New York, Nov. 4-Hugh J. Grant twice Mayor of New York, died of heart disease last night at his home 20 East Seventy-second Street.
 When he came home from his office at. 54 Wall street yesterday after noon MT. Grant complained of feel ing i'll. but he said he thought the dis tress would speedily pass away. In. stead it grew worse, and at about 1O:3O o'clock Mrs. Grant insisted that h-s physician, Dr. George Montague Swift of 20 West Fifty-ifth street. be sent for. Before Dr. Swift reached the house Mir. Grant was dead. Mrs Grant who is a daughter of ex-Sen- ator Edward Murphy of Troy. and their three children. Julia. Edna and Hugh J. Grant, Jr., were with him when he died
 Twenty years ago Hugh John Grant was a master in Tammany Hall and a central figure in the politics of this city. He ran for Mayor four times and was twice elected and twice de- feated. His honorable course as an Alderman in opposition to the bood- lers of 1884 won him such standing that Tammany nominated him eager ly time and time again for the high est office in the city. In recent years all of his time to the management of his real estate interests.
 MT. Grant was born in this city at BOT West Twenty-seventh street in December, 1858. His father was a dealer in real estate. He went to school in West Twenty-eighth street and at 16 went to Germany for a

course in a Berlin gymnasium. He came back to New York and studied College in West Sixteenth street At 20 he entered the Columbia Law school and after two years study be- gan to practise.
 Tn 1883. he ran for Alderman as the Tammany candidate in the Nineteenth district He was renOminSted and elected easily It was in that board that the coupon frauds in the Comp troller's office were discovered and in their discovery young Grant was in strumenta1. Tn 1884 the franchises of the ferries and street railroads were practically sold al private auction by the Aldermen, the most celebrated of the scandals being the Broa GWay Railroad franchise. Grant actively and consistently opposed the boodling and made his name familiar to the citizens of New York. He was one of the two Aldermen who voted against the poodle combination in the Board of Aldermen which gave Ja- cob Sharp the franchise to build hss railroad in Broadway

 It was Hugh J. Grant who made the telephone and telegraph cOmparief take down their overhead wires. The wires formed a network over the city: inter fering with firemen and forming a dan ger and a nuisance. When the sub ways were ready and the wires did not come down Mayor Grant settled the controversy in a characteristic way. He went out with gangs of lnemen. Ia borerS and axemen and chopped down the poles and tore down the wires.
