Mr.. Moran was taken suddenly III
Tuesday night. He then admitted to his
family that ne had been suffering from
acute abdominal pains for several daye
The pain lessened Tuesday morning and
he thought nothing more of it. He at
tended the funeral of Frank Bowling
President Of the Borough of Manhattan
and in the evening spoke at political
meeting In Manhattan. AS he finished
he complained Of Illness, and a few OF
his friends, alarmed at his condition
took him to his home, at 1886 st. Law

Mr., Morans mother and sister were
greatly alarmed, and summoned DR..

DR.. OGrady after diagnosing the case
as appendicitis, summoned DR.. Amster
former Commissioner of Health, in con-
sultation. When Mr.. Moran was in
formed, OF the decision to operate. he
smiled, making the request only that the
Rev. Father Daniel Curley accompany
him and remain with him during the
operation. Father Curley is pastor of
Our Lady of Solace Church OF Van Nest
He was summoned and acceded to the
request,
The physicians advised Lincoln Hos
pital to prepare for the operation and
moved the patient in a private ambu-
lance. Mr.. Moran was on the operating
table just an hour. At the end of that
time the physicians stated that the oper-
alton had apparently been successful.
Later 1t was announced to the crowd OF
anxious friends who had come to the
hospital that Mr.. Moran was recovering
from the effects of the ether, and was
doing as we'll as could be expected.
The seriousness of Mr.. Moran's con-
dition lies in the time that elapsed be-
fore the illness developed and the time
at which he was stricken. Had he con-
suited a physician when the pains first
attacked him the operation would have
been fraught with less danger.
1t was recalled that Mayor Mitchell
when he was president OF the Board OF
Aldermen, was also stricken with appen-
