UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Aug. 1O.-Attended
in death by the man for whom he
made his last political effort,
George f. Brennan, one of the
Democratic party s most pictures
que leaders, was accorded a final
tribute here today.
Governor Alfred F. Smith, of
New York, came as friend, COM
rade, not as presidential can
didate, to pay formal respect to the
individual who aided him in at
tanning that position.
The body of the veteran political
leader, who succumbed Wednesday
morning to septic poisoning, was
laid to rest in the Brennan family
plot in All Saints cemetery at Des-
PLANES, ILL.,, u miles west of Chi
cago.
George Brennan was buried, much
in the same manner as he had liv-
ed-without display or great for
mality. Such had been his last re-
quest before he lapsed into the
coma which ended in his death.
And the public's greatest tribute
was its grant of that request.
Throughout the entire services
which began early in the morning
at the North Ide Apartment home,
the plan of simplicity was carried
out.
