Mayor Gaynor and System Ties Claim in Atlantic City Case
Telegraph report from Philadelphia dated January 11 quotes George A. Ripp asserting Mayor Gaynor ordered Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty to arrest him. Ripp accuses the “System” of pressuring to keep him out of New York while praising Gaynor as honest. He says Gaynor advised Dougherty to act, cites Waldo as Police Commissioner, and argues the Mayor’s stance was eroded by systemic corruption within New York City governance. The tale centers on political intrigue, alleged orders, and the clash between reform and entrenched interests.
