New York, Oct. 23.-Patrick II
McCarren, state senator and demo-
cratic leader Of Brooklyn, died at St
GATHERINGS hospital Brooklyn. at
lis this morning, never having COM
pletely rallied from the effects of an
operation for appendicitis October
13.
His death was not unexpected. The
senator himself realized throughout
the afternoon and the earlier part of
the night that the end was near.
To the physicians in consultation
over him today he said:
Gentlemen, l know what you have
come for. There is no need for a
consultation. l knew I was dying the
day | walked into this hospital. 1
have made a study of my own case
and l find my trouble is an old heart
and an old stomach. If you replace
them with new ones there might be
a chance Of my getting better"

Senator McCarren's illness is that his
aged mother was not apprised of his
condition. She thinks that the cam
paign has kept him from home and
Senator McCarren had insisted that
she be kept in ignorance for fear that
the shock would be too great for her.
Shortly after midnight he kissed
his two nieces good bye and lapsed
into Inconsistencies. His last re-
quest was that his aged mother be
not told of his death until Monday,
as she is dangerously ill., McCarren
was operated on for appendicitis
year ago and never completely rail-
lied
His body was taken to His Brooklyn
home today. The funeral will take
place Monday at the Church of st.
Vincent De Paul.
Cooper. Lawyer. Politician.
Patrick Henry McCarren. by trade |
a cooper, by profession a lawyer and |
by vocation a politician. was one of |
the most picturesque figures in the !
political history of Greater New |
York. No leader was ever more |
condemned, yet at the close |
Df his 61 years of life, he was prob
ably the most strongly entrenched .
leader in New York state and had
welded some influence in national
politics.
Having mastered the coopers trade
he answered the call to something
more intellectual He took up the
aw and from the law went into pol
tics. In 1882 he was sent to the as
embly and has since served almost
continuously in the legislature. He
vas elected to the senate in 1891. but
wo years later was defeated. When .
lie was elected again in 1895 it was
o stay
Mr.. McCarren first rose to political
in the days when David

ecognized that the state committee

New York. Oct. 22-All three of
New York's mayoralty candidates
William r. Hearst. independent; OF
to T. Barnard. republican. and Will
liam j. Gaynor, democratic, were in
the field again tonight hammering
away with campaign speeches with
election but nine days away
Hearst delivered four speeches in
Brooklyn, having crossed the East
river for the first time since the cam
paign opened; Barnard addressed
seven mass meetings on the East Side
and Gaynor spoke at Long Island City
and at Flushing.
An attack on Gaynor constituted
fully third of Hearst's Brooklyn
speeches. He dwelt on the fact thar
Gaynor had said in his recent address
at Tammany hall that he had not
been aware of the location of the ia
nous wigwam before that evening.
when Judge Gaynor says he did
not know where Tammany hall is"
said Hearst "he is either singularly
inslncere or singularly ignorant. But
l can tell You one thing Judge Gay
nor may not know where Tammany
hall stands but Tammany hall knows
where Judge Gaynor stands or they
would never have nominated him"
Hearst disclosed his ambition to add
TO his string Of newspapers by estab-
fishing one in Brooklyn.
Before my nomination." he said.
II was just preparing to start news
paper in Brooklyn to grow with this
great borough and fight for your in
terests. If | am elected mayor shall |
OF course, have to give up this par
ticular plan, but shall do all can |
as mayor to serve you. II am not |
elected, / shall then go ahead with |
my newspaper idea and do all I can |
as private citizen to serve you"
Barnard Says Hearst Third.
Bannard's prediction that Hearst
will come In third is his first refer
ence to the editor during the cam
paign, although Hearst has attacked
Barnard bitterly. Both are heading
the same fusion ticket.
Gaynor's speeches covered ground
that he has gone over before, and
included his compliments to Hearst
Among tho most interesting Incl
dents of the day was a declaration by
Charles f. Murphy that It was Hearst
who secured the election OF w. ].
Conners as chairman Of the state
committee over p. f. McCabe of AL
bany. Hearst got McCabe out Of the
race by offering to pnt up 100000
as campaign fund, Murphy said. He
told the story up to n certain point,
then dismissed the subject with a
chuckle, saying, "Conners will tell you
the rest. He knows more about 1t
than l do"
David r. HILL who made the IA
nous slogan, "I am democrat"
when he was leader in state politics.
was in New York today with a word
Of praise for Gaynor. l
81 hope Judge Gaynor will be elect !
ed; he is an able man." said the for
ner senator.
