Death of Mayor Gaynor on Baltic alters New York politics
Wireless dispatch from New York reports Mayor William J. Gaynor died on the Baltic while on a short vacation. Rufus W. Gaynor describes a heart condition as the cause. The death shifts New York’s political balance by removing a fusion bid and leaving Democrats and fusionists with the field. William J. Gaynor was born in 1872 in Whitestown, New York. The body to be shipped to New York will travel via Cunard to Lusitania, with formal honors in Liverpool.
