Washington, Oct. 30.-The news that
Vice President Hobart had suffered a
severe relapse and might not be able
to survive the latest attack, shocked
Washington. where he is decidedly pop
ular and highly respected. 1t had been
known for some time that a sudden
attack might completely PROSTATE him
at any moment, and it was realized
that his. days of activity We're over,
but nevertheless his friends here were
not prepared for today's advices.

Hobart returned north earlier than ex-

did not give him the relief expected
but failed to improve much and has

In spite of the severity of the acct
