CAPITAL MOURNING
DEATH OF SENATOR
Effect of Demise on Senate
SpecuIated-Governor
Can Fill Vacancy.
By the Associated Press

/ BY the Associated Press.
Flags flying at half staff on the Cap
itol today symbolized the Nations grief
at the passing of its Senator diplomat,
Dwight w. Morrow of New Jersey.
Stunned by the news of Senator
Morrow'S death. the Capital expected
generally that President Hoover would
put aside his official problems tomorrow
TO attend the funeral in Englewood of
his friend and adviser.
! The President was deeply moved
when advised of Morrow's death as he
left the worlds series game in Phila-
delphia. He said the country has Suf-
fered a great loss" and added the Sen
ator's record was "of that sort of an
American who makes our country
great"
1 May Affect Senate Balance.
| 1t was only few months ago that
the Chief Executive lost another stall
wart of his administration. Nicholas
Longworth. Speaker of the House. He
made an overnight journey to Cincin-
natl for the funeral.
| While expressions of loss to the Ma
ton and sympathy to the Morrow fam
lily continued to pour from officialdom
throughout the country, the effect of
OCAAdtoL AOIIOW ucdlu upon the SELL
ate was specialized upon. 1t left the
makeup of the new Senate meeting in
December At Republicans and AT Dem
ocrats, with l Farmer-Laborite holding
the balance of power.
Governor Can Fill Vacancy.
Under New Jersey law, however. the
Governor can fill the vacancy until the
1882 election. He is a Republican. Had
Morrow died a few days sooner, how
ever, election of his successor would
have been thrown into an election to
be held next month.
Senator Morrow has been an intimate
adviser of the administration and has
been mentioned frequently in Repub-
lican circles in discussion of the vice
presidency next year. His possible
choice as the party's nominee for the
presidency in 1886 also had been widely
specialized upon.

today opening thousands of kilograms
and cablegrams.
Old friends of the family and men
in public life continued to call at the
Morrow home today. Among today's
callers was President William Allan
Nelson of Smith College. Mrs. Morrow
and her two elder daughters are grad
yates of Smith and Miss Constance
Morrow is a student there now.
Curtis to Attend Rites.
Vice President Curtis was designated
at Washington today to attend the
funeral as President Hoover's repre-
sentative.
Vice President Curtis later appointed
the following senatorial committee to
attend:
Senators Kean, Moses, Watson, Rob-
inson, Arkansas; Borah, Fletcher,
Montana; Harris, Harrison, Glass, Reed,
Copeland, FesS, Frazier, Bingham,
Schall, Walsh, Massachusetts,; Tydings,
Wagnerl Hastings, Goldsborough, Hat
field and Walcott.
A police guard was posted about the
Morrow estate last night as the crush
of visitors continued to grow. Only
members of Congress, New Jersey State
officials, banking associates of Mr.. Nor
row and his own circle of friends and
relatives were permitted to enter to pay
their respects.
Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh, who was the
second daughter of the Morrows, re-
ceived word of the tragedy from Mrs
Morrow. 1t was relayed to the Lind
berghS aboard a British battleShip of
the China coast by the British naval
station radio at Shanghai. The message
urged them not to hurry home or to
change their vacation plans.
Complicates Politics.
With his death the political situation
IN New Jersey became tangled for the
time being. ) loss stunned his coll
leagues, who ognized him as the lead
ing Republican opponent of prohibition
His Democratic rivals. who throughout
the senatorial campaign had never
touched on or criticized his personal or
political life in a single speech, sent
their regrets to his family and to his
party.
Dwight Morrow, a comparative new
conner In politics, was dominant in New
Jerseys Republican circles. He was
the one man, politicians admitted, who
was greater in personal popularity than
the offices he hoped to win.
The gubernatorial campaign in New
Jersey between former United States
Senator Baird, whom Mr.. Morrow sue
ceeded, and former Gov. Harry A.
Moore, has been brought to an abrupt
halt by his death.
1t was thought in political circles that
either Baird or Walter E. Edge, Am
bassador to France, might be named by
Gov. Larson as his successor.

WALL STREET HURT
BY MORROW DEATH
Financial Center Probably
Feels Shock More Than
Any Other Quarter.
By Consolidated Press.

By Consolidated Press.
NEW YORK, October 6.-Wall Street
probably more deeply shocked by the
death of Dwight w. Morrow than any
other element in the Nation, recalled
today some Of the incidents in the
economist-statesman' career that made
him a leader in the financial center
Copper executives observed that ever
since 1927, when Mr.. Morrow quit coun-
selling them economically as we'll as
legally, the red metal industry has not
enjoyed SO much prosperity. Until
quite recent years Mr.. Morrow was the
largest shareholder of Kennecott Cop
per, from which shareholdings alone he
received sufficient income annually to
meet living expenses.
Quiet About Philanthropy.
/. 1t is not generally known that Mr..
Morrow was very generous in many
charitable activities. His name never
was connected with these, as he pre-
ferred anonymity in his philanthropieS.
Out of his Morgan partnership and
from income securities, aside from Ken
necott, came the funds that went to
charities.
While Mr.. Morrow was associated
with the copper industry he tried to
make metal men realize that sound eco
Monies must prevail in the industry.
Copper never advanced above the Is
cent level as long as his advice was
followed, despite the Smallness of
stocks. He always counseled that the
industry should maintain a close rela-
tionship between supply and demand.
Served AS Economist.
About seven years ago, when Mr.
Morrow was partner Of j. p Morgan
g. Co., the city editer of one of New
York's leading morning papers wanted
some information on an economic
problem. and the reporter put the ques-
lions to a Morgan partner, who gen.
orally is the public contact man.
That's subject you will have TO
take up with our economist" he said
AS an economist in those days was
usually a fifth assistant secretary. the
interviewers surprise may be imagined
when the first Morgan partner said:
meet Mr.. Morrow. our economist"
