MULRY WON'T RUN WITH HIM. Manhattan Man Suggested for Controller Says He Will Not Be a Candidate. There was a noticeable lack of Gaynor enthusiasm about Tammany Hall to-day. Boss Murphy was rather indifferent about the candidacy of the Brooklyn Jurist and his henchmen were quick to not the change and to follow his lead. Come of the wise leaders remarked that It was not so certain that Gaynor would be nominated by Tammany after all.

It became known to-day that Thomas M. Mulry Is not a candidate for the controllership, and will not permit his name to be used on a ticket headed by Judge Gaynor. Mulry is the president of the Immigrants Bank, In Manhattan, a Tammany Hall man and very Influential In Catholic circles. It was reported yes- terday that Murphy proposed to put lulry on the ticket with Justice Gay nor. "All I care to say," said Mulry.

when tasked about the matter to-day. "is that 11 will not be a candidate for any office this year." Murphy denied to-day that Justices Carr and Keough had urged him to secure the nomination for Gaynor. as re ported. The Tammany Hall leader alsc said that he had heard nothing about the wishes of the Brooklyn democracy, and gave out other bits of information. "Is Judge Gaynor still a candidate?" Murphy was asked.

"Haven't heard that he has withdrawn, have you?" quizzed Murphy, carelessly. "What do you find is the sentiment about Gaynor in the Tammany organization?" wa3 another question. Murphy Will Discuss Gaynor Later On. "I will tell you about that later on," quickly replied Murphy. "Is It true, as reported, that Justices Carr and Keough have urged the nomination of Gaynor?" "Not to me.

Neither of them has said a work to me along this line." "Have you heard anything from the Brooklyn organization about Metz, Gaynor or any other possible candidates?" "Not a word. If they want anything they haven't told me about it." The possibility of Justice Gaynor being dropped by Tammany Hall is being talked about now by the very men who last week were saying that It was all over and that his selection by Murphy was settled. The knowledge that Hearst will fee against Gaynor, if the latter ie nominated by Tammany, has strengthened the suspicion that the Tammany leaders are easting ubout for a new candidate. shrewd poJician. "Tammany has cleverly outwitted the opposition.

Murphy Is in a position to drop Gaynor overboard If he wants to do to. The gossip about Tammany' intending to name the judge has forced the hands of the and the fusion-isis. They have made It apparent that they don't intend to nominate Gaynor. As soon us it is certain that Gaynor Is out. of the running with the other parties, he will be dependent on Tammany, or will have to run it alone.

May Drop Gaynor Overboard. "It looks as though the Republicans and Fusionists would nominate a comparatively weak ticket that Is. they have no great vote getter In sight for the mayoralty nomination. After their convention has adjourned without nominating Gaynor, Tammany's plans may undergo a change. Why should Murphy risk the hostility of Gaynor as Mayor? Why nominate him at all? With Stlmson.

or Whitman, or Ivins running on the Fusion ticket Tammany could afford to take a chance on a candidate less popular and less hostile than Gaynor." If the views of the politician quoted In the foregoing should turn out to be truthfully prophetic, it may bo necessary for Judge Gaynor to depend on an Independent nomination at the hands of the nine business men, to whose hands he his committed his candidacy. These men, by the way. have done nothing to promote the judge's candidacy. FURLONG CASE POSTPONED. Jail Business Pressing Grand Jury Will Delay Trial of Accused Magistrate.

The Grand Jury was In session all this morning, but they did not take up the charges against Magistrate Furlong as was expected when Justice Crane yesterday held the magistrate. Assistant District Attorney Elder, who will have charge of the matter in the Grand Jury room said this morning that there was so much jail business pressing upon the Grand Jury's attention that it would be several days before the Grand Jurors would have a let up. Mr. Elder, too, said that there was much in the testimony taken before Justice Crane that he wished to read over In meaiuiuie. MOTHER ACCUSES SON.

