PAT M'CARREN rs DEAD;
KNEW HE WAS DYING

NEW YORK, Oct. % Patrick H. Nc
Carren. state senator and Democratic
leader of Brooklyn. died at St GATHERINGS
hospital, Brooklyn. at lis o'clock this
morning never having completely rallied
from the effects of an operation for APP
pendicitis which was performed on Octo-
Der Is. His death was not unexpected; i'll
fact the senator himself realized through
out the afternoon and the earlier part
or the night that his end was near.
Senator McCarren remained fully con-
scious all day He said to the physicians
in consultation over him:
Gentlemen, 1 know what you have
come here for. There is no need for a
consultation / knew / was dying the day
walked into this hospital. / have made
a study of my own case, and l find that
my trouble is an old heart and an old
stomach. II you replace them with new
ones there might be a chance of my get
ting better
One of the pathetic features of Senator
McCarren's illness was that his aged
mother was not apprised of his condition.
She thought that the campaign had kept
him from home, and Senator McCarren
had insisted that she be kept in igno-
rance for fear that the shock would be
too great for her.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Fears which
State Senator Patrick II. McCarreR. who
expired early today following an opera
ton for appendicitis, expressed on his
death bed. were realized today when the
news of his death was broken to his
aged mother.
Mrs. McCarren collapsed on learning
the fact, and this afternoon her physician
said her condition was critical. Until
today Mrs. McCarren did not even know
that her son was Ill. She is 81 years old
and infirm.
