President Sends Condolences.
President Coolidge, Immediately
upon learning of the death of the
Senator yesterday, sent the following
CeieBTan TO MIS- McCOrmlck-
In common with all his many
friends, l am inexpressibly shocked
to learn of the sudden death of Sena-
tor Mccormick. Such a tragic terni-
nation of a career which, despite his
comparative youth, had already
marked him as a man of brilliant
parts and distinguished abilities, is
genuine loss both to his State and to
the country. Mrs Coolidge joins me
in To oil OF of
his family profoundest sympathy and
condolences"
Among the first to call at the hotel
after the Senator's death became
known were Representative Long
worth of Ohio. Senator Mckinley of
Illinois and the. Countess Eleanor
Gizycka.
The cause of death was first given
by DR.. Noble P. Barnes, who was
summoned and examined the body, as
gastric hemorrhage. Coroner j. Ram
sey hewitt, however, who came to the
hotel later in the day, issued a GER
tificate of death from heart trouble:
myocarditis and acute cardiac dilata-
ton. The coroner gave it as his
opinion that evidence at first thought
to indicate gastric hemorrhage was
probably caused by a cut on the SEN
ators chin, which might have result
ed from aifall.
May Have Suffered Vertigo.
The Senator, who had been heard
moving about early in the morning,
might have suffered an attack of YER
tigo, in the opinion of the coroner;
fallen, and then made his way back
to bed, where he expired.
The Senator was understood to
have sustained a cut on his chin
while playing polo within his children
in Chicago last week. The body was
removed from the hotel to the home
of the countess last evening.
In recent months Senator McCor-
mick's health has not been good and
some of his friends said he had been
greatly depressed by political devel-
opments. Last Summer he was de-
feated for denomination for the SEN
ate and was to have retired Wednes-
day.
Since the opening of this session of
Congress his name had been brought
forward for European diplomatic
post, and his confidants said he had
hoped to be made Ambassador to
Great Britain. When Ambassador
Houghton was transferred to London,
they said he had aspired to the am
bassadorship to Berlin, but word had
come to him that another also was to
get that post.
Until Monday Senator Mccormick had
been absent from the Senate for two
weeks or more, having visited his
mother at her Winter home in Flor
ida and then gone to Chicago to be
with his family for a week. He re-
turned here Sunday and cast his last
vote in the Senate Monday.
