over sea Oh the steamer Baltic in the
hope of regaining his strength to enter

as candidate for reelection, died
suddenly on the Baltic. as the steamer
was within few hundred miles of the
Irish coast Thursday afternoon. The
first news Of his death, flashed by
wireless and relayed by cable from
Europe, stated that he had succumbed
to heart failure. That the mayors
heart had been in q weakened condi-
ton for years was the statement Of
physicians who treated him at the
time he was shot in the neck and al.
most done to death by an insane dis
charged employe of the city in August,
1910. They would not declare their
belief that the wound inflicted by the
assassin's bullet had led directly to
his death but did affirm that his gen
eral resistance had been lessened
thereby TO very great extent.