INTENDS TO WAIT FOR COOK.

If the Doctor Issues a Statement, Peary Declares, He Will "Nail Him." Battle Harbor, Labnu.lor, September 14 (By Wireless Telegraph to Cape Ray, N. "I am the only white man who has ever reached the North Pole, and-1 am prepared to prove It." This statement was made to tho representative of the Associated Press by Commander Robert E. Peary in reply to a question on the Peary-Coolc controversy. The Associated Press tug Douglas Thomas, after a stormy passage up tho west coast of New Foundland and through the Strait of Blle Isle from Sydney, Cape Breton, arrived at this lonely whaling and mission settlement at noon yesterday. A squall or rain was blowing over the harbor as the Thomas steamed In, but with glasses It was possible to make out the mast and hull of the Arctic steamer Roosevelt moored in the Inner bay.

Congratulations Signaled to tho Roosevelt. The Thomas broke out the "North Pole" flag, the same emblem that was flying from the mizzenmast of the Roosevelt, and signaled "The Associated Press congratulates you." The Roosevelt then signaled the thnnks of Commander Peary for this message, whereupon the Thomas gave three loud blasts on her whistle. In response there came from the Roosevelt a chorus of barking and yelping from the Eskimo dogs on board, that echoed back from the surrounding hills. The Thomas drew near to the Roosevelt. The Arctic steamer looked little thi worse for her second trip to the Polar regions.

Along the rail were gathered the members of her famous crew, among them tho redoubtable Captain Robert Bartlett, who was at once recognized. Correspondent Meets Peary on Steamer. Captain Bartlett Invited the Thomas to lay alongside and the correspondent to come on board without delay. The correspondent clambered over the weather beaten bulwarks and proceeded otrect to the cabin to meet Commander Peary, the man who has i tood upon the apex of the surface of the world. The commander's greeting was most cordial.

"This is a new record in newspaper enterprise," he said, "and I appreciate the compliment." The correspondent at on.ee began questioning the successful explorer regarding the merltB of Dr. Frederick Cook's claim to have reached the Pole. The commander declared positively that would not further discuss this subject until the main point, whether Dr. Cook had actually reached the North Pole op not had been decided by others. Ho then dictated the following stateinctff to the Associated Press for publication: Peary Says He Is Only White Man Bench Pole.

I am tho only white man who has eve reached the North Pole, and I am pre- Pared to Prove at DroPer tima I have already stated publicly that Cook has not been to the Pole. This I reaffirm, and I will stand by It, but I decline to discuss the details of the matter. These will come out later. I have said that Dr. Cook's statement that he had reached the role should not be taken seriously, and that I 'have him nailed' by concrete proofs to support my statement.

In six months you probably will get the whole story. It would not be policy for me to enter upon a full debate with the subject as it now stands. To do so I would be giving out much information of which other uses could be made. Intends to Wait Until Cook Makes Statement. "I Intend to wait until Dr.

Cook has issued his full authorized statements. Up to the present time there have been only newspaper accounts of Dr. Cook's alleged Polar trip, and these may or may not be accurate. When Dr. Cook has ttmo to issue a complete aulhorized version of his journey will be the proper opportunity for me to make public the Information which I have.

After that the Jury, In other worda, the people and the scientific bodies of the world, will pass judgment on the matter, and there will then be nothing left of Dr. Cook's case but his own assertions that he has reached th North Pole. In the meanwhile It Is my determination not to deal with debates for the reasons already stated. Unknown Continent May Exist Far ther West. Commander Peary was then asked If new laud could have been discovered In latitude S4, longitude 86.

In reply he shrugged his shoulders and said it was quite possible that an unknown continent tlsted farther west. He referred to iba FATALITY ON NEW Ironworker Falls to His Death From Manhattan Structure. A.

