WASHINGTON SHOCKED.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-'rhe news
| that Vice President Hobart had suf-
fcred severe relapse and might not be
able to survive the latest attack,
shocked Washington, where he Is de-
cidedly popular and highly praised. 1t
had been known for some time that q
sudden attack might completely pros
lrate him at any moment and 1t was
realized that his days of activity We're
over, but nevertheless his friends here
were not prepared for today's advlces.
The vice presidents case was alarm
ing n large part of last winter and at
Thomasllle, Ga, his condition became
SO grave during q visit with the Presil
that it could be no longer concealed
from Mrs. Hobart though kept from
the sick man himself The vice presi-
dent returned earlier than was expect
ed because the southern climate did
not give him the desired relief and has
been almost an invalid ever since.
HIS LOSS WOULD BE FELT.
His loss, should the present attack
result fatally, will be regretted sincere
" by his colleagues In the Senate with
whom he had much greater influence
than his predecessors In the vice pres
dency. One old Senator said tonight
that during his congressional career,
no other person who had filled that po-
sitiOn had been so constant In attend
ance on the Senate's session as Mr..
Hobart. AS a consequence he became
