Norman Hapgood, chairman of the Fusion committee, when informed of the news said: “This i» hardly the time to discuss political situations in the face of so suiden and #0 tragic an occurrence. Rather is it a time for expression of regrets and sorrow over the death of the city’s chiet magistraie—a man of brillant accomplishments. MAKES COMPLETE CHANGE IN POLITICAL OUTLOOK, “Tet it is inevitable that consideration will be given to the complete change in political @orces, It would seem that the Mayor's death must leave the field aolely to two candidates—Mitchel and MoUall. We believe that this eudden clearing away of complications renders pl nd clear the course of the Fusion movement and that it ls immeasurably atrengthened.” Fire Commissioner Joseph Johnson, who was Mayor Gaynor’s political man- ager, was stunned $y ‘thé ‘howe of bis chief's death. “I can't talk about it; I can't say anything,” he exclaimed. “I am ovor+ come~stunned. Don't ask me what it will mean politically, I don't know. TI oan’t talk about anything.” Chairman 8. & Koenig of the Re- publican County Committees was much affected by the news. “It ls not a time to discuss politics” he said. “I can only speak now of the sorrow and regret that all good citizens must feel in thie hour over the Geath of the Mayor. It ts & tragedy and a loss to the city. It will in- evitably cause great change In the po- litical situation but discussion of that Duase must be left to another day.” BENNET DISMAYED BY DEATH OF THE MAYOR. ‘William 8. Bennet, former Congress- man, and leader of the Gaynor boom within the Republican ranks, could only eaprese sorrow at the tragedy. “Four years of incessant labor for the city.” he said, “and the lingering effect of an aseasein’s bullet have ended o brave struggle. Our city has lost a good Mayor; public life fearless man. Mayor Gaynor lice dead ip the harness.” John Purroy Mitchel, Fusion candi- Gate for Mayor, in the Adirondack woods, When he left town last Satur- day he told his associates he was going to cut loose frem all lines of communication for a week in order to secure complete rest, His friends are endeavoring to reach him by telegraph and telephone with messages gent to a dosen places. All political arrangements for to-day that had been made by various parties were postponed on account of the Mayor's death. Comptroller Drender- gant and Borough President McAneny had arranged for @ conference with Gaynor leaders to dlacuss the proposi- thon of having thelr names put on the Mayor's ticket. They met early in the morning with Fire Commissioner John- son and Jacob H. Schiff, representing the Gaynor League, but separated in o short time without discussing politica, “We were all atunned by the news,” wald Mr. McAneny, any of the conferrees knew of the traxic happening when they started for the meeting. Then the report seemed to come upon us from all aides. We did) ~ not presume to speak the and all left deeply grieved. Mr. Schiff had tears in he left the meeting room to be excused from pay’ thie time. Boon afterward ther ing of Gaynor supportere In the City Hall, “The chi¢t hes fallen,” Jacob Cantor eaid, “but the cause must go on, leadership, dut it canuot be allowed to drop.” Henry Clowes added: “The principles invoived in the Mayors campaign can- not be permitted to lapse. We must do eomething and act quickly, #o that the movement will not be halted. J never saw @ man advance so rapidiy in public favor as Mayor Gaynor had done durt he past few weeks.

SITUATION LIKE THAT IN THE GEORGE CAMPAIGN. ‘The eituation was likened by peliti- clans to the surden death of Henry George, third party candidate for Mayor in 1897, the Suaday night before election. Although his followers were enthusiastic the previous day over his chances of victory, the movement fell away #0 rap idly that Henry George jr, who took his father’s place, received only 21,000 voter. The regular Reputtican organisation leaders who had been making propara- ons for a contest between Mitchel and Gaynor In the Republican primaries next week, relaxed their activities be- cause it wus at once apparent that there would be only t.2 mame of Mitchel to be presented to the enrolled voters. Former Senator Martin Maze, who represents Mr. Mitchel in the Repuoll- said: to the city. We all mourn his untimeiy death. At the same time It clears the e in the Mats and the formal nomination of Mr. Mitchel apparentiy becomes a perfunce tory operation.

For twenty-five years Mayor Gaynor has given his services unstintedly to the people of his city and the results of his work will be manifest for many years to come.
