Friends of New York Mayor 1 Are Yet Worried as to Out come of His Wound. Special FV?m n Stsff Cnrre!?i.r>ndent. NEW YORK. September 7.?You might as well have the truth about Mayor j (Javnor. It Is bound to come out In ! time. You read dally of the mayor's improve ment in condition, of his long walks and j all that sort of thins- You may also recall that the bullet lias not been ex trafted from his throat. i The fact if. the mayor is the object i >>f utmost solicitude. The bullet is lodged ; so close to an artery in the throat that | the physicians are afraid to go after it. In a man of his a^e the arteries are brittle and there is danger that in dis lodtfinp the bullet an artery may break and the distinguished patient bleed to j death. Where the Danger Lies. j In allowing the bullet to remain, there is the danger that It may work around j and impinge its metal edge upon an ar i tery. This is the cause of the solicitude t of the mayor's friends. His physical condition is being taken I into account by the politicians; tney sav I that In nominating him for governor they would have to consider very carefully the man for second place. Yet the Gaynor for governor boom i Increasing. l>aily reports come from up j state of the formation of Gaynor clubs everywhere, and unquestionably a pra ? j tical and persistent ? campaign is being 1 conducted in his behalf. The mayor himself remains silent on the subject of his possible candidacy and will give no hint to his closest friends of : his intention as to acceptance of the nomination. Those closest to him, how ever. still continue in their belief that if the convention at Rochester the end of this month shows overwhelming disposi tion to nominate him he will not decline. Hearst's Attitude Uncertain. There continue.'' to be much uncertainty as to the attitude of Mr. Hearst, and some well posted individuals think this accounts, in part, for the mayor's silence. 1 In dome quarters it is declared with j much positiveness that Mr. Hearst will under no considerations .'??pport Mayor Gaynor for governor. Those who enter tain this belief say that If Gaynor is nominated Mr. Hearst will support Roose | velt. I have reason, however, to reiterate a statement made in a dispatch hist week 1 that there is yet possibility of an arraiiRe ment being made by which Mr. Hearst will not oppose Mayor Gaynor if nomi nated for governor. The negotiations referred to at that time have not concluded. It cannot be con fidentially predicted that they will be I successful, but they are still in progress. X. O. M. CHILEANS AMMOURN j DEATH CLAIMS ACTING PRESI DENT OF REPUBLIC. Elias Fernandez Albano a Victim of Pneumonia?In Office Since Montt's Death. SANTIAGO, Chile, September 7.?After an illness of six days with pneumonia, I Vice President Elias Fernandez Albano, who had been acting president of the re public of Chile since the death of Presi dent Pedro Montt at Bremen, Germany, August 1?, died yesterday.

Foreign Excitement Over American Restriction Not Justified by Facts. PARIS. September Robert Racon, '"nitfd States ambassador to France, '?.as received a dispatch from Washing ton regarding the new textile sample regulation? which American consuls In ! Europe recently put into effect and the foreign criticisms of them. It Is un 1 derstood that this communication will !>e transmitted to the American con sulates in England and on the con tinent. While Its contents have not been dis | closed, and while it is unknown whether it involves a modification of the con sular regulations, the communication is understood to be conciliatory In tone and designed to reassure shippers that no injustice to them is intended by the enforcement of the new order. Distorted interpretations of American consular regulations respecting the furnishing by ??xporters of samples of textiles they are sending to this coun try are said to be the cause "f the protests from English and French ex porters. The regulations probably will be further modified if they are shown to present 'insurmountable obstacles," it was stated at the Treasury Depart ment. For mnnv years the consular reguia- ! tions have provided that when the ( value of merdiandise subject to ad ' valorem duty could not b?- accurately j determined by inspection of the invoice ' threr samples should be deposited in the consulate as a basis of valuation! and assessment of customs. The rt-gu- j lations were not strictly enforced, so ; instructions were issued last May to j consuls to insist on the furnishing of sampl'-s. Subsequently, in response to re'ports from exporters, the regulations were modified so as to make certain excptions, to require only type samples, and to reduce the number and size of samples. Now further modifications are demanded by the exporters, and the department is giving the matter much attention. According to a decision by Mayor Nor fleet of Suffolk, Va., a passenger on a tran cannot be convicted of trespass for ?riding and refusing to surrender his ticket, provided the basts of such refusal ba that he is not furnished a seat. mm m 1?
