he was staying was kept open after
ito regular season because he was too
i'll to be moved. But whom Mr.. Glove
land was brought back to Princeton

that Mr.. Cleveland's condition aroused
uneasiness on the part Of Mrs. Glove
land. Undoubtedly affected by the
heat, Mr.. Cleveland showed signs Of
failure and Mrs. Cleveland telephoned
to DR.. Bryant, who came over from

at 4:24 p. m.

covered at times only to suffer re-
lapse. This continued throughout the
night and early morning. The last
time he became unconscious was
about two hours before he died. Death
was peaceful. Just before he died Mr..
Cleveland sought to say something,
but hts words were inaudible.
