New York, Aug. 22.—A piece of bright-colored cambric was the principal clue today in the investigation of the City Hall bomb mystery. This cambric was wrapped around the four sticks of dynamite which were found yesterday in an areaway directly below Mayor Gaynor's window. The bomb was anything but a hoax, for the fuse had been lighted and had gone out just before the spark reached the detonator. The detectives are unable to decide whether the dynamite was meant for the mayor or someone in the marriage license bureau, or was planted as a protest against the city government in general.