J. SISTERS MAY SOON MEET. Flushing Woman Gets Clew to Whereabouts of Sister Long Separated From Her. Mrs. Joseph Nlbbs, the wife of an In spector employed by the New York and Queens Railway Company, who resides at 74 North Prince street, Flushing, and whose maiden name was May Morgan, is making every effort to ascertain the whereabouts of her sister, Margaret Morgan, who was many years ago adopted by Clarence Moore, a prominent resident of Montreal, where the Morgans resided In their girlhood.

The two sisters were separated upon the death of their father, thirty years ago. Mr. Moore adopted Margaret, and May remained with her mother. Owing to the difference in their social poslMon. the sisters drifted away from each other, and Mrs.

Nibbs had not heard from her sister Margaret until yesterday, when she learned that Margaret was now the wife of a Mr. Barnes, who is said to be a wealthy stockholder in the Canadian Pa-eiflc Railroad. Mrs. Nibbs expects to locate Mrs. Barnes and arrange a meeting with her in the very near future.

Every rumor and each slightest clue Is being followed to the end. It Is reported from the hospital that Fanny Intualno has somewhat recovered from of her long n'ght vigil, the pain from her Vound nd the operation which she underwent, and It is believed that later iu the day it will be possible to secure- from her a better description of the murderer than has yet been had.

But the authorities place little hope upon that, for theyp are not of the belief that a girl of six can give such description as will aid them greatly In tracking the criminal. The physicians state that she has considerable fever, and that it may be necessary to postpone any questioning until later in the week. FARMER'S WIFE BEATEN. Negro Employe Attacks Her and Robs House Near Marlton, N. J.

Mount Holly, N. September 14 Attacked In the yard at her farm house near Marlton and beaten into insensibility, carried to the house, gagged, bound hand and foot and then placed between two beds on the second floor, where she would be helpless until found, Mrs. William H. Mortland, 30 years old, was thus brutally treated yesterday as a part of the plan of Samuel Layfleld, a negro, an employe of the farm, to rob the house during the absence of the woman's husband on a trip to Moorestown, near here. The negro found a gold watch and chain and $50 in money and with these be left In the direction of Moorestown.

On the road he met Mortland returning home, and to keep him away from the house he told him tba: a man had called at the house to buy the team of mules that the farmer had to sell but had tired of waiting and had gone to Moorestown to meet Mortland. The farmer, taking advantage of the probability of a sale, turned about and took Layfleld into Moorestown with him so the prospective purchaser would not be missed. The two waited for nearly two hours without success and then Mortland decided to return home. The negro boarded a westbound trolley car and has not neen seen since. During all this time Mrs.

Mortland lay helpless between the two beds and almost unable to breathe. She Buffers from nervous shock "OLD BLACK JIM" DEAD. Well-Known Sayville Negro Lived to Be 85 Years Old.

"Jim" was burled here yesterday, with due ceremony, and his remains were followed by his old village friends to their resting place In Union Cemetery. MILK FLOODS STREET. George Huneke.

23 years old of 2S5 Classon avenue, while driving a milk wagon late yesterday afternoon, made too short a turn from Bergen street into Fourth avenue and as a result his wagon toppled over and the contents of his milk cans were spread over the top of what Is expected some day to be the Fourth avenue subway. Huneke received contu sions about the left wrist and ankle but was otherwise uninjured. Ambulance Surgeon Graham of Seney Hospital responded to a call for help but Huneke did not need any.

S. Commission Cives Out De tails of Proposed Route Across Queensboro Bridge. TO START AT BATTERY And Go Up West Side of Manhattan and Across Town to Long Inland City. The details of the route of an entirely new subway which will be of immense Importance to the Borough of Queens was made public by the Public Service Com mission to-day. The Queensboro Bridge Is an important link In the new plan which will probably afford the ftTBt opportunity Queens has had In getting a subway system In that borough.

