 With Staggering Suddenness.
 The suddenness of Secretary Hays death was staggering. At the hour of 12 all was quiet In another moment nurses and physicians found them selves summoned to find their distin- guished patient dead.
 The Secretary yesterday had passed the bedside. There had been q col lapse. Twenty-Five minutes later all was over. So swiftly had the end come that the dying man passed away un- attended by any of the members of his family, save his wife. The others. a son and daughter. were summoned,
 The sick man was breathing with great difficulty. Dr. Scudder was speedily summoned and 1t required but a glance for him to determine that the end was but minutes away. The house. hold was aroused. The wife reached her husband as he was breathing his last The son, Clarence E. Hay. and the daughter, Mrs. James A. Wads- worth of Genesee. N. Y, hurried into the sick room, but they were too late
 Death was caused by pulmonary embolysm, according to Dr. Scudder The patient did not suffer greatly in his last moments. Aside from great difficulty in breathing there was no struggle. Stimulants were inefrective The Secretary lapsed into unconscious ness and seemed to fall asleep at last.
 The consternation of the household was complete. After two hours the physician was driven to the village, where half a dozen telegrams were dispatched. The first went to Presi- dent Roosevelt at Oyster Bay The second was addressed to the State De- partment al Washington. Others were sent to friends of the family.
 The bulletin announcing the death read as follows:
 Secretary of State John Hay died at 1925 this morning. The signs inn mediately preceding his death were those of pulmonary empolysm. Mir Hays condition during all ,S Friday had been entirely satisfactory.

 The Illness in March.
 The illness which so weakened Mir. Hays physical powers as to bring about death made itself noticeable about last March. Tired and worn from the strain of overwork. he was ordered by his physicians to make a trip abroad in order to obtain special treatment and complete rest. Some indication of the secretarys condition was to be found in his collapse on the steamer pier in New York city just as he was about to board the White Star liner Cedric bound for the Mediterran- can. Secretary Hay. however was de- termined to continue his trip, and he was carried on board to his cabin He improved. and finally went to Bad Nauheim. where he took the baths and seemed to be improving. The return from Europe was made about a fort night ago. Secretary Hay visited his daughters residence at Bay Side. L. |, and few days later he went to Wash ington to take up for a brief period his duties as Secretary of State Last Saturday evening he arrived at his summer home here. accompanied by his son, Clarence. Mrs. Hay had pre- ceded him.
 The journey fatigued the Secretary, however, and furthermore while trav- cling he contracted a slight cold When MT. Hay suddenly collapsed on the afternoon of the roiIowing day, his wife and son became greatly alarmed. local practitioner. Dr. L. J. Cain. of Newport, was immediately summoned As another precaution Mrs. Hay summoned by telegraph from Boston pr. Charles L. Scudder and Dr. Frederick T. Murphy. surgeons on the stan of the Massachusetts general hospital At first an operaron was deter mined upon, but with the administra- ton of powerful medicines some re- lief came and it was soon found that an operation could be avoided.