The proposed route will enable people from Queens to travel from that locality across town In Manhattan down the West Side to the Battery. 1 All the details have not been completed The engineers are still working on them, but they-are In such shape that the cora-ml8soln felt It could give out the route of the proposed subway. The new route is to extend from the Battery through Hudson street and Eighth avenue, and across the cljy at Fifty-ninth street and the Queensboro Bridge, crossing the bridge and alon Jackson avenue In the Borough of Queens, where It Is contemplated that extensions In the direction of Corona and Flushing may be made, and perhaps In the direction of Astoria. The plans call for two tracks at Fifty-ninth street and across the bridge to Queens County, and at the same time provide for an extension up Eighth avenue as far as may be necessary. The primary design of this route is to afford through rapid transit for Queens County, maklni use of the Queensboro Bridge, built by the city with public money, and at the same time, by coming down Eighth avenue to afford the necessary transportation facilities for the people who will be using the Pennsylvania station.

Route Entirely Feasible From Engineering Viewpoint. The plans, as thus far prepared by the engineers of the commission, show that the proposed route is entirely feasible from an engineering point of view, although It Is noted that. In going through Fifty-ninth street and rising from Second avenue up onto the Queensboro Bride, It will be necessary for the trains to climb a grade of 5.7 per a heavier grade than is usually found In rapid transit operation. The heavy grade, of course, makes It somewhat more difficult to use the elevated tracks on the Queensboro Bridge. The commission has not, as yet, adopted tne.

rormauy, but it If. anticipate that It will very shortly take iorraal action and will send It to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment tor its pp-pnival. Comprehensive Subway System for Queens Once Laid Out. The old Rapid Transit Commission before It went out of office laid out a comprehensive system of subways In the Borough of Queens. It Is some of these old routes on the north side connecting all the towns between the Queens 4er-minus of the bridge and Flushing that the commission probably had In mind when It laid out this new route from Manhattan over the bridge.

Another feature of the proposed route which should make it an excellent business venture is the close proximity which the proposed subway would to the business sections of Manhattan, the new Pennsylvania Railroad terminal In Manhattan and the fact that in Fifty-ninth street it would cross the Inter-borough subway at Columbus circle. Even if the proposed subway Is only built to the Jackson avenue terminus of the Queensboro Bridge it would be of Immense advantage to the people in Queens. If the Interborough Company were to bid on its construction and operation, pending the extension of the subway In other parts of Queens, some amicable arrangement could be made to transfer passengers from the New York and Queens County Railway, which Is controlled by the Interborough, to the new subway. MASONS FELL 30 FEET. Tumbled From Falling Scaffold at Ridgewood Heights and Escaped Death.

Two masons at work on a scaffold on the outside of the new German Apostolic Church, at Cornelia street and Wyckoff avenue, Ridgewood Heights, Queens, were thrown to the ground, a distance of thirty feet, this morning by the breaking of a bracket to the scaffold. The men were unconscious when picked up, and it was at first supposed they were dead, but an examination by Am bulance Surgeon Hammer of the German Hospital, who answered an ambulance call, showed that one, Richard Nuhydock, of 47 Broad street, Maspeth, had possible fracture of the right thigh and some bad bruises, and that the other, Robert Goettells, of the same address, had es caped with lacerations of the head and contusions of the body. Both men were removed to their homes in the ambulance, declining to go to the hospital. The men are natives of Scotland and are 29 and 28 years old, respectively. The scaffold was a new one and was used for the first time this morning.

It was furnished by the contractor, Peter Van Dyke, and was supposed to be In perfect condition. The escape of the men from fatal injury, if not death, was regarded as almost miraculous by the witnesses to the accident. ENGINEER TILLS0N A HERO. He Was Right on the Job When "the Center of Oscillation Became Changed." The modesty of Chief Engineer G. W.

Tillson of the Bureau of Highways has helped conceal the facts In a rescue th-i Brooklyn man made in New Hampshire. The following is clipped from the Coos County, N. News: "By the quick action of City Engineer Tillson of New York City a very serious accident was averted one day last week at Martin Meadow Pond. As Mrs. Arthur F.

Odlin was about to take her seat 'n the stern of a small canoe, the center of oscillation became changed and she was plunged into the lake where the water was less than fifty feet deep.

A boy of 13. who started a course In the Boys High School yesterday, was caught later In the afternoon by Miss Grace Berg, one of the detectives In a department store on Fulton street, with his pockets filled with booty he had picked from the counters. There were several boys in the gang, but they ail got away except David Coyne of 307 Pennsylvania avenue, who was arraigned In the Children's Court this morni'm, charged with Juvenile delinquency. He pleaded guilty and Judge Ryan remanded him to the care of the society until Friday for final disposition of the case. Miss Berg said she had watched the boy with several others at different times running In and out of the store during the last two weeks, but was never vsry sure they got things from the counte-s until yesterday afternoon, when she watched the boy for about an hour and saw him slip articleB In his pockets, among other' things a pocketbook, a bracelet, writing pens, stickpins and small notions lying on the counters.

She followed the boys out of the store and caught the Coyne boy and found several articles in his pockets. The boy had never been arrested before, though he is said to have been In the gang with two other boys who were sent to the Disciplinary Training School last spring. He pleaded to be let go and promised to beat his way to Baltimore on the freights if given the chance. One of his old boon companions, by the name of Jaffrcy, is in that city now and went by the same method, it Is said. Miss Berg was obdurate.

It Is her business to watch out for shoplifters and many a plea has she turned a deaf ear to In her professslonal career. She took the boy Into the Btore and telephoned for a detective from the local headquarters where the boy was taken and searched and then sent to the care of the S. P. C. C.

This morning he appeared very spick and span before the judge and told a very frank story of his brief and disastrous career as a shoplifter. It did not affect him visibly until he tame to the part that he had started in at the Boys High School yesterday and the thought that this will probably cut very short his career at high school broke him up. He struggled manfully with the shame and chagrin of it all and told the judge the names of his "pals," as he was told very promptly to do. The family had had a house at Rock-away Beach this summer and got back only two weeks ago so the two boys could start school. The father is a well known dentist and he was very much affected this morning When he had to appear with his oldest son before the bar of Justice.

He said David Is a very bright bov. as his record of admittance to high school before he Is fourteen shows. The father said he never suspected there was any- tning wrong with the boy or his companions until he was notified of the ar rest yesterday. HOLD GIRL AS VAGRANT. Lillian Topple, 15 years old, who says she lives at 345 Twenty-third street, was found this morning at 3 o'clock in the company of three grownup men, who are thought to have been under the Influence of liquor.

Officer Walter Manley of the Fifth avenue station did not think that the girl was in proper company, and he took her Into his custody for-safekeeping. mis morning Magistrate Geismar postponed a hearing in her case. The girl Is being detained on a technical charge of vagrancy pending an in the House of the Good Shepherd. ABMY BALLOON LANDS.

WOMAN FATALLY BURNED Mrs. Payne, Falling With Lighted Lamp, Horribly Injured by Flames.

Relatives Return From Shopping Tour Too Late to Save Life Aged Victim. Mrs. Mary Payne, 64 years old, of 337 Twelftn street, died this morning In the Seney Hospital as the result of frightful burns. Mrs. Payne was living with her son, William Payne, her son's wife and a ten-year-old nephew by the name cf Thomas Sweeney.

Last evening the elder woman was left alone in the house, and at 8:30 o'clock she started to go to bed. She picked up a kerosene oil lamp and started to climb the stairs to the second story. When she reached the top of the Btairway she fell in what is believed to have been an epileptic fit. The oil lamp toppled over and the fiery liquid quickly Ignited her clothing. As she lay groaning, the victim of the flames, her daughter-in-law and nephew returned from a shopping tour, and hearing the groans, hastened up the stairs.
